The document discusses the importance of NAMASMARAN, which it describes as the life of life in the individual and cosmos. It states that a lack of NAMASMARAN leads to self-betrayal, torture, deception, degradation, debility, unawareness, contempt, and destruction. The document emphasizes that NAMASMARAN should be the top priority in life and is the core that everything revolves around. It further shares the perspective of Brahmachaitanya Shri Gondavalekar Maharaj, who advised caring for NAMA even more than life and assured that cosmic consciousness would always be there for those in NAMASMARAN.

2. It could be true that the path of
fulfillment, liberation, emancipation,
NIRVANA, SAMADHI, MOKSHA etc
may vary in different individuals
according to their constitutions, their
beliefs, their religions, their upbringing,
their socioeconomic and political
conditions and so on! The other
environmental factors also could
influence.
But just as one can not stop sharing some
delicious dish or some superb movie
with close friends, I can not resist the
urge to share my impressions (how much
ever they may appear ridiculous or even
worst to some one) about
NAMASMARAN! I would like to
clarify that I have learnt about
NAMASMARAN from the incarnations
of cosmic consciousness; belonging to

3. various regions and various religious; as
well unreligious backgrounds; in the
world. After critical study and analysis
about various permutations and
combinations in terms of pros and cons;
and practice of NAMSMARAN over
decades (though may not be adequate
enough); I think I can share my
impressions with reasonable confidence
and conviction. To sum up in brief:
NAMSMARAN is the life of life in
individual and cosmos!
Amnesia, forgetfulness or lack of
NAMASMARAN embodies:
ATMADROHA i.e. self betrayal,
ATMAKLESHA i.e. self torture,
ATMAVANCHANA i.e. self deception,

4. ATMABHRASHTATA i.e. self
degradation,
ATMAKSHEENATA i.e. self
debility,
ATMAGLANI i.e. self
unawareness,
ATMAGHRUNA i.e. self contempt,
and
ATMAHATYA i.e. self destruction
Even as I had written about
NAMASMARAN with utopian and
simplistic view point that;
NAMASMARAN would lead to global
perspective, globally beneficial policies,
globally beneficial motivation and
globally beneficial instinctual fervor,
now I feel that NAMSMARAN is the
way and means; and NAMASMARAN
is the destination and culmination!

5. NAMASMARAN itself is the core;
around which everything revolves!
Lie is lifeless without NAMSMARAN!
(The world famous NAMAVATAR i.e.
incarnation of NAMA i.e. OMKAR i.e.
the first explicit form of cosmic
consciousness; Brahmachaitanya Shri
Gondavalekar Maharaj from Gondavale
near Satara in Maharashtra state in India
made the fact clear that
NAMASMARAN has to be the top most
priority in life. He advised us to care for
NAMA even more than our life! Further;
he assured us that he (cosmic
consciousness) would always be there
with us (and realizable to us when we are
in NAMASMARAN)).
