WHAT IS NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Namasmaran usually embodies; remembering the name of God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and whatever is considered as holy e.g. planets and stars. It is remembered silently, loudly, along with music, dance, along with breathing, in group or alone. Further, NAMASMARAN is either counted by some means such as fingers, rosary (called SMARANI or JAPAMALA), or electronic counter; or practiced without counting. The traditions vary from region to region and from religion to religion.
However the universal principle underlying
NAMASMARAN is to reorient our physiological and social being; with our true self and establish and strengthen the bond between; our physiological and social being; with our true self; and finally reunification or merger with our true self!
Individual consciousness is the culmination of every activity in life. NAMASMARAN is the pinnacle of; or culmination of individual consciousness; and the final common pathway; to objective or cosmic consciousness. Thus we get funneled into or unified with our true self (objective or cosmic consciousness)!
Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the YOGA of YOGA in the sense; that it is the culmination of consciousness associated with every possible procedure and technique in the yoga; that we are familiar with.
It is the YOGA of YOGA; also because; it is the culmination of consciousness associated with all the activities in the universe!
It is YOGA of YOGA because everybody in the world irrespective of his/her tradition and the beliefs; would eventually, ultimately and naturally reach it; in the process of liberation. Even; so called non believers also would not �miss� the �benefit of NAMASMARAN� as they may �remember true self� through some other way; or another symbol!
Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA; it is meditation of meditation also! This is because the natural and ultimate climax of every form of meditation; is remembering true self or merging with cosmic consciousness effortlessly!
These facts however have to be realized with persistent practice of NAMSMARAN; and not blindly believed; or blindly disbelieved; with casual approach!
In short; NAMSMARAN is a super-bounty of cosmic consciousness; for every individual to realize it (cosmic consciousness)! This is truly a super-bounty because a person, who experiences it, rises above mercenary, commercial and even professional and charity planes and manifests super- transactions in his or her life!
These are just few observations to give rough idea about what is NAMASMARAN. NAMASMARAN is an ocean of bliss. Its true meaning is beyond description in words; and has to be experienced, not by one or few persons sporadically; but most preferably, by billions!
One is said to achieve ANUSANDHAN, which is a state of ultimate freedom; or being connected with true self (through the name of God; NAMASMARAN) as inspired by the Guru; in traditional practice. It is beyond all subjective considerations and pursuits; and hence; has the emancipating effect of facilitating ANUSANDHAN; on the entire universe!
The last point is; NAMASMARAN is being practiced by billions even now. But even though all of them are not enlightened instantly and equally; many of them; are certainly enlightened and empowered to evolve, guide and consolidate the global conscience; and thereby; actually manifest the global unity, harmony and justice!

WHAT IS SUPERLIVING? DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

WHAT IS SUPERLIVING? DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
From early childhood to ripe old age we are always in dilemma of making a right choice! There are millions of dilemmas; such as; which toy to play with, which partner to bond with, which seeds to sow, which shares to invest, which leader to trust, which guru to follow, which policies to adopt; and so on! The nature of dilemmas; varies; as the constitutions, age groups, geographic regions, occupations, religions and the situations vary.
SUPERLIVING is a continuous, unending and yet fulfilling expedition of increasing the percentage; of right choices. By right choices; we mean; those choices, which give maximum satisfaction that lasts for maximum time; and involves maximum people. Further; it enhances the individual and global blossoming; defying the opposing forces; inside and outside us!
All religions, ideologies, traditions, customs, conventions; on the one hand and the scientific, technological, literary, artistic and cultural developments on the other; contribute to this! The hallmark of the SUPERLIVING; is evolution and implementation of globally benevolent perspective, policies, plans and programs; at the helm of the global affairs.
The simplest, easiest, totally inexpensive, universally acceptable common minimum program; that is practicable in any situation; throughout the day; is NAMASMARAN (jap, jaap, sumiran, simaran i.e. remembering God�s name i.e. true self).
It is hypothesized; that NAMASMARAN would reorient us; through our individual consciences and consciousnesses; to the cosmic consciousness; common to all; and reveal to us; the most pleasant fact; of the unity of our (otherwise divergent and conflicting) individual consciences and consciousnesses. The more the people involved in this; the faster would be the revelation!

WHY AND WHEN NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
If there is a thorn inside, then it hurts badly and the child cries. But if you try to remove it, then it resists and cries more. A sick child refuses to take injection because; it is apprehensive about the pain it produces. The list of such instances can be very long; in fact; unending.
The point is simple. If you do not know the cause and nature of your problem; and the efficiency of its solutions, then you tend to despise and reject the solutions.
Today; most of us are complaining of one thing or another. Some are not complaining; but the others are complaining about them! This is especially important; because people with all medical investigations �normal� and diagnosed as having no clinical disease; are suffering; or at least they say so!
The suffering is largely because of; the �maturing; from blissful ignorance�; of perception, feelings and actions; and hence; the solution lies; in further maturation of these! This requires triumphant channelization of the biologically dominated perceptions, feelings and actions; towards true self!
NAMASMARAN (jap, jaap, jikra, sumiran, simaran i.e. remembering God�s name i.e. one�s true self); is a holistic remedy and actually a panacea for such a triumph. It is a golden opportunity and we are privileged to know about it!
The answer to �Why NAMASMARAN?� is; �there is no other simpler, inexpensive, universally acceptable and practicable in every possible condition; alternative!� and the answer to �when NAMASMARAN?� is; from �from now�; because; �sooner the better; and more the merrier�!
YAJNYA, SACRIFICE AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

YAJNYA, SACRIFICE AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Are Yajnya, sacrifice and namasmaran synonymous?
Yajnya is offering, sacrifice is also offering and NAMASMARAN; is also offering!
Yajnya involves offering of different materials with a specified procedure.
Sacrifice also involves offering of possessions including the near and dear objects, entities and even animals.
NAMASMARAN is a gradual offering (knowingly or unknowingly); of; one�s individuality and subjectivity; perspective, thoughts, emotions and passions; achievements and failures; pains and pleasures; virtues and vices; and likes and dislikes; at the lotus feet of the objective consciousness/guru!
There onwards he or she; is assured that all his or her aspirations, duties and missions; while blossoming into the aspirations of the entire universe (cosmic will); are being taken care of by objective or cosmic consciousness i.e. Almighty i.e. Guru. The subjective attachment, infatuations and frustrations (often resulting fanaticism); begin to disappear. Does this really happen? It is best to verify!

YOGA AND STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
One of the causes of failure in STRESS MANAGEMENT in individual and global life; is;
Relegating the concept of yoga; to mere physical postures, breathing techniques, kriyas and dietary control, which are important ways to more healthy life; but; in isolation; and in absence of holistic perspective; incomplete, inadequate and inappropriate. Further; if and as they are hyped and sold; for mere petty personal gains and/or gratification of ego; they nurture; deception and deceit.
This trivialization and vulgarization of yoga; is largely because of the influence of reductionist and individualistic way of life; revolving around petty personal benefits. This is not unnatural and we need not condemn ourselves for this. However we have the great opportunity, choice and privilege to explore, understand, appreciate and practice yoga in its essence and entirety; as explained below.
Yoga is a connection between right and left cerebral cortex and yoga is also the connection between metabolic, endocrine, autonomic and central nervous activities. It is an overall ascending and integrated process of global perspective, thoughts, emotions, instincts and actions leading to; individual and global blossoming in every sphere of life. Thus it cannot be separated and isolated from:
1. The perspective of global unity and harmony,
2. The thoughts and policies of global welfare,
3. Motivation and concern for global welfare,
4. Mutually gratifying and satisfying instincts
5. Activities conducive to individual and universal blossoming!
6. Majority of the great seers preach NAMASMARAN; common to most of the countries, religions, ideologies, races, traditions, conventions and customs; as an essential core of yoga (the other measures, procedures and techniques being supportive)!
