3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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!
7. 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
8. 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
9. a super-bounty because a person who
experiences it, rises above mercenary,
commercial and even professional and
charity planes and manifest 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 b experienced, most preferably, by
billions!
