For healthcare organizations, attracting and supporting ethnic markets has quickly transformed from an “add on consideration” to a powerful consumer group and strategic piece of the business model. The success of President Obama’s broad-based and extremely diverse campaign tells us that the tipping point in our culture has already happened. What is necessary to harness the power of today’s ethnic market? Short of having a dedicated ethnic marketing group, how can you incorporate best practices to your existing marketing infrastructure to ensure that your brand and content resonate across cultures?

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. Saving Energy
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar
Well thought out and intelligent energy
saving can not only be useful to the
economy and environment but the Welfare
of World i.e. Holistic Health!
Some measures I can think of are as follows:
1. Switch off the mains while leaving the
house as sometimes accidents also occur due
3. to electric iron, geyser etc in spite of auto
stop arrangements.
2. Switch off the computers when leaving the
working place so that radiation dose
also can be beneficially reduced.
3. Switch off the television sets and neon
signs in public places as they can
distract the drivers and cause accidents.
4. Switch off the AC in cars and other places
when not required as extra use of AC can
cause head ache, sinusitis, cold and lung
infections.
4. 5. Switch off the water coolers as extra cold
water can cause upper respiratory tract
infections and digestive disturbances and
arthritis.
6. Use staircase in stead of elevators. This can
reduce the chances of infections
in closed chamber of the elevator and
improve the health due to natural
cardiovascular workout!
7. Walk to your office or for errands and get
healthier by this simple exercise. This would
save fuel and in turn electricity.
5. Walking can be combined with
NAMASMARAN so that you blossom from
within!
BUT WHAT IS NAMASMARAN?
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
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
6. fact while reorienting with true self you aim
to 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 of YOGA in the sense that it is the
culmination of consciousness associated with
7. every possible procedure and technique in
the yoga that you are familiar with. It is the
YOGA 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
8. persistent practice of NAMSMARAN and
not blindly believed or blindly disbelieved
with casual approach!
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 and
has to b experienced, most preferably, by
billions!
9. 8. Understand that this energy saving is not
restricting your freedom! In fact, this is a
way to be fair to yourself, the nature and rest
of the world.
9. Do not get obsessed by the thought of
saving but discuss, generate new ideas and
popularize them for saving electricity and
promoting your and others’ health and
welfare of the world!
