The only way; is to evolve and implement holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs; in all the fields, at all the levels and in all the situations. This is possible; if we immunize and detoxify ourselves; with the most effective vaccine and antidote; the NAMASMARAN! This would deter us from promoting stress; and enable us to promote holistic health!

2. Some days we feel overtly stressed! We feel low. We feel
helpless.
Given that the other things are fine, what is the reason for
this?
If we stop for a while and look into ourselves to find out where
exactly this lowliness has crept in our mind from; then often
we can trace its source in the comments by family members,
neighbors, friends, colleagues, newspapers etc. but most
frequently in the contents of advertisements.
With the mind boggling mixing frames, captivating
photographic tricks, stupefying music, mesmerizing glamour,
thrilling stunts, tempting information, loud and aggressively
coaxing message coated in enticing body exposure; the
advertisements have an impressive audiovisual impact.
What is the impact? How does it cause the stress of lowliness?
The impact is; “We are deficient, pitiable and miserable,
backward, stupid, imperfect, inadequate, impotent, unsatisfied,
unhappy, low, unsuccessful, and at high risk; without the
product or service; promoted in the advertisement”.
Thus knowingly or unknowingly; we start craving for ‘success
toys’, ‘success chocolates’, ‘champion biscuits’, ‘style statement
cold drinks’, ‘success foods’, ‘macho underwear’,

3. ‘glamour/beauty soap’, ‘romantic toothpastes’ and so on! We
begin to knowingly or unknowingly feel lowly, deprived and
hence stressed!
If we buy some of these we are sickeningly proud and arrogant.
If we cannot, then we are sickeningly meek and pitiable. In any
case we suffer perennially and transmit it; to our family,
friends and others.
This stress is further compounded by misinformation about
ghee, coconut oil, un-iodized salt, Bengal gram and many other
naturally occurring products and germs, apart from many
other products and services.
This is the modern form of what has been referred to as
MAYA for millennia! Hence no one escapes the stress; not even
the STRESS PROMOTERS themselves!
Hence; ideally; there ought to be implementation of holistic
perspective, policies, plans and programs; at all the levels and
situations; to rectify this STRESS PROMOTION. But at our
own levels we can immunize and detoxify ourselves from such
stress; with the most effective vaccine and antidote; the
practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN!
