I can increase the inner strength (and satisfaction); only by conquering (through holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and their implementation); all the STRESSORS simultaneously! This is Total Stress Management or superliving (the core of which is NAMASMARAN) and is like oxygen. Can I be cynical and escapist about breathing oxygen?

2. Some say that if an individual improves then gradually
the family, the society and the whole universe would
improve. Hence individual purification is most
important.
Some others say that if we improve the system, then
automatically the whole universe, mankind, society and
the individual would improve. Hence the purification of
the system is most important.
This is really a tug of war!
The individual can be “purified” if the system improves;
because he/she lives within the system and in accordance
with the system. Conversely the system has would get
“purified”, only if the individuals controlling the system;
are “purified”.
Infinite purification or shall we say blossoming; of an
individual in spite of the system is theoretically possible
but only in exceptional individuals. Conversely;

3. purification of a system irrespective of the individuals; is
theoretically possible only if there is an exceptionally
rare leadership at the helm of the affairs.
Since these are remote possibilities; today the pursuit of
individual blossoming has to be combined with universal
blossoming through simultaneous process of individual
and systemic purification; or shall we say rectification.
Thus we have to set the goal of immortal bliss for an
individual on the one hand; and simultaneously make
policies, plans and programs so as to fulfill all the
physiological needs of all the age groups, races and
religions; throughout the day, seasons and life!
This is called total stress management, total well being,
holistic health, superliving or holistic renaissance. This
simultaneous process of individual and universal
blossoming can be realized by helping ourselves and the
others; to orient to the true selves. This is akin to; the
focus of all the instrumentalists and vocalists; on the

4. master of orchestra; where soul stirring harmony,
melody and rhythm; are produced!
We can help ourselves and the others to such orientation
to the true selves; through the practice and propagation
of NAMASMARAN. In absence of this; the individual
emancipation is bound to remain a self deception; and
the universal welfare; an unending mirage!
