1. The document discusses the concepts of equality and complementarity, arguing that while equality has been an important governance principle, complementarity is also necessary for proper governance and growth.
2. It states that an overemphasis on superficial equality can restrict human interaction and growth if it is not balanced with an appreciation of individual differences and complementarity.
3. Namasmaran, or the remembrance of God, gurus or other spiritual figures, is presented as a way to establish connection between one's physiological self and true self, and as a path to unify individual and cosmic consciousness.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. Even as the slogan of “equality” has
stayed in the forefront for centuries the
governance; and not merely governance
but immaculate and impeccable
governance of the universe is not merely
by equality but by complementarities.
The deep involvement in equality is
actually due to egalitarian feeling that
every one should get food, shelter and
other pleasures of life. This feeling is due
to high emotional quotient of some people
who are charged with oneness with the
millions others!
But this sublime emotion if not enriched
by the wisdom of appreciation of the
complementarities, then it becomes naïve
and restrictive. It becomes a theoretical
shackle that hampers the growth and
3. blossoming human interrelationships and
interactions!
If you are sensitive then you may spend
your lifetime in struggling for equality
and if you are insensitive then you may
spend your life time in imposing
exploitative inequality.
It is necessary to understand that broad
equality or rather commonality amongst
various species including human beings
and hence their consideration for
equitable distribution of resources is
important and magnanimous. But
insistence of mere superficial or external
aspects equality in terms of similar food,
similar clothes, similar houses, and similar
behavior is fanatic! Such fanatics throttle
the blossoming and inner growth of
mankind (and even other species)! This is
4. because; the spirit of equality embodies
freedom of growth and blossoming of
everyone, which gets jeopardized by
insistence of superficial or external aspects
of equality! See how in the following
instances insistence of superficial or
external aspects of equality would do
harm and gross injustice. You would all
agree that, an infant without teeth should
get milk or other liquids, a grown up
person with good teeth should get food
that can chewed and eaten and an old
person with dentures should get food that
could be easily chewed with dentures. The
children should get toys and blessings,
grown up people should get scope for
fulfilling their creativity and productivity
according to their aptitudes and elderly
should get should get rest, respect and
opportunity to pamper and bless the
youngsters! An ailing individual should
5. get care and a healer should get freedom
to deliver the care! A mother should get
the freedom to breast feed and a new born
to suckle!
The carefully developed international laws
and conventions, national constitutions
and local laws/rules; based on this
perspective; can totally manage the global
STRESS i.e. intellectual, emotional,
instinctual and physical chaos and cruelty
and create an environment conducive to
blossoming of one and all! Hence this is
called Total Stress Management and the
minimum common program or common
royal pathway or core of this Total Stress
Management is the practice of
NAMASMARAN by billions!
BUT WHAT IS NAMASMARAN?
6. (The following explanation is given by Dr.
Shriniwas Kashalikar in response to a
clarification sought by Dr. Suhas Mhetre; for
the benefit all those, who are not conversant
with the concept and practice of
NAMASMMRAN)
Namasmaran means; remembering the name of
God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and
holy objects such as planets and stars. It may
be remembered silently, loudly, along with
music, dance, along with breathing, in group or
alone, either with counting by rosary (called
SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without
counting. The traditions vary from region to
region and from religion to religion.
However the universal principle underlying
NAMASMARAN is to reorient your
physiological being with your true self. In fact
while reorienting with true self you aim to
7. establish and strengthen the bond or
connection; between; your physiological being;
with your true self. You aim at reunification
with yourself!
Since remembering your true self is the
pinnacle of or culmination of individual
consciousness, and individual consciousness is
the culmination of every activity in life,
remembering any name of God or Guru (any
symbol of your true self) is equivalent to
opening the final common pathway for the
individual consciousness associated with every
possible activity to get funneled into or unified
with objective or cosmic consciousness.
Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the YOGA
YOGA of YOGA in the sense that it is the
culmination of consciousness associated with
every possible procedure and technique in the
yoga that you are familiar with. It is the YOGA
8. of YOGA because it is the culmination of
consciousness associated with all the activities
in the universe, which it encompasses as well! It
is YOGA of YOGA because everybody in the
world irrespective of his/her tradition and the
beliefs; would eventually, ultimately and
naturally reach it it in the process of liberation.
Even so called non believers also would not
“miss” the “benefit of remembering the true
self through one symbol or another”!
Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA it
is meditation of meditation also! It is the
natural and ultimate climax of every form of
meditation.
These facts however have to be realized with
persistent practice of NAMSMARAN and not
blindly believed or blindly disbelieved with
casual approach!
9. In short NAMSMARAN is super-bounty of
cosmic consciousness for every individual to
realize it (cosmic consciousness)! This is truly a
super-bounty because a person, who
experiences it, rises above mercenary,
commercial and even professional and charity
planes and manifest super-transactions in his
or her life!
These are just few observations to give rough
idea about what is NAMASMARAN.
NAMASMARAN is an ocean of bliss. Its true
meaning is beyond description in words.
