HOLISTIC MEDICINE AND
LAW DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The laws regarding the practice of medicine in different parts of India and different parts of world are different. But in general; there are restrictions on the practitioners of different disciplines of medicine; thereby making it impossible for the doctors to grow from within and blossom; and for patients to exercise their right of getting holistic treatment and cure in with optimum efficiency. This has also lead to piecemeal, sectarian, inadequate, inefficient or at times
counterproductive efforts in the direction of holistic health or what one can call superliving! It is therefore necessary to evolve NON RESTRICTIVE laws for holistic training and holistic practice. One of the practical ways for this is to practice NAMSMARAN.
BUT WHAT IS NAMASMARAN? Namasmaran means; remembering the name of God, Guru, great souls; such
as prophets and holy objects such as planets and stars. It may be remembered silently, loudly, along with music, dance, along with breathing, in group or alone, either with counting by rosary (called SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without counting. The traditions vary from region to region and from religion to religion. However the universal principle underlying NAMASMARAN is to reorient your
physiological being with your true self. In fact while reorienting with true self you aim to establish and strengthen the bond or connection; between; your physiological being; with your true self. You aim at reunification with yourself! Since remembering your true self is the pinnacle of or culmination of individual
consciousness, and individual consciousness is the culmination of every activity in life, remembering any name of God or Guru (any symbol of your true self) is equivalent to opening the final common pathway for the individual consciousness associated with every possible activity to get funneled into or unified with 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 you are familiar with. It is the YOGA of YOGA because it is the culmination of consciousness associated with all the activities in the universe, which it encompasses as well! 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 it; in the process of liberation. Even so called non believers also would not “miss” the “benefit of remembering the true self through one symbol or another”! Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA it is meditation of meditation
also! It is the natural and ultimate climax of every form of meditation. 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 superbounty 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 manifest supertransactions 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 b experienced, most preferably, by billions!
