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).
