But those; working towards the welfare of mankind; seem to lack this force, fervor, frenzy, courage of conviction, unity and dedication. They hesitate to spend even pittance and take even minor most risk! Can NAMASMARAN consolidate, boost, and empower us; to work with force, courage, conviction, unity and dedication; towards; blossoming of one and all; so that we can conquer the STRESS of sectarian bigotry and fanaticism? We have to verify by practice!
2. Today is the birth anniversary (celebrated as YOUTH DAY in
India) of Swami Vivekananda.
Swami Vivekananda inspired several generations in the world, to
serve the mankind selflessly. The dedicated followers of Swami
Vivekananda in Ramakrishna Mission are active in such selfless
service all over the world.
Is it not essential for all of us to get inspired by this monumental
contribution?
Is it not imperative that we evolve holistic approach in every field
of life and blossom from within and also catalyze the blossoming
of the global society?
But what can be done for bringing about holistic perspective,
policies, plans, programs and their implementation; and realize
holistic renaissance as envisaged by every sage and saint
including Swami Vivekananda?
Today the minimum common program acceptable to all races
and religions of the universe is NAMASMARAN, which does not
impose any prerequisite of any belief, and hence could be
practiced by an agnostic or an atheist as well! We should not
however; impose, force, pressurize, beg, coax, persuade, urge or
even request; any one to practice NAMASMARAN as a matter of
obligation!
3. It is true that the day to day problems such as scarcity of water,
electricity, fertilizers etc. would be not be “directly” solved by
NAMASMARAN. But it would evolve us from our subjectivity
and pettiness; coming in the way of solving the problems and
thereby; enlighten and empower us to solve them holistically.
