Holistic Education, Economy And Health Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar

Yoga Karma And Namasmaran Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
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.

New Study Of Gita Nov 8 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
This document summarizes Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar's study of the Bhagavad Gita. It discusses the differences between sanyasa and yoga and their relevance to common people. Sanyasa refers to renunciation of worldly activities while yoga refers to participation in daily life through one's duties. The Gita reconciles these concepts by saying renunciation is coupled with involvement at different life stages. The document also examines various practical expressions of swadharma, or one's duties, that are useful for individual blossoming, such as working without attachment to results. It explores the social and policy implications of applying the teachings of the Gita.
New Study Of Gita Nov 7 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar discusses his new study of the Bhagavad Gita. He summarizes Lord Krishna's teachings about swadharma (inherent duty) to Arjuna. Krishna explains that swadharma leads to union with the cosmic consciousness and is more important than material or spiritual achievements. Living without action is impossible, and one must perform one's swadharma, even in the face of death, for individual and social blossoming. Krishna also reveals his immortal nature and different manifestations of consciousness in individuals and society through the chaturvarna system. He urges Arjuna to follow swadharma single-mindedly.
New Study Of Gita Nov 4 Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
This document summarizes Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar's experiences studying the Bhagavad Gita. It describes how he was initially drawn to study the Gita out of curiosity. Though he found some contradictions, he felt compelled to continue studying and eventually memorize the entire text. Namasmaran (repetition of names of God) helped sustain his study. Over time, his understanding deepened and he realized that fully comprehending the Gita is impossible but that ongoing study provides an opportunity for spiritual enlightenment. He now feels called to share his insights with others.

Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar shares his experiences studying the Bhagavad Gita over 20 years. As a child, he was exposed to some chapters but it was not until later in life that he seriously studied the text. He was drawn to study it despite some contradictions in the scripture. Through dedicated study and memorization of the Gita's 700 verses, he gained a deeper understanding of its universal principles. He realizes that fully comprehending the Gita is impossible but that studying it is useful for spiritual enlightenment and merging with cosmic consciousness.
New Study Of Gita Dec 01 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
This document discusses the author's past dislike of the Bhagavad Gita and how their views have changed over time. In the past, the author saw the Gita as promoting escapism from social problems. However, through studying the Gita more, experiencing social service, and reflecting on their experiences, the author came to see the Gita as something that can evolve individuals and society by developing objective perspective. The author also came to understand concepts in the Gita like shraddha differently from how they once viewed them. They now see the Gita as a universally beneficial manifestation of cosmic consciousness regardless of its origins.
New Study Of Gita Nov 25 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar discusses additional insights from Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita. He notes that Lord Krishna expresses concern for common people who follow reputed individuals. However, Krishna also implies that in any system, the higher or regulating centers must behave according to cosmic consciousness in order for the whole to function properly. This applies to individuals, societies, and human bodies. Leaders must follow their duties to guide society harmoniously, and higher functions in the body must be balanced for overall health. Karma and bandha mukti relate to freeing consciousness from physical and mental influences by anchoring to the divine name through remembrance and merging with cosmic consciousness as represented by Lord Krish

Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar discusses the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in a lengthy document. Some key points discussed include:
1) The Gita provides a vision of universal unity and harmony and frees individuals from various characteristics, attitudes and beliefs.
2) The Gita's teachings about satva, rajas and tamas qualities can be seen in people all over the world and influence the blossoming, functioning and degradation of the world.
3) Following one's dharma or duties without expectations of rewards is seen as the ultimate teaching, while distraction from one's true self leads to ignorance and problems.
New Study Of Gita Nov 12 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
The document discusses several key ideas from the Bhagavad Gita. It explains that the Gita does not aim to create an ideal or permanent society, as all things in the universe are constantly changing. It also discusses how individuals develop motivations and aims from complex biochemical and karmic factors, not fully of their own volition. The Gita teaches one to perform their duties without attachment to results or expectations. It notes how the Gita's wisdom manifests in different individuals over time to enlighten society.
New Study Of Gita Nov 10 Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
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. This allows him to emphasize important points through repetition and additional perspectives over time. The Gita teaches that the greatest skill is realizing yoga, or union with the divine. 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.

Spiritualism Materialism And Namasmaran Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikarbmkandalkar
1. The document discusses spiritualism versus materialism and how places of worship have become focused on trivial material gains rather than spiritual enlightenment.
2. It argues that the split between spiritualism and materialism has led to an overemphasis on hollow materialism and unjustified spiritual escapism.
3. The author proposes that namasmarn, or remembrance of the divine name, is the solution as it empowers people to explore dharma and reestablish harmony in society through individual and global blossoming.
Shri Laxmi Narayan Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
The document describes the author's childhood visits to the Laxmi Narayan temple in Walaval, India. As a child, the author enjoyed the scenic drive through green areas and small shops selling snacks and tea. The centuries-old temple and nearby lake made strong impressions. As an adult, the author's beliefs drifted after learning Marxist analysis but they have since realized the importance of family deities in guiding individuals towards cosmic consciousness from a young age in a gentle way through participation in worship and customs. Visiting the Laxmi Narayan temple continues to be a rejuvenating reminder of this guidance.
Family Deity (Kuladevata) Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikarbmkandalkar
This document discusses the author's childhood experiences visiting the Laxmi-Narayan temple in Walaval, India. As a child, the author found the temple and surrounding area pleasant, with its red brick roads, tea shops, and the temple itself overseeing a lake. However, later in life the author was drawn to Marxist analysis and felt the family deity seemed redundant. But now the author believes the family deity concept helps introduce individuals to cosmic consciousness and plays an important role in personal and social development. The temple in Walaval overlooking the scenic landscape remains the author's family deity.
The document describes the author's fond childhood memories of visiting the town of Walaval, including traveling there in a hired van, the narrow red brick roads lined with small shops and houses with tile roofs, and the centuries-old Laxmi-Narayan temple by a lake. As a child, the author had beliefs shaped by their family deity Dev Narayan but later encountered Marxist analysis of society, which caused their beliefs to drift. Now, the author sees the importance of family deities as part of the individual's journey towards cosmic consciousness.

The author believes family deities introduce children to spiritual concepts and help guide them towards truth and blossoming throughout life.
The document discusses issues with modern temples, including traffic, dirtiness, beggars, corruption, and interference from politics and criminal elements. As a result, temples have become centers of escapism cut off from society rather than excellence. Most temples are now economically dependent on others and celebrations have become means for extortion and politics. However, the document argues that regular practice of chanting names (Namasmarn) can help rectify issues by rejuvenating temples to support activities like agriculture, education, health, and more beneficial functions for individuals and society.
Fame can give a temporary sense of pride but also leads to depression when it fades. True happiness comes from within through practices like NAMASMARAN, which is very personal but causes one's personality to blossom universally. NAMASMARAN invigorates and rejuvenates billions for millennia, making one buoyant and fulfilled independently of outside inputs.

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

In 5th chapter there is reference to 9 doors of the body. This
concept is well known. But is this true for females?
It has to be noted, that in females there are 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2
nostrils, 1 mouth, 1 urinary opening 1 anal opening (9)
doors but there is also 1 more door and that is genital
opening viz. vagina, making 10 ‘doors’ to female body.
I feel that questioning an authority is not insulting the
authority, but showing confidence that you would be heard,
attended to and responded to; properly. Not raising doubts
is like being closed and already prejudiced that if you
question; the authority would feel offended, insulted and or
may not be able to answer!
This point is minor one; with respect to anatomy, but
initially I was feeling inhibited to raise it, because of the
popular contention that scriptures should never be doubted.
Later I realized that by raising doubts; we do not reduce the
importance of Gita; but show that inspite of doubts in terms
of minutia, the essence of Gita takes us from our subjective
frame of mind; to the objective and cosmic consciousness!
One point from 2nd chapter is about the description of the
deterioration (DHYAYATO VISHAYAN….) of an
individual due to entrapment in the dragging instinctual
forces.
4. I feel that as the feeling of attraction about opposite sex is
natural, hatred of it is not advocated in Gita. What is
highlighted is; how by focusing exclusively on the innate
core of one’s self e.g. through NNAMASMARAN, one
experiences the sublimation of most desires; especially the
sexual desire into sublime and respectful love! Hatred
about or slavery of instincts; such as sexual attraction; are
not conducive to individual and global blossoming! They
can not give warmth of romance or any other bond
involved in different relationships.
On the contrary, when we evolve from within; we do not
hate the opposite sex. We do not become bitter. We
experience and enjoy the sublime attraction in opposite sex
and not obscene carnal cravings. This is probably the basis
of worshipping feminine and masculine principles in the
nature, i.e. Goddess and God and not merely (male) god by
males and (female) goddess by females!
This holds true for all other instincts and desires and that is
exactly what is; the hallmark of the imminent global
culture.
I feel this point is extremely important for a person like me,
who is often afraid of a state of desirelessness, which is
dreadfully similar to total void or actually death. Hence I
reiterate that in the course of evolution our subjective
desires sublimate or culminate into cosmic or objective
desire/s and do not vanish. They vanish only as subjective
or petty preoccupations or obsessions. They vanish as
fanatic and exploitative compulsions. Thus Gita makes us
5. free and not hollow or empty! This is what makes us
fearless and buoyant! This positive content of Gita is
extremely reassuring and rejuvenating. It ensures
emergence of objective, cosmic and immortal love in the
feeble, fragile and frail body that we have! This is how we
realize our immortality; and that of; the self realized seers;
of the past!
How to reconcile the utopia of better world?
When I was charged with the idea of a better world, I used
feel totally upset, disturbed, agitated and at times
disheartened and depressed by any argument opposite to it
or negating it! Hence initially Gita used to depress me
tremendously because except the last verse of Gita, there is
not even an indirect indication or assurance of a better
world in Gita. On the contrary she seemed to be revolving
around the life and death and individual emancipation.
To accept that you have to follow your SWADHARMA
and not expect a global change was extremely painful and
appeared to be irrational, unrealistic, pessimistic,
deterministic, fatalistic and so disheartening and
depressing.
Now; even when it is becoming clear that it was the cosmic
consciousness that manifested in the conceptual form of the
goal of global blossoming (though; partially and/or
ambiguously; due to the constitutional limitations); in my
mind; it has been painful to give up that utopia of global
wellbeing, because, without it; the life has appeared
6. meaningless, purposeless, hopeless and dead! I have felt
impotent and helpless by the philosophy of detachment!
Gradually I have started realizing that this is not the
message of Gita! In stead; Gita reassures that my core is
immortal and that it is one with the spirit of Gita and hence,
would keep on manifesting from time to time through this
individual or that. Thus Gita gives full stop to the fear of
dying without accomplishing my dream and assures that the
global blossoming though not exactly as per my
specification; would continue from time to time and )!
Gita teaches us that, the world would continue to have
resurgence of cosmic consciousness and enlightenment and
the necessary and appropriate rectification!
Hence Gita teaches that I have; the freedom and privilege
to practice; the SWADHARMA with total involvement,
which ensures moment to moment ecstasy, that does not
depend on fruit! The universe is going to continue with its
characteristics and this enlightenment springing from Gita;
would also keep resurfacing from time to time through
generations! I am learning to free myself from the visible
changes (which are never permanent and hence deceptive)
of individual and global blossoming. I am beginning to
understand and experience my role, without unrealistic
optimism or pessimism due the inner assurance of eternal
continuity and periodic manifestation of universal
consciousness (and my spirit)!
7. SWADHARMA is neither a utopia that aims at visible
changes in the conditions of the people, nor is it shackled
by the pursuits; restricted to (visible benefits) in the
individual conditions! Neither it is pessimistic nor is it
optimistic. It is unconditionally victorious!
I have realized that even though I could once get elated; by
the idea of “working for the others” or “serving the
mankind”, I could never get the fulfillment or peace in it,
which I have started experiencing, these days. This is the
reason I have shifted from Marxism and other philosophies
and ideologies (as I understood) to the core of Marxism and
all of them (again as I understood)!
Gita teaches us; to go to our own core and also that of the
cosmos! Gita is immortal and hence she is going to keep
enlightening generations after generations and hence there
is no aim of or a mission of “permanent” or “defined” or
“specifically envisaged” global welfare! What global or
local changes would ensue; would be pleasing but
impermanent and changing; and would essentially be the by
product of the practice of SWADHARMA by individuals
like me from the every corner of world; and from millennia
to millennia.
However this was not as easy as it sounds. The SATVA,
RAJA and TAMA keep on interfering with the realization
of SWADHARMA; thus making the process tardy, difficult
and full of tribulations; probably designed for one’s
chastisement!

I just realized that today; it is Gita Jayanti.
I had read about government ban on many animal shows on
road, in circus and celebrations of NAGPANCHAMI in
Battis Shirala. Yesterday I read that 200 000 animals were
to be slaughtered in Deonar slaughter house. The study of
Gita can engender proper policy on animal slaughter. Mere
worship of Gita or mere hatred of Gita are not only sterile
but come in the way of individual and global blossoming
through SWADHARMA.
At this point of time I want to discuss the word NIRASHI
used in 3rd and 4th chapters.
The word NIRASHI and UDAS are used in philosophical
literature pretty often and more often than not have given
me the impression of depression and frustration. I always
wondered then, how and why Gita is considered to be one
of the best counselors.
In fact, I have experienced getting frustrated, depressed or
ultimately helpless and indifferent; umpteen numbers of
times; with respect to many government policies and
happenings in the society! I guess; frustration, helplessness,
depression and indifference and melancholy are not
uncommon.
The clarification that emerged in my mind is; the words
NIRASHI, UDAS and possibly others with similar
9. connotations, do not mean getting frustrated. They do not
mean “giving up” or remaining “indifferent”!
They simply mean that you may not get the same results as
envisaged by you. Do not get vacillated and perturbed in
that event. Do not get disturbed. Do not get disheartened.
Do not get depressed. Do not lose hope. Remember that the
results depend on several factors and not necessarily on
your subjective liking or preferences. Hence they do not
indicate your incompetence. Not only one; but even several
failures per se; do not indicate your incompetence. So do
not judge and humiliate yourself from your failures. Just try
to keep on getting closer to your SWADHARMA (by
continuous rectification of your perspective and behavior;
thus bringing more and more accuracy in it, which is said to
be made easier by practice of NAMASMARAN).
Alternatively; Gita also teaches us that even if you get so
called tangible success, do not get enamored. Because
success also depends on several factors! It does not indicate
(merely) your competence! Do not get excited and lose
your sense of proportion; as you may become arrogant and
indiscrete in terms of what is benevolent and what is
harmful to you and society. Further; being unrealistic, you
may get distanced from your true self and get degenerated
and decomposed!
Essence of Gita; realized in this way; keeps me far more
buoyant and triumphant in spirit; than what it otherwise
used to be.
10. In recent days; I am learning from Gita; that when our aim
or target is not convincing to our innate core (i.e. in
variance with SWADHARMA), then our performance is
also unsatisfactory, painful, miserable and/or socially
harmful.
Thus I was not convinced about the sectarian non-holistic
curriculum of the MBBS and MD and hence I was not fully
satisfied with my own performance in learning as well as
teaching! In addition; my resilience and tenacity to achieve
a particular goal in my learning and teaching career also
were not fully satisfactory to me! I think this is true for any
person and in any business, profession or duty.
When the targets, goals, laws and regulations are not
convincing, (in variance from SWADHARMA), then
performance and the involvement in any field become
unsatisfactory!
As and when I am convinced about my actions to the core,
i.e. identify my SWADHARMA, my enthusiasm,
buoyancy, resilience, tenacity, perseverance, forbearance,
courage and dedication and overall application also
multiply!
I begin to get ecstasy in every small thing I do and my life
becomes a source of unending vitality! This brings charm
and sweetness to all relationships, including family,
relatives, friends, peers, colleagues and so on, because my
patience, consideration, and flexibility also multiply! My
brittleness, fragility, impatience, obstinacy, whims, fancies,
11. adamancy, uncertainty, doubts, diffidence; all begin to
dwindle and make me more active, freer and happier, for
increasingly longer intervals of time!
November 28, 2009, 07:30 pm
Gita teaches us to carry on our activities without getting
trapped in the results. How to reconcile various activities
going on with specific objective?
In 4th chapter and latter in 7th, 17th and 18th chapters there is
reference to activities performed with intentions i.e.
expectations of returns.
Gita does not condemn them, but guides us on the path of
evolving further and performing actions decreasing
subjective intentions or expectations in tune with the
cosmic will through e.g. NAMASMARAN!
I have begun to understand that just as I went through
different stages of development; it could also be true with
other people. I must not expect a simultaneous, uniform
and regimentalized change!
I must understand and be considerate about the changing
activities with varying interests; depending upon the age
and stage of development of the people as has been the case
with me! I should not condemn people or should not get
disheartened because there is no change! Rather I should
provide (according to my capacity) assurance and solution,
in the form of perspective, policies, plans and
12. implementation conducive to individual and global
blossoming!
In fact from this point of view, it is important to realize
from time to time the importance of the accessories (food,
sleep, residence, company etc) helpful in merging with
cosmic will! In other words; just as we can not overlook or
undermine the importance of different needs, during our
physical development; similarly even in the process of
reaching the final stage of merging with cosmic
consciousness; we have to utilize and respect the skills,
techniques and specializations such as those described in
Vedic Karmas! This is why Gita in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 17th and 18th
chapters advises us not to quit the activities but to evolve
from the activities of personal interest and perform
SWADHARMA!
Thus everything that helps to focus and get connected with
the cosmic consciousness must be done and not despised. If
we are atheist, iconoclast, nonconformist, (usually because
of inadequate study and petty ego, fanatic adamancy and
lethargy) then we may suffer from periodic depression,
which can be overcome through study of Gita and practice
of NAMASMARAN!
This became especially clearer when I read the excellent
translation and explanation of Shri Sukta by Pundit Shripad
Shastri Kinjavadekar. I realized that the practice of
SUKTAS, STOTRAS, ARATIS, and BHAJANS and so
on; helps in overcoming imminent depression, fragility and
fickle mindedness, which keep piling up subconsciously.
13. I seem to appreciate deeply that the inspiring, energizing,
encouraging, rejuvenating and revitalizing guidance about
performing all activities supporting and nurturing the
“ecstatic and freeing involvement in the SWADHARMA,
conducive to individual and global blossoming”; is the
greatest source of superlife in Gita, Vishnusahasranam and
NAMASMARAN!
