The Core Of Sex Dr Shriniwas KashalikarBadar Daimi

In human beings, sexual attraction becomes associated with romance, commitment, and appreciation of responsible sexual activities between partners. At the core of sex is finding the core of one's partner, which is a difficult but worthwhile goal that can transcend physical considerations and culminate in a super-romance aiming for global welfare.
N E G A T I N G N A M A S M A R A N D RBadar Daimi
The document discusses the author's changing views on namasmaran (remembrance of God). Initially, the author saw namasmaran as an "escapism" that made people indifferent to social problems. However, over time and through various experiences, the author became intellectually convinced that namasmaran could transform people and lead to "individual and global blossoming" by cultivating a beneficial perspective. Still, the author acknowledges they have no proof that namasmaran causes these effects or is connected to cosmic consciousness. All experiences with namasmaran are personal and cannot be proven or objectively communicated to others.
What Is Anusandhan Dr. Shriniwas KashalikarBadar Daimi

Dharma And Cosmic Dynamics Dr. Shriniwas KashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the relationship between microcosmic and macrocosmic phenomena in the universe and how human perception and cognition create a sense of separation from nature. It argues that struggles in human behavior and society arise from this perceived separation. Dharma represents emulating the orchestral workings of the universe by accurately identifying and performing one's role. Practicing namasmarn, or remembrance of the divine, can help individuals blossom into a state of objective existence merged with nature's core and free from subjective differences, realizing Dharma.

The Competition Act 2002 provides for prohibition of abuse of dominant position. However, the provisions of unfair trade practices earlier covered by the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969,are not covered under the competition law. The apparent effect of the two being quite similar, there is a considerable possibility that a situation very close to unfair trade practices may be held to be an abuse of dominant position. The difference being very close, the article looks at the penalty handed out to DLF Ltd for abuse of dominant position from this perspective.
Know Difference between Fake / Genuine Zippo LightersWe Get Personal
Zippo lighters date back to 1932 and are recognizable for their trademark design and quality. However, many fake imitations exist both online and offline due to Zippo's popularity. There are several ways to determine if a Zippo lighter is authentic, including checking for the bottom stamp with serial number and place of manufacture, ensuring the hinge stops at a 45 degree angle rather than laying flat, and listening for the distinctive sound made when opening the lid. Authentic Zippos also come with a lifetime warranty and are only available from authorized retailers.

Sedjwick Joseph, the Chief Risk Officer of Habib Bank AG Zurich, discusses the changing risk landscape for banks. He notes that while some emerging markets are growing faster, there is also higher volatility and risk. The global economy faces constraints on central bank options and low interest rates that can create asset bubbles. Banks now deal with a multitude of interconnected risks across credit, market, operational, liquidity and more. Effective risk management requires moving from traditional siloed approaches to enterprise-wide risk management that considers both historical and potential future risks. The role of the CRO is also expanding from just downside risk mitigation to include managing uncertainty and opportunities.
Yoga Karma And Namasmaran Dr. Shriniwas KashalikarBadar Daimi
Nishkama karma, or action without attachment to results, is a concept in the Bhagavad Gita. While it seems impossible to act without thinking of results, subtle actions like thinking and feelings cannot be defined by their physical causes and effects. As actions evolve, they become less crude and more cosmic in nature, with results that cannot be quantified. The highest form of action is namasmāran, or remembering God, as it merges subjectivity and objectivity such that ownership of actions and results ceases. Namasmāran is widely practiced in religions and can help emancipate oneself and others.

Morgan Chase can adapt to changes in banking technology through a SWOT analysis and recommendations. It hypothesizes that technological advancements will harm large banks like J.P. Morgan Chase if they do not embrace changes in how consumers use technology for banking.

Stress religion and rationality dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the relationship between rationality, religion, and defining what is "good". It argues that science and technology focus only on solving physical problems and increasing comfort, but do not address deeper human values. Religions try to answer this but cannot provide perfect guidance. Rationalists and religious people also struggle to understand each other due to differences in how the brain processes information. A holistic approach is needed that uses both rational and religious thinking to define "good" in a way that rejuvenates and inspires people. Repeating names of God (Namasmarn) is presented as one technique that can achieve this holistic perspective.
Stress phala and maya dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses the causes of stress. It states that one of the major causes is the inability to cope with the results or fruits of our actions, as our actions are associated with feelings. Failure can hurt our intellectual esteem, concerns, or honor. We feel hurt not just by criticism of our beliefs and loved ones, but even criticism of pets or possessions. Anticipated results like money, honor or awards are associated with our pride, so not achieving them causes feelings of insult, humiliation or dejection. Thus, poverty, disease or loss alone do not cause pain or misery - the insult of failure and feeling unworthy or sinful is a major cause of agony. Detachment from the results or fruits
Stress and acting dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the importance of remembering God's name (Namasmarn) for managing stress and blossoming individually and globally. It argues that talking, writing, and promoting Namasmarn is urgent to counteract the influence of acting in films, politics, and everyday life that distracts and intoxicates people. Regular practice of Namasmarn can help realize self and ensure clear consensus on universal welfare issues without compromising regional diversity.
Stress and law dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses stress management and laws. It states that stress is a natural part of life but must be properly managed. It has been managed for millennia through traditions, rules and regulations, but these have limitations. True stress management can be achieved through self-realization and merging with cosmic consciousness. This can be achieved through the practice of NAMASMARAN. The document argues that laws governing various areas like education, health, agriculture should promote self-realization and blossoming, and dispel destructive forces.
Punishment and prayashchitta dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
Punishment is judgmental and can include legal and non-legal forms, while sins stem from incorrect perception, feelings, and intentions, manifesting as errors, mistakes, misdeeds, and crimes that harm oneself or others. Prayashchitta refers to any action that awakens one to realize the Truth, which is a state of bright, buoyant bliss from feeling universally connected, united, and benevolent. Repeating devotional mantras helps awaken one to realize the Truth.
Stress and politics dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the role of philanthropists in politics and how their involvement can help promote individual and global well-being. It argues that philanthropists who participate in policymaking can help address public welfare issues. The document also outlines several proposals for how society could be restructured to promote holistic health, such as incorporating spiritual practices into all aspects of life, replacing examinations with skills assessments, and encouraging eco-friendly transportation. The overall goal is to evolve policies and systems that nurture well-being and cooperation between all people and religions on a global scale.
Stress of a mission dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the concept of NAMASMARAN, which is described as an activity that springs directly from and merges directly into absolute cosmic consciousness. NAMASMARAN provides a fulfillment that is impossible to achieve through other human endeavors like art, science, business or material achievements. Practicing NAMASMARAN takes one beyond stress and gives solace, dignity, security, fulfillment and empowerment to enjoy one's mission in life regardless of external factors.
Stress spiritualism and materialism dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses the shortcomings of both spiritualism and materialism in managing stress. Spiritual discourses on TV promise emancipation but are individualistic, utopian, and escapist, cutting people off from reality and aggravating rather than relaxing stress. Material efforts take fragmented approaches and offer superficial solutions that do not address root problems or satisfy one's soul. Neither extreme asceticism nor indulgence can offer holistic stress management for individuals and society. True spiritualism and materialism that ensure total stress management spring from remembrance of the divine name as explained in the author's books.
Stress and time dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarBadar Daimi
Stress and lack of time can prevent us from spiritual growth and realizing our cosmic nature. When we are not living in cosmic consciousness, we focus only on worldly concerns and are unable to see the global awakening of consciousness. Regular namasmarnan, or remembrance of the divine, allows us to see individual and global progress towards greater unity and participate in plans that foster global prosperity.
Stress and respect dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarBadar Daimi
Stress and inner turmoil can arise from both inner and outer influences, compelling us to respond. However, regularly practicing NAMASMARAN (remembrance of the divine) can help overcome these influences by opening our "inner eyes of wisdom" to recognize higher values of enlightenment. Without this practice, we risk being misled by superficial or harmful outer forces and values that take us away from our true selves and spread confusion. NAMASMARAN helps unite us globally by focusing on our shared higher source and allowing consensus on important issues.
Unconditoned happiness dr. shriniwas k ashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses the state of unconditioned happiness exemplified by saints. It summarizes that this state is not one of depression, surrender, or indifference, but rather a "trans-physical, trans-physiological and trans-psychological" state where one has risen above perceptions and influences of the senses, endocrine and nervous systems. In this state, individuals appear unaffected by situations but can still interact and manifest wisdom in various subtle forms, including through scriptures or actions. Unconditioned happiness is a hallmark of evolved consciousness, not indolence or ignorance.
Soliloquy of a media person dr shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
An honest media person would acknowledge that while the media is meant to report facts and realities, it can be influenced by temptations, vested interests, and petty politics. Media personalities are exposed to glamour and power that can mislead them and cause them to lose sight of blossoming humanity. However, remembering one's true self through namasmarn, or reflection, can protect media workers from delusions and allow them to fulfill their role of envisioning a better future despite challenges.
The document discusses the possible role of NAMASMARAN (remembrance of the divine name) in total stress management. It hypothesizes that through the regular practice of NAMASMARAN, one can ascend from their petty self to their cosmic self. This would help overcome the entanglement of the petty self, which can lead to tamasic (destructive), rajasic (selfish), or satvic (harmless but insufficient) activities. The document concludes that greater practice of NAMASMARAN by more people could help achieve the merger with the cosmic self and rectify issues arising from tamasic, rajasic, and satvic tendencies, thus achieving total stress management.
Stress and true self dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the concepts of individual self and true self. The individual self is defined by physical and mental experiences that are limited by individual physiology. The true self exists beyond these limitations and dimensions. Through the regular practice of NAMASMARAN (remembrance of the divine name), the veils of the individual self are lifted and the universal true self is revealed. When the true self surfaces, one's cognition, emotions, and behaviors transcend individual limits and become aligned with the universal whole. The realization of the true self allows one to work towards cosmic homeostasis from a holistic, universal perspective.
Stress and brahma dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
This document discusses the misconception of thinking "I am Brahma" without also recognizing one's responsibilities to society. It argues that while on a spiritual level we are all Brahma, we must also acknowledge our human aspects of having a body, mind, and place within society. True spiritualism requires both inner reflection through practices like Namasmaran as well as active participation in society through pursuing one's duties. Only by gradually transcending our human limitations through such practices can we reach a state of truly being Brahma without merely declaring it.
Stress god and we dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of concepts like "God" and "I am Brahma" which can lead to inaction, helplessness, and false beliefs. It states that God is an internal experience of self-realization, not something to be believed in externally. Repeating God's name (Namasmarn) empowers people to be self-sufficient by helping them connect to their true self and gain a holistic perspective that appreciates the varying needs of individuals and societies.
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar was born in 1951 in Maharashtra, India. He received his medical education from BJ Medical College in Pune. Along with his brothers, he established a hospital in the remote village of Adeli, where he worked for three years. He then furthered his studies in philosophy and science at GS Medical College in Mumbai, earning an MD in human physiology. While working there, he also helped slum dwellers, mill workers, and visually impaired people. He has written over 40 books in Marathi, English, and Hindi on various subjects related to medicine, spirituality, and social issues. Currently, he focuses on interdisciplinary research in total stress management.
The fetters and the freedom dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
It explains that Namasmaran helps to reconnect one's true self by focusing individual consciousness on a symbol of the cosmic consciousness. This practice can help overcome mediocrity in society and rise above worldly concerns. While the details must be experienced personally, Namasmaran is described as a path to realizing one's highest potential and experiencing spiritual bliss.
Stress and revolution dr. shriniwas kashalikarBadar Daimi
The document discusses the concept of revolution. It states that as individual and social development progresses, concepts like "god", "freedom", and "revolution" change meanings. Individual pursuits and social struggles revolve around goals like survival, procreation, establishing supremacy, or defending one's group. Methods of revolution range from violence to non-violence and education. The culmination is a sense of global unity and holistic policies that allow individuals to connect to a cosmic consciousness.

The author has doubts about NAMASMARAN (remembering the name of God) to a diminishing extent. While convinced it is the fundamental solution, the author is not completely satisfied unless it leads to beneficial social and political change. The author believes true personal liberation cannot exist without social revolution. Doubt remains as global problems persist and signs of change through NAMASMARAN have not manifested fully in beneficial policies across all fields. The author advocates for NAMASMARAN and subsequent globally beneficial programs and policies implemented by leaders and followed by people.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

I salute my Guru, who is Brahma, Vishnu and
Mahesh called Gunamaya i.e. the penultimate
truth; and the Parabrahma; i.e. the ultimate
truth.
It gives me great pleasure to share these experiences and
perceptions of my study of Bhagavad Gita. Obviously;
this is neither a translation nor a commentary. I may not
call this an interpretation also. This is simply, a sharing
of my experiences and perceptions of Bhagavad Gita!
For the sake of simplicity, henceforth I am going to refer
her as Gita.
It was in early childhood that I used to hear some
chapters such as 15th; being recited by my brothers and
sister.
During our school days I remember to have learnt some
shlokas from Gita Dhyana and some shlokas from Gita
proper. But I don’t remember the details.
After this brief encounter, all that I heard during my
medical college days, from leftist friends was not in
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
4. 4
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
favor of Gita. But what I heard from many others was
high acclaim for Gita.
But somehow I was involved in many things other than
Gita and probably kept on groping in the dark for quite
some time. May be, this was because study of Gita did
not seem to have application in medical profession or
social development; or because study of Gita wasn’t
thought very important by leaders in different fields.
Most importantly, study of Gita was not promoted
enough by the local, municipal, state and central
governments; in India; to attract majority of people and
especially young minds! Study of Gita was not
associated with any apparent or tempting incentive!
I must appreciate however; that there have been many
voluntary groups trying to spread the study and message
of Gita all over the world, even though I had not come in
their contact or influenced by their activity!
But after coming to Mumbai, flame of curiosity was
ignited and interest in Gita was aroused, probably
because I had begun to revisit the Vishnusahasranam and
Namasmaran, or may be because I was becoming
increasingly aware of my inadequacies.
Apparently it was also because; I wanted to study
something world famous and ultimate in every sense; so
as to boost my ego! Hence I began the study of Gita.
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
5. 5
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
But now it appears that there was much more to it than
this. Whether I studied Gita or Gita herself made me
study her, s a moot question and I feel; the latter may be
truer.
When I seriously began to study Gita; about twenty years
ago, I found many contradictions in her.
For example, in 4th chapter, Lord Krishna says in the
same verse, (Chaturvarnayam maya srustam…) that
he created four VARNAS and also; he did not create
them! Also, even as Lord Krishna advocates the war
(Tasmat uttishtha Kaunteya yuddhaya kruta
nishchaya…2nd chapter, nirashi nirmamo bhootva
yuddhaya kruta nishchaya… 3rd chapter,
Yadahankarmashritya na yotsya iti…..18th chapter),
he also upholds nonviolence and control of mind in most
of the chapters e.g. (Ahimsa satyamakrodham.. 16th
chapter, Moodhagrahenamatnoyat …17th chapter, )
as a virtue.
Similarly, Lord Krishna disapproves Arjuna’s arguments
in 1st chapter about VARNA SANKAR, which means
indisciplined and unrestricted marriages directed by mere
attraction; in different groups, (Ashochyanaiva
shochastvam prajnya vadanscha bhashase.. .2nd
chapter) he uses the same argument (Yadi hyaham na
varteyam …and utside yurime lokam… 3rd chapter).
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
6. 6
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
In 2nd chapter his argument (Akeertin cha pi
bhootani…, Bhayat ranat uparatam…, Awacchya
vadanscha
bahoon…. etc) about “what people would say”, appears
to be too superficial and not enlightening or
philosophical (Please refer; page 121).
One can quote many such contradictions and
uninteresting arguments as examples; but that is not the
purpose of this writing. The purpose of this writing is; to
share my amazing experiences and exciting changes in
my perceptions of Gita and myself; as I went on studying
Gita, inspite of the contradictions and uninteresting
arguments!
Why did I continue my study of Gita inspite of the
contradictions and uninteresting arguments? Why did I
go ahead even further to byheart her?
The reason why I kept on studying and by hearting Gita
in spite of the contradictions was; I sensed that there was
something in Gita, which I was not able perceive. This
sensing of something; which I was not able to perceive,
kept on haunting me. I sensed that it was so precious that
I could not resist myself! This was like searching of
secret treasure; inspite of difficulties and dangers! That
sensation of something imperceptible in Gita kept on
propelling me from within also! It was as if I was
possessed by this sensation in and out!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
7. 7
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
In addition, I realized that I needed to correlate the
shlokas or verses in different chapters so as to extract
deeper meaning. This required; that I remembered the
verses from different chapters, so as to contemplate on
the vast canvas
of all 700 verses at any given point of time. This was the
only way to possibly resolve the contradictions; even
while traveling or walking and without having to refer a
book! So I started the uphill task of by hearting Gita even
I do not have very good memory!
But frankly speaking, even as I am giving these
apparently logical explanations, I had not quite
understood why I kept on reciting and by hearting Gita,
obsessively inspite of the contradictions!
It appears now, that Gita herself consumed my
consciousness, without me being aware of it and kept on
absorbing; my being in her!
Another reason for the persistence; (inspite of pains and
agonies of frequent and serious disagreements); which
was beyond my desire or voluntary will, may be that;
study of Gita has the roots in my previous birth. This
study may be a continuation of what was left half way; in
the last birth!
You may believe and appreciate this or discard as a flight
of imagination! I leave it to your own perceptions and
experiences!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

But life actually encompasses the births and deaths and
hence called ANUBANDHA and NITYAGA i.e. linked
up and continuous! The continuity is evident in such
phenomena.
In the process of studying Gita; the thought to share my
understanding used be very predominant. This may be a
reaction of the excitement I derived from time to time
from Gita or it may be because I thought; I have
something to offer to the society! For this reason; I had
tried to write on Gita about ten to twelve years back, but
later I stopped halfway; as I was not quite satisfied and
was not at ease; with my own interpretations, contentions
and explanations, which appeared circular to me!
Not that I am sharing now, because I can claim to have
understood Gita completely, but because, I am convinced
that Gita enlightens us for the journey; that starts with
ignorance, individuality; and timed mortal existence; and
heads towards the destinations of self realization;
universality and trans-temporal immortal consciousness;
respectively!
At this juncture I see; that Gita deals with; 1) Molecular
activities 2) Individual activities including various
physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual activities
3) The relationship of these with the society and universe
and 4) The relationship of all these with past, present and
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
9. 9
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
future; and the all encompassing cosmic consciousness
i.e. the nature of our cosmic being.
Gita deals with the principles involved in what happens
in a molecule, in a cell, in an individual, in a society, and
in universe, every moment; and from all eternity to all
eternity. Gita deals with; not the drudgery of
enumeration
and description of irrelevant peripheral details, but with
the intricate principles involved in the intermolecular
interactions to inter-moment interactions, interpersonal
interactions, international interactions and interactions at
all the levels of consciousness. This may be termed
cosmic dynamics or cosmic orchestra; including the role
of an individual blossoming in it!
I have realized that I may not understand Gita, I may
misunderstand Gita or I may partially understand Gita. In
any case it is useful; because; with the study of Gita,
there starts the exciting voyage of enlightenment and
blossoming!
Complete understanding of Gita is impossible, because it
is trans-intellectual i.e. beyond the three levels of
consciousness (SWPANA, SUSHUPTI and JAGRUTI,
i.e. dream, sleep and wakefulness respectively) and four
modes of communication (VAACHA) viz. PARA,
PASHYANTI, MADHYAMA and VAIKHARI, i.e.
roughly speaking; communication from the root of one’s
existence without articulation(umbilical area), the
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
10. 10
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
primitive instincts communication (precoridal area),
autonomic nervous system and neuroendocrine system
(throat) and communication as articulated and spoken
through central nervous activity (tongue, lips, palate etc)
respectively. These modes of communication seem to
express different levels of genuinity and varying distance
from the objective truth.
However, even if I don’t understand Gita, due to above
reason; I have the freedom and opportunity to keep on
studying Gita and merge with cosmic consciousness to
the extent possible! I have the freedom to be empowered
in the course of time; sufficient enough to relinquish at
appropriate time; “my” then redundant; intellectual,
instinctual, emotional and instinctual frameworks,
material possessions and my body, happily and
victoriously! This is akin to a blossoming flower; that
emanates its pleasant fragrance (without reservations and
any kind of pain or discomfort whatsoever) or a ripe fruit
that drops from the tree!
Now before I go ahead, I must state here, that
NAMASMARAN enabled the much necessary inner
propulsion for continued study and “understanding” Gita
to the extent possible; and Gita provided the paradigm
shift and strong and stabilizing conceptual foundation
that made it possible to adhere to apparently meaningless
and unglamorous activity of NAMASMARAN! But
most importantly it is the cosmic consciousness (Guru)
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

that has made all this; i.e. study of Gita,
Vishnusahasranam and NAMASMARAN possible!
I am glad that it has been uploaded for free download
and is being shared with millions, WITHOUT the delay
caused by various formalities involved in printing,
publishing transportation, shipment, marketing of hard
copies (paper editions) due to several factors such as
motivation, interest, involvement of the printers,
publishers and the people
involved in marketing and sale; of hard copies,! I am also
glad that this electronic publication is independent of any
influence of sympathetic charity, donations, sponsorship.
This is what I call the grace of God or the benevolence
of the cosmic consciusness!
In as much as I don’t want to keep any copyrights; so
that anybody in the world; could utilize these shared
perceptions freely, I would also like to clarify that;
just as well meaning use of these would aid in
imminent universal blossoming; the plagiarism of this
material in any form with vested interests and
mercenary motives; would prove detrimental to the
plagiarists and their readers; and hence to everyone.

Amidst the cacophony of needs, wants, passions,
infatuations, goals, dreams and aspirations, which I was
conscious of, there was; in addition; an inexplicable and
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
12. 12
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
subconscious undercurrent that seemed to give
incomprehensible twists and turns to my life; often
beyond my tolerance and forbearance, stirring me from
deep within! Added to all this was; the challenge of study
of Gita!
But even as it appeared to create turmoil within my
intellectual and emotional framework; I could not get rid
of it, till today, due to the possible reasons mentioned
earlier!
It is just in recent times that I have started appreciating
that Gita has the nectar of immortality that is beyond
individual consciousness. But till recently; I felt that Gita
(who kills one’s subjectivity), imparted a dying
experience! This is why at earlier stages I felt it was
terribly frightening to study and internalize Gita! But
even then, Gita immersed me in herself!
In past, I used to sometimes worship Gita and sometimes
contradict her; without seriously studying! I often merely
used some quotations from Gita for proving my point
and to impress the audience and feel good with myself.
During my study in college and medical college I used
get enamored by unusual terminology and bombastic
uncommon words and feel elated. Many a times quoting
Gita, added to this elation!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
13. 13
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
But now I know that I was merely; getting enamored or
repulsed by experiencing the periphery; similar to
enjoying or hating the fruit by tasting its skin!
In India, Gita is recited, chanted, by hearted by many.
Earlier I thought this was stupidity or slavish mentality.
At times I thought this was blind belief. But today I
confess frankly that I was more immature at that time,
than what I am today! Today as a student of physiology
for over 30 years, I feel that Gita can especially benefit
all the children in the world to develop and tone up their
central nervous system (including the speech areas and
speech articulation
with biomedical feedback) and enhance their evolution
during this life! This is true not merely for a child but for
any and every person of any age in the world. This is true
even if Gita is by hearted without understanding the
intricacies, which one can appreciate at a later stage of
development!
As a student of physiology, I am also sure that; by
hearting of certain facts, meaningful hymns,
philosophical or scientific sutras (e.g. those from
Ayurveda, Gita, and Arithmetic), without questioning;
lets the child build; the edifice of knowledge and then
work on it. Up to a certain age there is no capacity in us
to analyze and comprehend certain aspects of life and
hence insistence on clarification should not be
encouraged as it can act as hindrance in the learning. In
fact by hearting even if the child did not understand the
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
14. 14
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
meaning is as essential; as feeding the baby, even if it did
not understand the nutritive principles in that food!
While studying Gita I realized that questions themselves
should not be discouraged, but encouraged, but it must
also be clear that all questions may not be answered
and if answered, the answers may not be understood.
Hence insistence on clarification; as a precondition to
by hearting; should not be encouraged.
Another point in learning Gita is; an approach with
humility and patience. They are very important.
Besides, hidden meanings are not understood by casual
reading and/or egocentric approach under the spell of
egalitarian, utopian or any such philosophical thought.
Moreover; Gita can not be appreciated if we are already
prejudiced by individualistic trends or socialistic
dogmas; hidden under the guise of analytical fervor and/
or scientific temper.
Patience (which is born from honesty, commitment and
readiness to go beyond individual subjectivity and
paradigms of every kind sometimes called SHRADDHA)
opens the doors to enlightenment and blossoming at
individual and global levels!
Now I realize that study of Gita can empower a serious
student of Gita to live with unconditioned acceptance,
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
15. 15
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
love and respect for every moment and situation, and
work in consonance with nature; to one’s complete
fulfillment and greatest satisfaction.
Gita enables one to blossom in such a way, that
subjectivity gets shed off smoothly; while global unity
and harmony begin to pulsate in one’s heart!
It is worthwhile to share with you here; that today I feel
that; opportunity to study Gita is a one of the greatest
treasure in my life for me.
November 4, 2009
9:45 pm.
During my first few years of study of Namasmaran,
Vishnusahasranama and Gita, I was instinctively or
intuitively convinced that the essence of these teachings
was not at all in opposition to the idea of social justice
and material abundance; explicit in socialistic and leftist
way of thinking. I felt strongly; that inequality and
exploitation were aberrations; and in no way; teachings
of Gita, Vishnusahasranam and NAMASMARAN (as
sometimes thought even by me). I sensed the essence of
Gita and Vishnusahasranam and the NAMASMARAN
embodied the spirit; unifying the essence of the leftists,
rightists, believers, nonbelievers and all others!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
16. 16
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
When it became clear that being not equal can mean;
merely being different and complementary (and not
necessarily unequal in the sense of constituting
antagonistic relationship of exploiter and exploited); I
took it upon myself to clarify the essence to myself
further and share it with others. Because I had in myself,
all the elements; (like in the outside society) which were
overwhelmed by superficiality, pettiness, prejudice and
ideological adamancy.
Hence I was possessed by only one question: How to see
more clearly and then show that essence of Gita,
Vishnusahasranam and NAMASMARAN is the key to
blossoming of all, irrespective of their identity viz.
atheist, leftists, Hindus, non-Hindus, and others
belonging to different cultural and socioeconomic
groups?
I had sensed, as mentioned earlier, that Gita,
Vishnusahasranam and NAMASMARAN had the best
from capitalist or individualistic doctrines in terms of
individual blossoming and the best of Marxist, leftist,
socialist or communist doctrines in terms of global
blossoming and welfare of all; and unite all streams in
the society!
So, from this point of view, I wrote my comments or
interpretations on Gita and Vishnusahasranam and
Namasmaran, so as to highlight the innate unity and
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
17. 17
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
bring everyone together, irrespective caste, creed,
religion and even socioeconomic group!
But as the time passed, I started realizing that even
though my efforts were honest (according to me), they
were subjective and incomplete. They did not convey
absolute or objective truth and hence, did not match the
demands of the time! But having not understood this
enigma; I was really frustrated. I didn’t quite understand
the subtle difference between subjective and objective
perspectives. I was unable to see how my efforts;
admired by most readers; could apparently make no
impact (in terms of socio cultural and politico economic
conditions, to my satisfaction) on myself
and the society!
In spite of my frustration, I still felt quite strongly that
the convictions if real; then must blossom the universe in
every possible way at some point of time. So I was not
too much vagrant or did not go too astray!
Gradually I began to realize that, even as my conviction
was correct according to me, it was useless and/or
counterproductive to simply despise my own short
comings! This amounted to being suicidal, i.e. violent to
me!
It was also inappropriate to hate the shortcomings of the
others. Because, that is being in a subtle way, violent to
others! Thus, I stopped despising what ever was being
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
18. 18
NEW STUDY OF BHAGAVAD GITA
marketed under the guise of spiritualism, socialism and
other brands!
I realized that there was no sense in getting frustrated,
feeling guilty, accepting defeat or blaming the so called
“spiritual” or so called “revolutionary” activities of
theists, spiritualists, atheists, leftists, secular and other
activists and theoreticians (of which I was also a part at
one point). I also found no sense in feeling sad about the
misinterpretations of Gita, Vishnusahasranam and
NAMASMARAN by their worshippers and
misinterpretations of Gita, Vishnusahasranam and
NAMASMARAN by their detractors (because I was a
party to this also!).
I realized that, what is required, is blossoming together
and empowering one another; through the study and
practice of Gita, Vishnusahasranam and
NAMASMARAN respectively.
I thought this would assist us to grow from within and
actualize intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical
actions; in terms of globally nurturing policy making,
planning, administration and implementation and
engender individual and global blossoming!
