I do this to
Conquer COUGH & COLD
Dr.
Shriniwas Kashalikar
When I get cough and cold, I know that they can be due to serious causes. But usually they are not serious. Hence I; 1. Do KAPALBHATI i.e. active abdominal expiration on empty stomach. I would not advise to do this in presence of abdominal wound, surgery, pregnancy or umbilical hernia. 2. Drink several glasses of water in morning and induce vomiting. 3. Do forward bending and backward bending so that
expectoration i.e. sputum in the chest is mobilized. 4. Add jaggery i.e. gud and black pepper in addition to ginger to my tea. Sometimes I add lemon grass to my tea. 5. Rub my chest with oil medicated with camphor, peppermint oil etc. And do facial massage, especially region below the eyes (maxillary region) and sides of the nose and forehead. 6. Chew liquorice i.e. glycerhiza glabra i.e.
jeshtimadh i.e. mulethi and/or clove. 7. If I find it very disturbing then I resort to Ayurvedic expectorant added with adulsa (vasa), tulsi (holy basil, turmeric etc. (cough syrup). 8. If I do not feel better, then I resort to antibiotics. 9. Practice Namasmaran so that the undue apprehension of cough and cold on mind can be avoided.
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 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 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!
