Corrupt Perspective Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
The document discusses the corruption of perspective and how it occurs. It states that as the space of one's consciousness becomes more restricted, one's perspective becomes more deteriorated and separated from nature, religions, and even family. This corruption of perspective is subtle and often goes unnoticed. It can make one's thoughts, feelings, and actions increasingly mean, lonely, weak, and selfish, which harms both oneself and society. Namasmaran, or remembrance of the divine name, can break open the shackles restricting one's consciousness and effectively treat the corruption of perspective, which is the root of all misery in the universe.

Concept Of Holistic Medicine Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
1) Holistic medicine emerges from the realization that different medical disciplines are interconnected rather than separate. It views the human body and health in a unified, comprehensive way.
2) Those who integrate or advocate for dialogue between different medical disciplines fit within the holistic approach. Those who rigidly adhere only to one discipline and oppose dialogue between disciplines take a narrow view.
3) Holistic medicine is trans-disciplinary, seeking to understand health and healing from many perspectives rather than one single approach. It aims to comprehend the relationships between concepts from different medical traditions.

Dr. Kashalikar discusses his approach to studying the Bhagavad Gita. He writes daily about concepts from the Gita rather than strictly following the chapters sequentially.

It shows the ultimate goal, the path, and method to achieve self-realization through dharma rather than suppression or indulgence. Studying the Gita elevates one from subjectivity to objectivity and changes one's status from being effected to being causative.

Meaning : I salute Sun (Divakara) who is red like hibiscus, who is
born in kashyap family (pedigree), who is very bright and enemy of
darkness and who destroys all sins.
Essencs : The nine 'grahes' are not merely plantes or stars in
physical sense. they are the power underlying the physical existence
not merely nine but all the planets and stars in whole of the Universe.
Here the word sun represents the source of not merely physical
energy for photosynthesis by plants or heat but it indicates source of
consciousness for the entire universe. As we rise in consciousness we
7. tend to falter less and commit less mistakes and sins ( all the deeds
conducive to deterioration of holistic health) and vice versa. Hence
here the Sun is referred to as destroyer of sins. The sun is bright
and hence enemy of darkness not merely in physical sense but in
terms of being enemy of the darikness of ignorance.
This prayer should prove useful to overcome slumber, inertia
and inectivity. It should prove useful to overcome depression and

10. Meaning : I salute Moon. who is beautiful and radiant like curd, counch
and dew-drops, who is born from the ocean of milk, who adoms the
sign of rabbit and who beautifies the crown of Lord Shiva.
Essence : The beautiful description of Moon is actually aimed to indicate
that principle which is like the mind of the universal being or cosmic
being. The cosmic mind is said to murture the plants (medicinal). this
seems to be healing qualities imparted by it to the plants. Mind as a
healer is well known all over the world.
When we think of Moon principle at individual level, the three
characteristics viz, being born in ocean of milk, having rabbit patch
and beautifying the crown of Shiva all appear related to central nerous
system, The mind is born from the well spread out white nerous
system (ocean of milk) with gray matter (rabbit like dark patch) and
the mind when clean really beautifies the crown of shive or Self in the
individual.
This prayer should strengthen the weak and fragile mind and fragile mind
and emppower one to fight the difficult situation and conquer them.

Meaning : I salute young Mars who is born form the womb of earth, has
the bright like that of the lightening and who has strong arms.
Essence : According to Indian Astrology Mars represents the cosmic
principle of firec and os supposed to be the causal for bravery, indusrtiaus-
ness, dynamism, cataclysms, wild fires, epidemics, riots, cyclones and
wars. The prayer is intended to regulate the fire principle and channelize
it in constructive direction. This is akin to what is as RAJA principle.
This prayer is likely to help all the condition which lower the metabolism
and make the body slow, lethargic and weak. It can help activate all
organs of the body by providing enrergy. Moreover, it is likely to control
exicitement, anger and hyper activity of body systems.

Meaning : I salute the genius Jupiter who is the teacher of deities
and rishis, who is golden in complexion amd who is master of all three
planes of existence.
Essence : This prayer is apparently offered to the genius of an
indiviodual which governs all the centers in the brain and thereby govern
all three levels of consciousness viz. dream, sleep and wakefulness.
The golden complexion seems to indicate the trascendental light that
governs every activity. This could also be representing reticular system
in central nervous system, which determines the activity of all centers
in brain.

Meaning : I salute Venus who is radiant like the srems of jasmine and
snow, who is the best teacher of jasmine and snow is the best teacher
of devils and who explains the discourses of science.
Essance : This prayer offered to Venus seems to indicate the principle
responsible for systematic governance of passions and instricts in nature.
The sexual and physical vigor, which can be devilish are apparently
governed by this principle for the benefit of universe. Struturally this
may represent limbic system in brain.
This prayer apperrs to result in invigoration, buoyancy, love and
perpetuation of life and universe.

Meaning : I salute stable Saturn who has dark aura, who is the el-
der brother of Yama and who is born from Sun and his "shaddow" viz.
Chaayaa.
Essence :This prayer offered to saturn appears to be a prayer to
the deity (cosmic principle) of stability. If inadvertently expressed it can
retard the progress. If appropriately expressed it can prevent abnormal
and haphzard movement (going astrey and getting misled). The expresion
21. "Elder brother of Yama" seems to indicate the importance of stability in
coordination of regulation of life & death represented by the principle or
deity Yama. The expression "Son of Sun" seema to indicate that it has
the power of light (activity) and darkness (inactivity) knowledge and
ignorance. It may represent limits of growth, constancy of bioelectric
potentials, negative feed back mechanisms in body.

Meaning : I salute the mighty and brave Rahu, who has half body,
who harasses even moon and sun who is born from the womb of
simhikaa.
Essence : The prayer is offered to Rahu. Rahu is a point in space and
time and when the orbit of Moon crosses that of the earth while Moon
is passing from south to north of the equator of Earth.
The Universe is full of wonders. The varity of entities (and deities)
contribute to the panorama or orchestrta in the cosmos. What appear to
be nagative and bad are also part of this orchestra. Hence for universal
welfare prayer is offered to Rahu.
24. In mytology Rahu is said to be the son of Viprachitee and Simhika.
These appear to be the symbols of two orbits the crossing of which
produces Rahu so they may represent psychic forces responsible for
mental clouding. Thus from individual’s point of view Rahu appears
to represent those point in space and time when an individual suffers
from mental clolouding, confusion, amnesia and which can create a
picture of being possessed by a ghost.
However sleep, forgetfulnesss in appropriate limits promote health.
Thus Rahu is said to be beneficial except in cetain circumstances,
constellation (place in birth chart).

Meaning : I salute ketu who is red like the flower of parrot tree
and who is like summit or pinnacle of stars and planets and who is
fearsome.
Essence : This prayer is offered to Ketu. Ketu is the point where the
orbit of Moon crosses that of Earth. This point is where Moon crosses
equator of earth from north to south.
The Ketu appears to be principle of violence in nature/universe.
The word Rudra connotes destruction. In universal as well as individual
life destruction and violence are dreaded by most people. However
violence & destruction are inseparable from the orchestra of universal
events and individual life and when approprite they constitute essential
and individual life and when appropriate they constitute essential
and healht promoting aspect of life. One can find many processes
of destruction described in the book of Embryology, Anatomy and
Physiology.
Hence it is more than appropriate to offer prayer to Ketu the
regulator of violence in nature & individual life.

Meaning : Here ends the prayer. One who recites / studies this
prayer composed by shri Vyaasa the great rishi either at day or at night
with composed & balanced mind, gets freed of all calamities.
Essence : The prayer of nine planets and stars actually helps one
to explore one's true self and also thereby get access to all hitherto
unavailable energies / powers which are symbolised as deities, with
differsnt forms.
30. Meaning : Men, women and rulers will get incomparable
prosperity, health and empowerment and their bad dreams (thoughts)
will be destroyed.
Essence : the prayer of all planets & strars will result into
prosperity, health and power. By virtue of destruction of bad dreams,
bad thoughts all kinds of meanness would disappear.
32. Meaning : The trouble from thieves, fire (etc) resuting due to
ill influences (wrath) of planets and stars are nullified as is said by
Vyaasa rishi which is no doubt, infallible and true.
Essence : Thus Vyaasa rishi declares the truth that (due to
chanting, studying of these prayers) all planetary wrath and ca-
lamities resuting from them disappear.
