Violence and Nonviolence have to be understood properly.

1. species such mankind from epidemics and pandemics, killing to protect oneself from death and disease, killing to eat and survive, killing to prepare utilities such as warm clothes to survie, killing to extract medicinal material, killing to prepare delicacies for gustatory pleasure (pampering one's taste), killing to prepare fashionable items for showcasing or show off and killing just for the sake of killing (and brutal gratification) are different.KILLING <br />Killing is not a homogenous phenomenon. Killing of different species such as viruses, ricketssiae, fungi, protozoa, mosquitoes, cockroaches, hens, cocks, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, buffalos, monkeys and human beings is not the same thing. Killing to protect a species such mankind from epidemics and pandemics, killing to protect oneself from death and disease, killing to eat and survive, killing to prepare utilities such as warm clothes to survive, killing to extract medicinal material, killing to prepare delicacies for gustatory pleasure (pampering one's taste), killing to prepare fashionable items for showcasing, or show off, killing for petty personal gains; and killing just for the sake of killing (and brutal gratification) are different.<br />INDISCRIMINATE KILLING AND INDISCRIMINATE OPPOSITON TO IT<br />These are like short circuiting. They manifest through an individual due to inappropriate communication through nerve impulses (energy flow); from and towards the brain.<br />These usually result from extreme subjective and subcortical responses. <br />Indiscriminate violence towards others or towards self is counterproductive and detrimental to; inner and outer; and individual and global blossoming.<br />Indiscriminate nonviolence e.g. not killing the mosquitoes, virulent bacteria, rabid dogs etc. is equally counterproductive and hindrance to inner and outer prosperity and profundity.<br />Therefore, “indiscriminate violence and nonviolence” in the form of impulsive or planned activity (perspective, policy, program); by individuals, groups or governments; is neither conducive nor justifiable, for the welfare of a person or mankind.<br />The globally benevolent perceptions, emotions, passions, instincts and personal and social actions are (should be) aimed at rectification of impulsive, mean, cruel or stupid and hence “indiscriminate violent or nonviolent” concepts and practices (by gullible kindness and cunning wickedness); counterproductive and hazardous to human progress.<br />Thus “indiscriminate violence” in the form of exploitation, repression, fanaticism, terrorism, cheating and torture in more than one way; of innocent people; and the massive propaganda of the “indiscriminate nonviolence”; go on incessantly and hand in hand by practitioners of indiscriminate violence! They are inappropriately and suicidally supported by genuinely kind but unwise proponents of “indiscriminate nonviolence” who unknowingly accept and subject themselves to indiscriminate violence!<br />Thus “indiscriminate violence” multiplies exponentially because “justifiable and essential therapeutic violence” against such “indiscriminate violence”; is paralyzed by the hypocritical preaching or gullible propaganda of “indiscriminate nonviolence” by the practitioners of “indiscriminate violence” and some well meaning but naïve supporters of “indiscriminate nonviolence” respectively!!<br />It is important to understand urgently that “destruction of diseased cells benefits the diseased patient for recovery to health and hence the global conscience must rise against concepts and practices of “indiscriminate violence” and “indiscriminate nonviolence” (harmful to blossoming of mankind). It is urgent to employ wherever necessary, “a well meaning globally beneficial, surgically skilled, appropriate, disciplinary, corrective and “nonviolent violence” to effectively and rapidly curb the indiscriminate violence and indiscriminate nonviolence towards self and others by state agencies and non state entities.<br />This is essential for creating a world where even this sort of “therapeutic and nonviolent violence”; also would not be required.<br />NAMASMARAN enable us to acquire this enlightened wisdom and overcome indiscriminate, unwise, unjust and suicidal conception and practice of violence and nonviolence!<br />VIOLENCE AND GITA<br />The use of the word “UDDHA” i.e. war has lead to many misconceptions about Gita. One of them is that; She advocates violence.<br />It is because of our intellectual, conceptual and emotional bankruptcy that we are unable to understand the meaning of “death” is forgetting one’s self; and any activity in personal and social life conducive to such forgetting of one’s true self, is violence and ADHARMA.<br />The word “PRANASHYATI” is used in 6th chapter, 9th chapter and also 18th chapter to clearly indicate that forgetting one’s self is death.<br />True violence is intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical action conducive to forgetting oneself, which involves “forgetting” one’s father, mother, brother, sister, teacher, friend, society and so on. This; as everyone knows; is associated with overtly mean, individualistic and ungrateful behavior which is violence!<br />Gita asks us to remember and focus on our true self so that our behavior remains oriented to self realization. This is called YOGA in Gita and is called ANUSANDHAN in other spiritual parlance.<br />This focusing and remaining oriented is not easy. There are many detractors within and outside forcing oneself and the others to forget the true self (violence and ADHARMA), which come in the way of self realization; and consequent socially beneficial behavior!<br />Gita advocates participating in the war against such violence and ADHARMA.<br />Namasmaran reorients us to our true selves and empowers us to fulfill our role in any given situation in an accurate and satisfactory manner i.e. to defeat violence and ADHARMA and promote DHARMA. This is called DHARMYA YUDDHA (not DHARMA UDDHA) in Gita. <br />
