Culture and language dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
The document discusses words in Indian languages related to nature and animals. Words like "Gomata" (mother cow), "Tulsi" (holy basil), and names of gods/goddesses like "Ganga Mata" (mother Ganga) convey a sense of adoration, love, respect and worship for nature. In contrast, words used in other societies for animals meant for consumption like "beef" for cow or "pork" for pig only convey craving for the utility of killing and eating those animals, reflecting the utilitarian perspective of those societies in their language.

Concept of holistic medicine dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
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 - it is neither bound by nor opposed to any particular religion, culture, intellectual framework, or ideology. Its goal is to understand the multi-dimensional nature of life and health.
The common root of science, philosophy and behaviour dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
Superliving is the common root and culmination of science, philosophy and behavior. While science, philosophy and behavior may seem like different flowers, they share the same root of reality within us. Reaching the common root of creativity through practices like NAMASMARAN allows one to experience the oneness of all perspectives and enjoy life more fully, which is the essence of superliving.
The business of fear dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
Insurance companies, medical businesses, and other industries generate and spread unfounded fear to promote their products. This has led people to fear naturally occurring products like ghee, coconut oil, and salt, fueling alternative product businesses. However, financial gains from fear-based competition ultimately lead to widespread dissatisfaction, disturbance, and disease, threatening individual and global well-being. Spiritual growth through practices like remembrance of God's name may be needed for policies that ensure individual and global welfare.
Anxiety, restlessness and tension dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha

Aging gracefully and victoriuosly dr shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha

It provides several measures to achieve healthy aging, including being physically fit and independent, free from disease, and useful to society. Specific measures recommended are remembering God's name to stay oriented and not feel lonely, bathing twice daily, eating green vegetables and sprouts, drinking cow milk with turmeric and ginger, accepting people's self-interests without complaining, practicing pranayama and yoga, and accepting each moment with focus on God to realize one's true immortal self beyond the body.
Accidents holistic solutons dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
1) Accidents and other problems are caused by policies that prioritize production of private vehicles like cars and motorcycles over public transportation like buses and trains.
2) This leads to issues like increased fuel consumption, road wear and maintenance costs, pollution, traffic jams, accidents, overcrowding of public transportation and stress/tension for travelers.
3) The root cause is policies driven by private interests rather than public health; changing policies to prioritize and improve bus services would help reduce accidents and other issues in a holistic manner.
Stress and rules dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
A retired doctor was invited for an appointment at a medical college. However, during his interview he was told that according to the rules set by the apex body of doctors, he could only be appointed as a lecturer due to not having served as a lecturer for 4 years, despite having 26 years of experience as an associate professor and professor. The interviewers said they had no choice but to follow this rule established by the apex body. The doctor believed the rule was imposed to benefit doctors from certain states where members of the apex body worked, who generally served longer than 4 years as lecturers due to different promotion rules. This prejudiced rule caused stress for meritorious doctors and had a negative impact on their careers.
Stress affects both believers and non-believers due to conflicts between belief and disbelief and between personal and universal selves. This stress continues until one evolves past their petty self into a selfless, independent, and universal self through freedom from petty concerns. By prioritizing practices like NAMASMARAN amid daily life, one can experience total stress management and relief from internal and external stresses.
Stress spiritualism and materialism dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarkrupeshcha
The document discusses the shortcomings of both spiritualism and materialism in managing stress. Spiritual discourses promise stress relaxation but are individualistic, utopian, and escapist, cutting people off from reality. Materialistic efforts towards social welfare are fragmented and superficial, not addressing root problems or satisfying one's soul. Both fanatical austerity and indulgence fail to offer holistic stress management for individuals and society. True spiritualism and materialism that ensure total stress management spring from remembrance of the divine name.
Defeating stress dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
This document discusses the causes of stress and how to defeat it. Stress is caused by a tug-of-war between our soul's attraction and temptations like romance, radicalism, indulgence, sex, fame and success. The Hindu dharma incorporates physical, emotional and intellectual needs towards self-realization. If one rebels against this way of life due to ignorance, they may become atheist, convert religions, become bohemian, or pursue illegal activities. However, this leads to violence, unhappiness and stress. NAMASMARAN, or good remembrance, reorients one's perspective through questing for the soul, defeating stress and leading to self-realization and the bloss
My stress dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarkrupeshcha
1) The document discusses how corruption is ubiquitous and exists in varying degrees based on one's perspective and surroundings.
2) It states that corruption stems from degraded perspectives, thinking, feelings, and existence, and that the corruption of leaders influences individuals.
3) The corruption of international and national laws, traditions, media, and activities without concern for global welfare contributes to an individual's corruption according to their surroundings.
4) To overcome stress and corruption of perspective, the author advocates practicing NAMASMARAN, or remembrance of the divine name.
The document discusses the root causes of child labor and stress. It argues that the root cause is educational policies that are disconnected from productive skills and real-life needs. Students in mainstream education are cut off from productive domains and the education system relies too heavily on technology and books rather than practical skills. This leads children to drop out of unproductive education systems and become vulnerable to child labor. It suggests child labor can be stopped by making education nurture productive domains in addition to cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains. This requires decision makers to have a more objective and global perspective through the amalgamation of spiritualism and materialism.
The document discusses the importance of addressing socioeconomic factors in stress management and mental illness. It states that political and spiritual leaders will fail if they do not participate in addressing issues like poverty, unemployment, and competition that impact people's mental health. The document criticizes governments that promote alcohol production, saying it will lead to mass suicide and generations of suffering. It argues that the goal of all policies should be "NAMASMARAN", which is reorienting people to their cosmic consciousness through spiritual practices.
Brahmana dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarkrupeshcha
Being a Brahmana is a continuous process of conscious and unconscious evolution through practices like chanting names of God. This evolution leads to holistic perspectives across politics, economics, education, health, agriculture and more that benefit individuals and society. As one progresses as a Brahmana, they help vitalize, promote, regulate and harmonize the other elements of society as described by Saint Dnyaneshwar, leading to the blossoming of individuals and the universe.
Technology siddhi and maya dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarkrupeshcha
Technology has enabled many feats that were previously thought impossible. In spiritual traditions, these technological achievements are likened to "siddhis" or extraordinary powers. However, philosophy also views both the internal and external universe as "maya" or an illusion of changing reality rather than absolute truth.
While technology can reveal aspects of reality not otherwise visible, it also runs the risk of creating new illusions and delusions that can mislead. The absolute truth lies in cosmic consciousness, which can be experienced through constant remembrance and contemplation of the divine name or "namasmran."
World politics dr. shriniwas janardan kashalikarkrupeshcha
The document discusses a vision for world politics that promotes individual and global blossoming through cosmic consciousness.

More about equality dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
The document discusses the concept of equality and Namasmaran. It argues that imposing uniformity on things like culture, food, and salaries stems from misguided trends and does not lead to true equality. True equality embraces diversity and creating an environment where all can blossom. It describes Namasmaran as remembering the name of God, gurus, or other holy figures through practices like chanting, music, or alone time. Namasmaran helps reconnect one's true self with physiological self and leads to unification of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness. It is considered the ultimate form of yoga and meditation.
Morbidity of media dr shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
1) Media constitute the eyes and nerves of society, determining what it sees, feels, and how it responds.
2) Today, the eyes (media) are under enormous stress and strain from rapidly changing, complicated, confusing and disturbing world events.
3) The conscience of society intends to instruct the eyes and nerves (media) to maintain their health through the practice of remembrance of God's name (Namasmaran), so that society can see, feel and respond appropriately.
Animal sacrifice and namasmaran dr. shriniwas kashalikarkrupeshcha
The document discusses the history and evolution of animal sacrifice. It explains that in early societies, hunting and killing animals for food or protection was necessary for survival and seen as a sign of bravery. Over time, as food sources became more abundant, animal sacrifice in religious ceremonies became unnecessary and seen as a sign of baser instincts rather than bravery. The document argues that today, animal sacrifice is a brutal and retrogressive tradition that is unnecessary given alternatives and signifies the worst form of ignorance and fanaticism rather than bravery or virtue. As humans continue to evolve ethically, they choose vegetarian options over cruel and unnecessary killing of animals.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

TASMAISHRI GURAVE NAMAH
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
11. 11

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

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!
