1 BLISS
When I am confined to body, instincts, feelings and thoughts related to friends, relatives; status, institution, organization, party, country etc; it is a realm of individual, personal or subjective state! In this state I have urge not only to survive but to do everything possible to flourish, be powerful and dominate others!
In this state I go through the cycles of excitation and depression. But irrespective of the grandeur or ugliness of the success or failure respectively; I always remain weak and unsatisfied. I am always plagued by fear, anxiety, worry, anger, grief, guilt, elation and so on!
I remain; a mortal, ordinary, subjective and hence fallible creature in obliviousness to NAMA, which is the deepest ocean of bliss beyond my body, instincts, feelings and thoughts related to friends, relatives; status, institution, organization, party, country etc! NAMA is beyond the realm of individual, personal or subjective state! It is truly all powerful, universal and unifying.
Being associated (even if it is a weak link initially) with this omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent bliss viz. NAMA; is the grace of NAMA (Guru) and is victory (VIJAY) of NAMA and hence we call it NAMAVIJAY!

2. RESCUE
When I get up in the morning, the stiffness of the body and weakness of mind make me miserable. I yearn for physical care and mental props!
Remembrance of NAMA, though not easy and spontaneous; connects me to the reservoir of the eternal energy! I realize that expectation of physical care or pep talk; for my petty self is not truly remedial. It is actually counterproductive as these temporary and superficial measures make me weaker and dependent.
In spite of my indolence; someone pulls me out of it and connects me with NAMA! Who is He? He is the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent ocean of bliss deep within i.e. my Guru i.e. NAMA itself!
Thus; my being associated with this empowering remembrance of NAMA; is not my victory (VIJAY); but it is the grace and victory (VIJAY) of NAMA (Guru) itself!
Hence this is NAMAVIJAY!

3. SCRIPT
Why do things happen differently? Why do people behave differently? Why everything appears to go on without any reference to our like or dislike? Is this not frustrating?
We often feel helpless because of the inevitability of the life we have to go through! The physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual problems are often followed by solutions! These solutions are indeed increasingly holistic! But they are still not completely satisfactory in view of not getting anticipated results! As a result feel lowly, helpless and miserable!
It is frustrating, if we do not realize the fact that; NAMA is in everyone’s heart - core! It writes the script! For every being in the universe; there is a script; contingent in NAMA! This timed unfolding and unraveling of the script is GURUKRUPA! Since my Guru Shri Brahmachaitanya Maharaj Gondavalekar knew and always maintained that his immortal self; is inseparable from NAMA; we can call this NAMAKRUPA also!
In fact; there is a script for everything including houses, villages, provinces and nations! NAMAKRUPA manifests in the form of NAMASMARAN according to the specific script in all these!
The realization that everything we thought we did; was a script contingent in the NAMA; the eternal ocean of bliss in our heart; begins to set us free! We begin to gradually identify ourselves with the bliss; and the restlessness, anxiety, worry, tension and the harrowing burden of “our own selves”; begin to disappear! This also happens as per the script!
How does this happen?
NAMA extends its bounty in the form of the process of NAMASMARAN – the panacea; and we begin to get absorbed in NAMA; through the practice of NAMASMARAN! The global benevolence begins to manifest subsequently.
This process is the fulfilling culmination of all our aspirations known and unknown; and identified and unidentified!
This victory (VIJAY) of innate, warm and rejuvenating reassurance is flowing from NAMA; and hence we call this; NAMAVIJAY!

4. LIFELINE
It happened about 15-20 years back when I was about 45. I had no practice of hiking and trekking. But I had ventured to climb Harishchandragad along with my students. Even though it took almost a whole day, I somehow managed to climb it!

But the next day; when I was climbing down a rock, which was steep like a wall; on the way I started becoming nervous and diffident! In fact there was no support whatsoever; and hence it was frightening! At a certain point; my legs began to tremble!

The 4000 ft deep valley in front of me was staring at me as if to swallow me! There was nobody to help! I could not ask anyone to give me a hand of help; as that would imply that person committing suicide with me! Ironical it may appear; but in spite of being a person from modern medical profession and high tech society (of which we are so proud about); there was no possibility of any help whatsoever! I was frozen with fear and developed cold feet! There was nothing to hold on to. I was left completely helpless to do anything to save my life.

Being totally helpless; I was forced to prepare myself for death! I began to see that all my family and kin and kith were to be left behind and I was to be dissolved in nothingness! For me; everything seemed finished!

At this point; suddenly a thought sprang in my mind from the eternal source of universe i.e. NAMA (Guru)! “Even if everything is perished, NAMA would not perish! It would continue to enliven the universe eternally!”

NAMASMARAN literally took charge of my being without any control mine; over it! Soon I did not realize how like a waft of wind; I swiftly reached the bottom of the rock!

Was this my achievement? Was this my victory? Some may argue that this was will power! But frankly speaking; this “power of will” was not accessible to me at “my will”! I was miserably helpless!

This incidence highlights the supremacy of NAMA in universe and in our otherwise mortal and feeble life! This is an example of the victory (VIJAY) of the omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent NAMA (Guru); which I call NAMAVIJAY!

5. DROP
The feeling that I am fine at this moment, in this condition and am grateful to my Guru, God or nature; is possible, if I get even a drop of the nectar of immortality; at this moment!
This drop of nectar springs from the source of nectar deep within me! This drop is nothing else; but the loving memory of NAMA the source of the nectar, which literally revitalizes and rejuvenates me!
As a result of the appreciation that this is the culmination of all my aspirations; I realize that I have nowhere to go and nothing else to achieve! I have none to be afraid of and none to be adored other than NAMA! I no more get bogged down and/or dragged by anything other than NAMA! This is why; I am in peace. Interestingly; this is true; even if I am not in good shape in terms of physical, social or financial criteria.
This state of peace amidst unrest; is not “my” feat! It is not “my” victory (VIJAY)! It is the victorious grace; of the very source of the nectar; NAMA (Guru), who although; is deep within me; is inaccessible to me on my own!
Hence this is NAMAVIJAY!

6. NAMAVIJAY
NAMAVIJAY is an exciting experience that NAMA is always looking after me, caring for and nurturing me; and in fact; the whole universe, like mother!
NAMAVIJAY is being in spell of NAMA! As NAMA is the constant and unending and ultimate source of the nectar of love, care, nourishment and empowerment; and hence immortality; this spell endows a kind of constancy to me amidst the innumerable and disturbing ups and downs in life!
This can be said to be the most fulfilling dawn of global welfare in one’s heart!
It is a kind of experience, which I feel like trying to capture in words and reiterate and consolidate! I feel like dwelling on it! It is rejuvenating and revitalizing! It is consoling as well as fulfilling!
It is beyond words! But it is extremely reassuring! It is liberating! I feel like re-living it again and again! It is a pleasant and abstract phenomenon and it is deep inside! It is there inside but cannot be located or pinpointed! It is; as if; it has engulfed me! But I am unable to see, hear, smell, taste or feel it in any way and identify it! I am unable to articulate it!
It is like oxygen for an individual in asphyxia. It is like a final destination of rest, but without the element of fatigue or indolence! It is a drop of nectar of timeless immortality; amidst the stress of irresistible downhill passage towards death! It is a ray of hope in otherwise hopeless passage of time! It is an experience of the power amidst the frailty! It is the experience of vitality amidst the inborn inertia!
NAMAVIJAY is a process, in which the victorious immortal bliss (NAMA) eternally and irresistibly pulls us; from our peripheral place towards its central, supreme and controlling position (VIJAY)! In other words; the omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent (NAMA), absorbs us from our finite, mortal and helpless state into its infinite, immortal and potent state (VIJAY)!
Is this experience worth its pursuit?
There is no question whether it is worth or not! There is no option! It is inevitable and unavoidable; only the time course and the nature of the process i.e. the experiences vary! Individuals, families, places, organizations, people, and even nations and continents are brought under its spell in an unimaginable, unprecedented, inexplicable and irresistible manner from time to time!
This unifying, harmonizing ennobling universal phenomenon is cosmic homeostasis! It can also be called Holistic Evolution, Holistic Renaissance, Total Stress Management, Total Well Being, Holistic Health, Global Welfare and SUPERLIVING and is an overt manifestation of the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA and we call it NAMAVIJAY!

7. HOLISTIC EVOLUTION
Can we wish to be evolved? No! It cannot be wished for! It is beyond our desire and control! It is “initiated” and “controlled” by NAMA – the absolute truth; through the process of NAMASMARAN!
NAMASMARAN is a trans-scientific and trans-temporal process of individual and universal blossoming, which may be termed holistic evolution, which embodies organic evolution.
NAMA ensures; both our breathing (and the course of our life) and our practice of NAMASMARAN (and our holistic evolution and holistic living); as per; what may be called a divine plan; for an individual, place, country, continent and the whole universe!
Realizing and remembering this pleasant fact is at the behest of NAMA! Hence this phenomenon, including this experience of blossoming in us; is actually the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA and hence I call it NAMAVIJAY!
8. GOAL
What is my goal?
Pursuing a particular technical, academic, commercial or artistic career, earning money, acquiring power or fame etc; can be short term or even long term objectives. Pursuing a particular hobby can also be an objective.
But none of these constitute my goal. Goal is something that I value most! Goal is that one, to which I give top most priority! Goal is that, for which I can keep aside the thought of everything mentioned above! Goal is that something; beyond which there nothing to achieve!
My goal got crystallized in the course of my study and practice of NAMASMARAN! Gradually I realized that the highest goal of human life; described as self realization, liberation, ultimate freedom, nirvana or actual experience of immortality etc; in philosophical literature; is the same as being increasingly and lovingly involved in NAMASMARAN! I realized that being in NAMASMARAN is my way, my top priority and my singular goal!
However; this pleasant realization of my goal and my priority; is not my achievement! Moreover, it keeps on fleeting due to my weakness!
Actually this bounty; in spite of my utter handicap in every possible manner; is showered by NAMA and hence the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA! This is NAMAVIJAY!

9. REVIVAL
Gradually I began to sink and lose consciousness. Probably for the first time I got a glimpse of what death really meant!
In that state of consciousnesses; death was a reality and it was deadly! Being separated from my body meant indescribably horrifying event! I was utterly miserable at that brush with death!
From the depth of the frighteningly dark unconsciousness that embodied death; echoed the sound of NAMA! It absorbed me in NAMASMARAN! Suddenly I realized that I needed sugar and somehow managed to eat some! Actually; I had to literally grind it and then swallow with water; as my mouth was totally dry!
I got revived! NAMA the immortal bliss; did not want me to part from this body at that time! It wanted that I continued to be in it; for the years to come, practice and promote NAMASMARAN; and get the first hand experience of being increasingly involved in NAMA!
Was this my victory?
No!
This is the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA and is applicable to whole universe! I call this NAMAVIJAY!

10. NAMA EVA JAYATE
We have all heard about SATYAMEVA JAYATE. It means absolute truth is always victorious!
Recently Indian government launched a program called SHRAMEVA JAYATE. It means efforts are always victorious!
In the first instance; since absolute truth is a mystery for most of us; its victory does not make much sense to us!
In the second instance; though SHRAMA is very well known to most of us; its victory is really doubtful to most of us!
However both are found to be precisely correct and also complementary; if we look in the matter keenly!
The tangible aspect of absolute truth; is NAMA and the subtlest aspect of SHRAMA connecting us to the absolute truth; is remembering it i.e. its SMARAN!
The ultimate truth, which is beyond space, time and even our consciousness; is the same as NAMA! This ultimate truth - NAMA - has blessed the universe with the privilege of NAMASMARAN! This globally benevolent blessing is a victory of NAMA and hence this NAMAVIJAY! Hence it would be appropriate to say NAMA always victorious i.e. NAMA EVA JAYATE!

11. SATISFACTION
Many of us feel proud if we are able to give money, shelter, food, medical aid and such help to others. Many of us feel proud if we are able to govern people or control people. Many of us feel proud if are popular and if we could entertain people or endow people with satisfaction of one kind or another!
But this satisfaction is temporary and not complete.
There is always a sense of incompletion. Why is this so?
This is because; the ultimate satisfaction is associated with the pursuit of fulfilling the innate urge! What is this innate urge? This innate urge without pursuit of which, we cannot be fully satisfied, is self realization. The practical implication of this is; being in NAMASMARAN i.e. remembrance of the name of God.
Interestingly; our pursuit of this innate, ultimate, but often subconscious urge (common to all); to realize self through NAMASMARAN; empowers and enables others also; to practice promote and get involved in the global mega process of NAMASMARAN and be on the path of ultimate satisfaction!
This understanding that reinforces and consolidates the process of individual and universal blossoming; is not our personal victory but the victory (VIJAY) of our innate core and the ultimate truth NAMA; and hence it is called NAMAVIJAY!

12. COMMON ASPIRATION
One of the hallmarks of NAMAVIJAY is a revelation that our own innate aspiration is common to thousands of us; spread all over the world! What is this innate and common aspiration?
This innate aspiration or urge is that of merging with NAMA through NAMASMARAN!
Initially; these appear to be dry and sterile words!
But in the course of time we begin to appreciate the unifying, harmonizing and benevolent impact of NAMASMARAN! We begin to appreciate the enchanting byproducts of NAMASMARAN viz. the increasing peace and freedom on the one hand; and the incoming holistic renaissance on the other! This reduces our hesitancy and makes us bold and brave!
In spite of being relatively new to NAMASMARAN; we are charged and possessed by the idea of practicing and promoting; with priority; NAMASMARAN and engender the eventual holistic renaissance!
It is amazing that in spite of nobody marketing it; NAMA enthralls the whole world and its SMARAN i.e. the activity of NAMASMARAN; becomes the global mega process of NAMASMARAN! It becomes the talk of town!
People from every nook and corner of the world begin to get curious and inquisitive about the scope and potentials of NAMASMARAN and the onset of holistic renaissance also called cosmic homeostasis!
This phenomenon is like a global spring! It encompasses the whole world! Since it is initiated by the ultimate truth, our Guru (NAMA); truly speaking; this is NAMAVIJAY!

13. LIGHT
Often we think that the present moment is miserable; because there is shortage of a certain amount of money, absence of a particular person or non availability of some substance we are habituated or addicted to! We also think that the present moment is miserable; if there is pain, fear, discomfort or disgust!
Actually this is because; at this particular moment we are in defeated state of mind! We are bogged down by the apparent scenario! We are unable to see the supremacy of Guru underlying the situation! This dark phase can be violent to self or others!
The grace of Guru empowers, enables and guides us to walk on the road of NAMASMARAN! Later in the course of time; it opens our inner eyes; and helps us to see loving and caring presence of our Guru irrespective of the apparent unlikable nature of the circumstance! It saves us from being succumbed to the apparent reality! We become fearless (in surrendering to our Guru, who is actually the supreme in every circumstance) in every circumstance and actually emanate divine influence as per the divine plan!
This victorious state is actually due to the victory (VJIAY) of the influence of NAMA (our Guru in true sense) on us; and hence I call it NAMAVIJAY!

14. DESIRE
The desire of individual and global welfare is born within; as a vague urge. It springs from within as an ambiguous upsurge! It is articulated and manifested in different ways and in various activities.
But this desire of ours is never satisfied or fulfilled!
This is because; there is no distinct criterion or blue print of individual and global welfare that would be fully satisfactory! Hence we are never in a position to declare that “individual and global welfare” is achieved!
Should we accept failure in such a case?
No!
We should have patience.
Our desire actually gets initiated beyond our control; from the ultimate and supreme controller of the universe! He generates as well as designs; our desire as well as our actions and He alone shapes the results; in terms of scope and limitations of our desire! This is all according to His divine plan!
Through NAMASMARAN; all our finite and mortal existence; including “our desire of individual and global welfare, our activities and our achievements or otherwise” and also; our “not so noble urges and impulses”; merge with the immortal and infinite ocean of the nectar of NAMA from where they emerge! This is really fulfilling!
This is Guru Krupa (bounty) or Guru Bhet (meeting); in as much as it is victory (VIJAY) of NAMA i.e. NAMA VIJAY!

15. AWAKENING
Many times; usually when we get up in morning we are sunk in indolence, lethargy, lassitude and inertia completely, and are oblivious to our consciousness and conscience.
We are unable to wake up completely! We wake up merely physically and continue to live in slumber; throughout the day and through years and decades!
But when we listen to the call from within; we become restless! We begin to think of and get motivated to pursue our conscience! In the process; we are either excited by the call from within; or are frightened and saddened by the futility and vanity of our mortal existence!
At some point of time the call from within; the inner voice; becomes crystal clear and we begin the practice of NAMASMARAN!
The restlessness born out of the awareness of mortality; begins to subside over a period of decades as we begin to see the glimpse of the immortal self and also the unifying convergence of the universe towards it; i.e. NAMA! This victory (VIJAY) of NAMA in unifying us; is NAMAVIJAY!

16. DETOXIFICATION
Involvement in life is natural. Involvement in our own physical needs, our passions, our emotional needs, our intellectual needs is natural. This natural involvement is invariably associated with intense pains and pleasures. It is associated with severe likes and dislikes and profound excitement and depression. It is associated with passionate love and violence.
But it is interesting that our natural involvement gradually gets detoxified from the toxin of petty selfishness; in the course of holistic evolution.
This victorious detoxification of natural involvement takes place at individual and universal levels. It is characterized by lowering levels of vested interests, lowering levels of ulterior motives and lowering levels of petty expectations. As these all; are responsible for the disruptive and disastrous perspectives, policies, plans, programs and their implementations; their lowering is important and leads to increasing unity and harmony inside and outside at individual and global levels.
This victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate orchestrator (NAMA); in detoxifying us; is NAMAVIJAY!
Truly; NAMA is the center of attraction, convergence and merging for all!

17. AWARENESS
As and when I am excessively bombarded from within and from outside; by petty perspective, petty thinking, petty feelings, petty passions, petty pursuits; and petty activities, I am incapable of “sensing” the global surge of holistic evolution and holistic renaissance; from inside and outside!
Naturally I am cynical and skeptical.
NAMA (Guru) wakes me up from my slumber; and shows me how billions of people are in the process of merging with Him through NAMASMARAN in different forms! He gives the reassurance that I am not alone! Billions of people (even though unaware; and hence silent about the process) are with me! He reassures that even though this process is not advertised, promoted or marketed; it is far more real and victorious than the highly publicized and heavily hyped affairs!
This is really heartening and rejuvenating! Thanks to NAMA for this holistic evolution as well as its awareness!
This awakening of mine is truly the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA and hence it is NAMAVIJAY!

18. REMEDY AND REWARD
There are thousands and thousands of varieties of people living in society. Their activities; and contexts of their activities keep on changing! It is very difficult to judge people; as most often we are not aware of the factors responsible and/or influencing; the people and their activities.
This is true for us; as individuals; also! It is not possible to judge ourselves as well! We do not know the subtle factors responsible for and/or influencing our activities, which we may feel proud about or guilty about!
Being judgmental about everything including ourselves; and searching for corrective measures; is a stage in our development. May be it is in tune with the plan of the unfathomably wise and infinitely potent nature!
Today; I can only say; that; NAMASMARAN is a panacea! It is a key to individual and universal blossoming! It is practicable for everyone in every nook and corner of the world; irrespective of caste, creed, religion, region and race!
Interestingly; it heals as a remedy, chastises as a punishment, purifies as a prayashchitta or encourages as a reward; whichever may be appropriate; for a given individual (or society)! In any case; it always nurtures and blossoms us from within!
But having said that; the very emergence, practice and globalization of NAMASMARAN; and hence the manifestation of individual and universal blossoming; are functions of the time (i.e. the epoch in which we live), which in turn is in accordance with the plan of the cosmic wisdom and thus; is a victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate truth (NAMA) i.e. NAMAVIJAY!

19. JUDGMENT
As we grow in size; we find that the objects, which appeared very large, now begin to appear smaller in size!
As we grow richer; we find that the objects, which appeared expensive and unaffordable earlier; now begin to appear inexpensive and easily affordable!
As we practice NAMASMARAN; and grow from within; we find that the objects, which appeared extremely valuable earlier; now begin to appear trivial!
One of the hallmarks of the beneficial effects of NAMASMARAN; is increasing freedom from the dragging influence of the fleeting world of basal instincts apparent in money, fame, power, glamour and glitter! This adds unusual grace to one’s personality; and is truly the grace of our Guru!
This grace of our Guru, which is always and fondly cherished by us, if we are fortunate; is not our victory; but it is the victory (VIJAY) of Guru (NAMA) and hence it is NAMAVIJAY!
This grace continues through lives after lives forever; not only in case of individuals; but also in case of families, societies and nations!

20. GRACE
Our life is associated with literally innumerable events in trillions of cells! These events take place at unconscious, subconscious and conscious levels! They go on and on irrespective of our likes and dislikes!
As and when these events are associated with pains and pleasures; and likes and dislikes; we begin to make choices and decisions ranging from having innocuous personal interactions to waging world wars!
Most of us come to terms with life; by either pretending that we are satisfied or admitting that we are frustrated; at different stages in life!
The perfect point of complete satisfaction is described variously as MUKTI, NIRVANA, MOKSHA, ULTIMATE FREEDOM, SELF REALIZATION AMRUTANUBHAV; GOD REALIZATION and so on!
As described by many; the increasing involvement in NAMA; is a preceding stage of this perfect point of complete satisfaction! Experience of this stage is close to that of winning the world!
When some of us reach here; it is the grace of our Guru (NAMA) and not our personal achievement! It is the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA; and hence it is NAMAVIJAY!

21. BENEFIT
Practice of NAMASMARAN is actually a training of doing an activity where you may not get any tangible or demonstrable “benefit”!
NAMASMARAN actually transforms us to our original omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient state, which is totally devoid of any desires! This is because; this is a state from where everything (including the desires) originates! This is an immortal state. But having said this on the basis of the glimpse of this state; actual realization of it may require decades or even more!
When we are told that don’t expect anything; we think that we should not expect money, name, fame, power etc.
So we stop expecting these things and start expecting satisfaction; because we think it is assured by Guru! But this concept of “getting” itself traps us! We mistakenly take the position of a seeker! We think (erroneously) that the “satisfaction” referred to by our Guru, is some kind of gratification or complacence; and keep waiting for it; and are eventually disappointed.
But from time to time; Guru pulls us out of this abyss of disappointment and shows us that the satisfaction or fulfillment is already there; though inaccessibly deep inside! We have simply to go on practicing NAMASMARAN to reach and merge in it!
This empowering nurturing of us; from our innate core; amidst apparently unbearable agonies and terrifying turbulences; is the victory (VIJAY) of our Guru (NAMA)! Hence this is NAMAVIJAY!

22. STRENGTH
If we have conviction in our ideas and our work, then we don’t wait for approval or disapproval of our work! We are fairly independent and steadfast on our path! But this is not easy! In fact such conviction is rare!
If we have ulterior motives and vested interests, then either achievement of these or intense hope of achieving these; may make us thick skinned and immune to approval or disapproval; and hence steadfast on our path!
But in absence of strong conviction and in absence of such dubious motives and interests; we tend to be vulnerable to public opinion and peer pressure!
Being introduced to the practice of NAMASMARAN and being able to conceptualize its global benevolence; are surely not our own feats! As these insights emanate from NAMA (Guru himself) from the depths of our beings; in spite of our drawbacks and deficiencies; as individuals; these embody a great victory (VIJAY) of NAMA (our Guru)!
Hence; truly; this is NAMAVIJAY!

23. INTROSPECTION
The advantage of writing about NAMASMARAN is that we face adoration, admiration, compliments, criticism, opposition and even humiliation.
But in general; we feel disheartened as people do not accept, practice and promote this panacea of global benevolence with the zeal and zest we expected.
This is of great advantage to gradually understand ourselves more realistically; in terms of our own commitment to NAMASMARAN; because as the time passes; we begin to realize four things; with increasing clarity and conviction!
1. We ourselves; are far from being lovingly and buoyantly involved in NAMASMARAN
2. It is really difficult to accept, practice, promote and get involved in NAMASMARAN
3. We as well as the people at large; are sure to appreciate, accept, practice, promote and get involved in NAMASMARAN; at appropriate time
4. This process of cosmic homeostasis as per the divine plan is not our personal victory; but it is the fulfilling victory (VIJAY) of our innate core, NAMA (our Guru)!

24. OPPORTUNITY
Right from morning throughout the day; whenever we feel low; we try to “elevate”, “refresh” or “entertain” ourselves in many ways. This is true on short term as well as on long term basis!
But do we succeed? Do we succeed in being at ease with ourselves?
If we do, then there is nothing to discuss! But if we don’t then we have to seek a solution!
Often we feel bored or restless because we have nothing to do! Actually; is it true that we have nothing to do, if we have no work, no company, no entertainment or no excitement?
If we think keenly, then we find that being in such a state is far from “having nothing to do”! Actually; it is an opportunity to fulfill the greatest ever mission in life – the mission of self realization – the mission of individual and universal blossoming – the mission of practicing, promoting and getting increasingly involved in NAMASMARAN! The so called idle time or free time; is actually the greatest ever possession of ours; and we can make maximum use of it for our ultimate fulfillment!
But being able to think this way; is possible by virtue of the legacy of the enlightened visionaries throughout history; in the form of stupendous work in different forms! Actually; this is the grace of the ultimate truth flowing through them!
The ultimate truth is nothing else but NAMA! Hence this realization is not an individual accomplishment; but victory (VIJAY) of NAMA; and hence appropriately referred to as NAMAVIJAY!

25. HEALING
Is there any problem with the world?
Apparently there is a problem; in terms of lack of unity and harmony! But this problem is very much there inside us as well!
We have no unity and harmony inside us!
There is a chaos and cacophony inside; going on for ages!
We think there is no love, compassion, justice and so on; in the world. But there is no love, compassion and justice within us as well!
This can be proved, if we consider the anger, hatred, jealousy, ruthlessness, callousness, guilt, revengefulness, anxiety, restlessness, fear and so on; inside us; and which harm us!
Hence the enlightened people from all over the world advocate a holistic approach! They prescribe an action that can heal us from within; by purifying us of the above said harmful elements; and thereby enable us to create an environment (through holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and their implementation) conducive to such healing in the society.
The action advocated by this enlightening wisdom spread all over the world, is called NAMASMARAN, JIKRA, SIMARAN, SUMIRAN, JAP, JAAP and so on! This action is simple and universal. It actually implies reorientation to our innate core, realization of the true self and release of the pure nectar from there that heals us as well as the whole world as stated above!
Since this wisdom has originated from the ultimate truth viz. NAMA (and not matter, energy, space and time) and descended through different persons; this process of global enlightenment is; victory (VIJAY) of NAMA i.e. NAMAVIJAY!

26. WELCOME
Some of us are indulging in or waiting for; different things we are interested in! But what about “the spring”, which would rejuvenate, revitalize and blossom; all of us? As and when we are unaware of this global spring; we are not excited to welcome it whole heartedly and celebrate its arrival!
However some of us sense this incoming global spring that is spreading in every nook and corner of our being and in every nook and corner of the world!
These harbingers of the global spring are excited and thrilled by the signals of this spring; and hence are unable to keep it a secret! They are unable to live without expressing it in one way or another!
Some of them are singing about it, some are painting about it; and some are expressing it through dance and theatre. Some are writing essays on it, some are depicting it in poetry and some are making movies on it! Many are sharing their joy on internet and social media and several others are simply talking about it amongst friends. In fact everybody is sharing this exciting news with one another!
What is this global spring? This is nothing else but the incoming mega process of NAMASMARAN, JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SIMARAN, SUMIRAN i.e. remembering one’s self (for atheists) and God (for the theists)!
The very hint itself of this global spring is enlivening! Neither the emergence of this global spring nor its hint is our success! It is the success (VIJAY) of the ultimate truth Guru (NAMA) and hence this is NAMAVIJAY!

27. CELEBRATION
If we love someone intensely, then we say he is close to our heart. Since Guru is the very core of our heart and soul; there no doubt that we love him maximally! But interestingly; firstly; he is not easily accessible to us, he does not communicate with us (in fact we don’t understand what he prompts us from within) and he is not confined to our heart! He is the core of every being! Guru is the same as true self, truth, God or NAMA.
In personal life as well as our social and professional life; when myriads of our activities going on consciously, subconsciously and unconsciously; serve to fulfill our innate core (Guru); it is success.
But; due to inaccessibility and lack of communication; with our innate core (Guru); this is not very easy! We have problem in knowing what he desires from us; and moreover; even if we come to know it; we don’t have significant control (even though we assume it) over our conscious, subconscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings and actions!
But the bounty of our Guru is a victorious global spring in the form of global mega process of NAMASMARAN! It cannot be resisted! It has made it possible for us; to listen as well as to follow the innate prompting from Guru and achieve individual and universal blossoming!
Is this not a time to celebrate this global victory (VIJAY) of NAMA i.e. NAMAVIJAY!

28. GENEROSITY
Can we separate ourselves from our sensory perceptions and experiences and the pains and pleasures born out of them? Can we isolate ourselves from our characteristic constitution and specific likes and dislikes? In other words; can we unshackle ourselves from the subjectivity with which we are shackled? Can we purify ourselves from the “I” i.e. ego, with which we are amalgamated?
Not only this endeavor; but the very idea of this endeavor is unbearable!
Hence; even the greatest ever seers, who themselves were free from ego; were totally objective and who in true sense are immortal; have not advocated us to arbitrarily try this!
However; by very nature; they were profoundly kind and generous and hence provided us with the activity of NAMASMARAN, which automatically catalyzes our holistic evolution! They have assured us that through NAMASMARAN we can conquer the transient pains and pleasures; associated with mortal subjectivity, pettiness and weakness.
This providence; in spite of our drawbacks; is NAMAVIJAY - the victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate truth i.e. NAMA (Guru); manifesting through enlightened seers all over the world!

29. DOMAINS
In Medical Education Technology (MET) there is a discussion on three domains of education. These are cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
However it has to be appreciated that all these domains are not water tight compartments and they influence one another.
For example; if my perception (cognitive domain) is defective then my view point can become sectarian and prejudiced (affective domain) and my actions such as speech (psychomotor domain) can be deteriorated. All three domains therefore must blossom in a holistic and unified/integrated manner.
Secondly; the teachers and students (facilitators and learners) are much more than merely the domains mentioned above. They have physical, instinctual, emotional, intellectual needs and capabilities.
Now, if we consider the nurturing or blossoming of all the needs and capabilities of an individual, then it is obvious that we cannot voluntarily influence the quality of our own thinking, feelings, our passions and our actions (even if we feel that way)! Hence how much ever we preach or pledge; we cannot bring about holistic blossoming of all the needs and capabilities!
Coming to affective domain in particular; we belonging to the medical fraternity; know that restriction; on breathing, sleep, drinking, eating, defecation, urination etc; causes severe STRESS.
But most of us do not recognize the STRESS caused by the self imposed restriction on assertion of our conscience, our inner voice or the prompting of our soul. Hence we do not assert our conscience.
But it is not that we do not like to assert our conscience. The problem is; we are unable to listen to our inner voice; amidst the cacophony of our own sensations, instincts, feelings and thoughts! In fact we are stupefied by all these!
However; there is nothing to despair!
There is a key provided by the great seers and spiritual leaders of the world the enlightened geniuses all over the world; for such holistic blossoming of all the domains and to enable ourselves; to listen to our inner voice and empower ourselves and to assert it! It is NAMASMARAN and is in vogue for millennia! It has been a part of majority of the world religions also. It is called NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN; which embodies remembering the name of God; implying our true self.
However; we all (not merely medical fraternity) still seem to be oblivious to its scope and potential in engendering holistic renaissance, in universal benevolence; in awakening us to our conscience, in overcoming our subjectivity, whims and fancies; and in listening to the voice of conscience and assert it!
If we all; but especially those belonging to the medical and paramedical fraternity; realize its scope and potential; and stop trivializing it (as something dealing with so called individual salvation), then we won’t be diffident and lethargic; in not only asserting our conscience; and nurturing our affective domain; but also including it in medical education technology for the blossoming of all the domains and in fact all needs and capabilities! We have to practice NAMASMARAN, preach it to our patients and globalize it for the benefit of mankind.
It appears that this is an incoming thing; and is indeed a victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate and trans-temporal truth NAMA (Guru)!

30. GOVERNMENT
The absolute truth is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. We say this because it is beyond human comprehension and hence subjective conceptualization.
As far I know, the universal road to the absolute truth has been created by the truth itself; through the enlightened geniuses all over the world. These enlightened individuals are typically; devoid of all prejudices, petty selfishness, vested interests, ulterior motives and sectarian outlook. They have surpassed every kind of subjectivity and have become objective. They represent the true aspiration of all the beings in the universe show; the road of universal benevolence!
This is road is practice of NAMASMARAN. It is called JIKRA, JAP, JAAP, SUMIRAN and SIMARAN. It means remembering the name of God and actually implies remembering, reorienting and realizing SELF!
We the people in politics and other different fields of life; if practice NAMASMARAN, then can give concrete expression to the abstract and benevolent inspiration of the enlightened geniuses!
Thus our perspective would be universal, our policies would be globally beneficial; our plans, programs and their implementation would be for the benefit of the world. In other words, our health care system, our agriculture, our security measures, our art, our theater, our movies, our music; our architecture and in short every activity in society; would evolve to serve individual and universal blossoming.
This is not easy.
But as the wings of NAMASMARAN are stronger than the all the deterring forces of gravity; this soaring high in the sky of freedom and harmony; is a certainty!
This is victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate truth; our Guru (NAMA) is NAMAVIJAY!
