TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN; i.e. remembering God or true SELF) 13: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Doctor: Stress influences every cell of the body; to a greater or lesser extent. As a result; it predisposes an individual to a variety of problems! Besides predisposing to many diseases, it can actually cause many diseases. Lastly; it can aggravate already existing diseases; thereby increasing the morbidity and mortality.
Patient: Can you please give an example?
Doctor: Stress can actually cause as well as aggravate diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus in turn; makes an individual susceptible to infections e.g. tuberculosis. Because of this all the family members, neighbors and colleagues of the patient are at a risk! In addition, diabetes is many times associated with a number of complications such as retinopathy, cataract, (complications of eye), neuropathy, (complications of nerves), nephropathy, (complications of kidney), gangrene (Gangrene means death and putrefaction of a part of body necessitating removal of that part (amputation) for survival) etc. All this suffering leads to weakness and fickleness of mind! We lose the capacity to meet and fight the challenges!
Patient: Why don’t we find all this about Total Stress Management; in the mainstream educational curriculums?
Doctor: The policy makers and the leaders in educational field also are stressed! Thus their perception, feelings and behavior is also distorted and deranged; leading; to development of individualistic education with petty pursuits!
Patient: I see! Now I understand why you insist on practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN!
Doctor: NAMASMARAN entails the associated measures embodied in Total Stress Management.
Patient: So we must practice and promote, practice and promote and practice and promote!!!
Doctor: I may use the word "must"! But if you are convinced, then you certainly would do so, joyously, victoriously and on war footing!
Patient: Can we conquer the ignorance and apathy and NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management?
Doctor: Of course! We can and we will! It is writing on the wall!
Patient: Next time; will you please inspire and enlighten me further?
Doctor: I will try my best!
