The document discusses the negative impacts of excessive private vehicle production and use, and suppression of public transportation. It argues that regularly remembering God through practices like chanting can help policymakers pursue more sustainable transportation policies that prevent suffering. Specifically, it lists 14 ways that an overabundance of private vehicles leads to problems like traffic congestion, increased fuel consumption and pollution, road accidents, noise pollution, and disrupted emergency services.
1. EXAMPLE DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
EXAMPLE OF SATSANKALP, SADVASANA,
SADBHAVANA, SADVICHAR AND
SATPRERANA (ASPIRATIONS, PASSIONS,
FEELINGS, THOUGHTS/POLICIES, AND
PERSPECTIVE/MOTIVATION) OF AND
FROM; TRUTH; THROUGH NAMASMARAN
(JAAP, JAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN etc;
i.e. remembering God):
The policy of excessive production and marketing
(and passively buying and using) of cars and two
wheelers (for the affluent few) and suppression of
the production buses, trams, trains and other
modes of public/mass transport; can be reversed
by policy makers, whose mind has undergone
purification through NAMASMARAN; and
suffering of billions in many ways given below;
can be prevented and/or shunned.
1. Excessive increase in number of vehicles on
roads that leads to congestion and load on traffic
police
2. Increase in fuel consumption, chemical
pollution and import expenses; leading to increase
of fuel prices and subsequent increase in the food
prices and unbearable load on the farmers living
2. in villages, where electricity is barely available for
few hours. Thus the farmer community which is
the heart of society becomes sick and moribund!
This alarms real danger!
3. Increase in wear and tear of roads increases.
Consequently there is increase in accidents due
bad condition of roads as well as increase in the
maintenance expenses and disturbance and delay
to smooth traffic
4. Increase in noise pollution results due to;
blowing of horns; which is especially troublesome;
to hospitals, schools, and other places; where
silence is essential.
5. Increase in traffic jams adding to further
increase in fuel consumption and wastage of time,
disastrously affecting the performance and/or
productivity of the people of different occupations.
6. Increase in the number of vehicular accidents is
largely contributed by simply the huge and
increasing number of vehicles on road apart from
other factors
7. Increase in vehicular exhaust causing global
warming
8. Excess of load; on local trains and other means
of public transport [where ever available] and
consequent accidents, quarrels and mishaps
9. Overall increase in tardiness in the traffic and
increase in anxiety and tension, further increasing
3. the quarrels, traffic crimes the number and
severity of accidents and difficulty in providing
medical aid (and disaster management) and other
emergency services; due to difficulty in movement
of ambulances and fire fighters.
10. The eco-friendly bicycles production and sale
suffers due to “imposing and threatening”
presence of cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, scooters
etc.
11. Excessive production of vehicles; is associated
with; unproductive and wasteful work; such as
insurance, registration and traffic policing!
12. Increase (due to difficulty in enforcing law and
order) riots, thefts etc due to slowing of police
movement
13. Excessive production of un-degradable solid
waste
14. The need and construction of excessively wide
and cement or asphalt roads at the cost of
irreplaceable trees (extremely important for
avoiding global warming, pollution, rain and
organic manure) and open earth surface
(extremely important and vital for absorbing and
holding rain water) and unnecessary disruption of
the natural habitat of the animals.
