UNITY AND STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Uniting, organizing and working together are natural in young age. In fact; they are important steps in stress management!

Naturally; and usually; we get involved in movements; based on issues; which eventually lead to; building of social and political organizations; such as working class unions and political parties, which could then serve as instruments; to bring about socioeconomic and political revolution.

However; gradually it becomes clear that �the issues� are not �simple�! Sometimes they are of immediate pertinence, such as accidents, disasters, crimes and coercive land acquisition or rehabilitation. But in other instances; they are long standing, wide spread and deep rooted; such as caste system, coercive traditions, and unjust laws.

We then realize that the solutions provided in these movements and organizations; even though honest; are ad hoc, palliative and sometimes even sectarian; and not radical, holistic and hence satisfactory. For example; we do not feel like opposing it or supporting reservation policy; as we feel that the very need of reservations should be abolished!

There have been several movements and organizations; for the welfare of a school, village, region, language, caste, religion; or other issues such as memorials, statues and philanthropic or charity activities. They have been serving a great role. But as we grow; we feel that these ideas and activities need to be buttressed with a holistic and radical solution.

This realization; brings a new and fresh rejuvenation in our life! We realize that our SWADHARMA; is to explore and realize (manifest) the already existing but concealed unity of universe; and complementarity in already existing and excellently functioning organizations and institutions; through the study, practice and propagation of Total Stress Management i.e. superliving i.e. holistic renaissance (the core of which is NAMASMARAN).
