The document discusses holistic management of global recession through spiritual practices like Namasmaran. It argues that current economic growth is unsustainable as it is based on superficial wants instead of needs and leads to increasing inequality. Namasmaran, which means remembering the name of God, is presented as a spiritual practice that can help establish harmony within individuals and society by reconnecting one to their true self. If practiced widely, it could help manage global recession by shifting focus from wastefulness to productivity and fostering a global perspective.
3. The root cause of global recession is the
individualistic and tubular perspective in
different fields, which leads to sectarian and
mutually antagonistic “development”. This
“development” embodies; actually;
multiplication and cancerous growth of
vested interests, petty pursuits and
retrogressive destructive forces in politics,
economics, environment etc. It cancerous
because it behaves just like cancer, which
grows at the cost of trillions of normal body
cells!
4. In present conditions; the production and
the capital investment required; revolves
around unproductive glamour, wasteful
glitter, petty luxuriousness, cheap
entertainment and mean achievements;
born out of petty perspective. As a result of
petty perspective they are glorified by most
major players of mass communication!
This is followed by the marketing of
counterproductive commodities and
services, promoted through mutually
exploitative marketing; mostly opposing
interests of even one another! Hence the
industrial growth rather being conducive to
5. holistic health, races towards mutual decay
and soon slows down. To protect the vested
interests of the small section from this
process public funds are pumped in and the
potential customers are further restricted!
Everyone of us; being vulnerable and weak;
due to the stupefying influence of totally
deceptive glorification of petty and
superficial glamour and glitter; gets
tempted and driven by the lust for mere
personal financial profits (oblivious to the
fact that such profits turn against their own
sublime nature)! Hence the economy booms
for some time due to frantic investments
6. and begins to collapse as the number of
consumers keeps reducing to due to
deprivation of billions, whose buying power
gets desiccated/atrophied! This is why the
share prices begin to dwindle.
Since the money pumped in these
businesses, whether by governments or
investors’, is essentially peoples’ money
[which would have been potentially be
useful for the global development] the
common people all over the world suffer
maximum, the investors suffer to some
extent; because they still have buffering
7. power and the business houses with much
greater buffering power; suffer least!
Hence to manage global recession;
1. The children have to be introduced to
the measures of inner blossoming, such
as hymns, prayers and
NAMASMARAN right from the
beginning.
2. The productive domain must be
nurtured and the epidemic of dreadful
disease of wasteful learning of
unproductive activities must be
checked on war footing urgently and
seriously.
8. 3. The agricultural, horticultural and
medicinal herb production must be
endowed with proper incentive.
4. The production of gas, petrol and
diesel driven private vehicles must be
drastically reduced. The production of
number of trains and buses has to be
increased according to the needs.
5. These are broad outlines and directions.
The details can be worked out by
experts in the different fields; with
global perspective.
6. For having global perspective and
overcoming sectarian bias; practice of
measures to grow and blossom from
within i.e. a mega process of spiritual
9. renaissance i.e. NAMSMARAN by
billions of people all over the world; is
urgently required.
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
10. 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
11. 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
12. 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 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!
