I am away from holistic health. But like any ailing doctor; I too can prescribe this “key instruction” to the doctors, parents, teachers, leaders; (to add in their prescriptions) and make their prescriptions; to their patients, children, students and followers; respectively; holistic! In fact; being able to pass on this “key instruction”; is the greatest blessing and bounty!

2. As we go on evolving; we begin to appreciate that a doctor’s
prescription has to be aimed at healing; the body, instincts,
emotions, motivations, thoughts, vision and behavior of an
individual; and also the society.
This is because; just as the health of an individual affects the
health of society; the vice versa is also true. Not only the
international, national, regional and local policies, plans and
programs in health care (which obviously influence the health
of an individual); but also; those in different fields; such as
education, agriculture, industry; influence the health of an
individual.
Hence ideally; the prescription should include guidelines;
about the preventive and curative measures; to the patient who
himself may be a doctor or a policy maker in health care or
other fields.
However; all the details of such guidelines cannot be expected
from the treating doctor, who is trained merely in a particular
field of medicine such as Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Ayurveda
or Allopathy.
In such a situation; there has to be a “key instruction” that can
“inspire” the appropriate guidelines in the patient, who may be
a policy maker of; education, practice, research, production
and marketing; in health care; and those in other fields).
The essential core of such key instruction has to be; its
potential to “free” any individual; from subjective and
sectarian perspective, thinking, policy making, planning and
behavior; and empower him or her; to be objective and holistic

3. and conceive the appropriate preventive and curative
measures.
After decades of extensive study, research and experimentation
for such a “key instruction”, which would be common to all
prescriptions and making them holistic; I found one to my
satisfaction with the grace of my Guru. This “key instruction”,
which is upheld by my Guru throughout His life; is nothing
else; but the traditional, simple, inexpensive and universally
practicable practice of NAMASMARAN (JIKRA, JAAP, JAP,
SIMARAN, SUMIRAN or remembering God’s name i.e. one's
true self)!
NAMASMARAN rectifies our physical needs, passions,
feelings, motivations, thoughts; and vision (perspective) and
thus rectifies our behavior. This in turn leads to a continuous
development of holistic health, which means; prosperity and
profundity in individual and social life i.e. individual and
global blossoming.
However; NAMASMARAN is not a pill or a tincture; and does
not produce any tangible results! It is an invisible and
intangible process of reaching and rejuvenating our connection
with the seed (NAMA); of the tree (our individual and
universal existence); and flowering and fruiting (the individual
and universal blossoming).
I am away from holistic health. But like any ailing doctor; I too
can prescribe this “key instruction” to the doctors, parents,
teachers, leaders; (to add in their prescriptions) and make
their prescriptions; to their patients, children, students and
