With the right perspective of not worshipping or despising the media, one can appreciate its capabilities and help it develop for the betterment of society. The document recommends the practice of NAMASMARAN for inner empowerment to have the right view of the media.

OF
MEDIA

2. Life is tremendously influenced
through print, electronic and
various other forms of media; by
many individuals and
organizations to serve their
purpose. Sometimes this influence
has been beneficial and sometimes
harmful.
If the media assume excessive
importance in your life, then the
media can prejudice you in one
way or another. It can stupefy you
with illusions of utopian heavens
or dread of unrealistic hells!

3. This is why sometimes the media
appear to be the heroes of the
spiritual renaissance and other
times they appear to be villains of
destruction!
The media people and their
beneficiaries try to project and
market themselves as all powerful
heroes of all times! Even the so
called intellectual and spiritual
leaders (because of their inherent
weakness) are subdued by media!
You have to understand that the
media have to serve you and not

4. dictate! Then only it is possible to
allocate the right position to media
which they deserve. By doing this
you can (without worshipping and
without despising) appreciate the
innate marvels of media (which
are lost in superficiality and
pettiness) and help them blossom
along with the whole world!
For this inner empowerment of
yours; you require to practice
NAMASMARAN. You need not
believe but you may try and
verify!
