Dr. Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikar conducted a new study of the Bhagavad Gita. In the study, he discusses the differences between sanyasa and yoga, and how they are relevant to everyday life. Sanyasa refers to renunciation of activities for personal interests or pleasures, while yoga refers to fully committing to one's duties. Both sanyasa and yoga can help merge one's individual consciousness with the universal consciousness when practiced without attachment to outcomes. The study also examines how concepts in the Gita like dharma, sanyasa, and yoga can provide practical guidance for personal development.

Technology Siddhi And Maya Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
Technology has enabled many feats that were previously thought impossible. In spiritual traditions, these types of extraordinary achievements are called "siddhis". The philosophy of Advaita refers to the internal and external universe as "maya" or "mithya" to convey its changing and fleeting nature. Maya can be seen as relative reality distinct from the absolute. Technology validates this perspective by demonstrating that what we see is only apparent, while electromagnetic radiations and microbes constitute a different "reality". Technology can both unveil maya by revealing unseen aspects of reality, but also create new illusions and delusions through things like movies and advertisements that influence young minds. Ultimately, reaching the "absolute" involves experiencing ultimate peace,

Morbidity Of Media Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
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/media to maintain their health through the practice of remembrance of God's name, so that society can see, feel and respond appropriately.
The Power Of Namasmaran Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses the power of Namasmaran (remembrance of the divine name). It addresses common questions about what benefits are gained from the practice. It argues that Namasmaran does not guarantee any specific gains and that practitioners still experience difficulties. Instead, Namasmaran serves to remind us of our true nature and identity beyond physical limitations, helping us overcome fear, insecurity, anxiety and feelings of helplessness. By realizing our inherent power and immortality through the practice, the usual questions about expected benefits become meaningless.
Ecstasy Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
This document discusses the indescribable nature of spiritual experiences like self-realization. It explains that intellectual explanations of concepts like the beginning of the universe differ from spiritual explanations based on direct knowing and being. Descriptions of Brahman and the soul can seem erroneous without direct experience of the state of being. Similarly, concepts like love, peace, and a kind God are difficult to understand without experiencing them. True understanding comes from direct experience rather than explanations.
Violence & Gita Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses misconceptions around violence in the Bhagavad Gita. It states that the Gita does not advocate violence, but rather advocates remembering one's true self and fighting against forgetting oneself, which is the true violence. It defines violence as any activity that leads to forgetting oneself, others, society, and discusses how the Gita asks us to focus on our true self through yoga in order to behave in a self-realized manner for the benefit of all. It concludes that the Gita advocates participating in a war against this type of violence and losing sight of oneself.
The document discusses the concept of NAMASMARAN, which refers to the remembrance or chanting of a divine name. It states that understanding NAMASMARAN becomes deeper through practice, and it gradually becomes the core of one's personality. NAMASMARAN is seen as a way to go beyond selfish motives and experience a relationship with one's Guru and cosmic self. While it was initially seen as a way to lead to social progress, the document now argues it would lead to social changes in a less predictable way and is part of the cosmic consciousness expressing itself through enlightened beings over time.
Swami Vivekananda Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
Swami Vivekananda's birth anniversary is celebrated as Youth Day in India. He inspired generations worldwide to develop inner strength and help society progress. The document suggests that chanting names of God, or NAMASMARAN, could help solve personal and social problems as it requires no particular belief system and can be practiced by anyone.
Culture And Language Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses words in Indian languages related to nature and animals that are derived from Sanskrit. Words for mother cow, holy basil plant, mother Ganga river, mother earth, rain god, wind god, and water god convey a sense of adoration, love, respect and worship. In contrast, words used in other societies for cow meat, pork, and chicken convey only craving for the utility of killing and eating these animals, reflecting this craving in the language of those societies.
World Politics Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses a vision for world politics that promotes individual and global blossoming through cosmic consciousness. It outlines several areas that could be improved to more fully realize this vision, including perspectives on health, education, religion, language, and law. Specifically, it proposes universal practices like namasmaran, ensuring access to water and food, and redefining health. It also outlines reforms to education, religion, laws, and defense policies to be less barbaric and more reconciliatory. The overall goal is to foster unity and enlightenment among all people and religions.
Vision Of Global Blossoming Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
This document outlines a vision for individual and global blossoming through various means such as practicing remembrance of God from childhood, promoting vegetarianism, and redefining holistic health. Some key aspects of this vision include holistic education that combines spiritual empowerment with practical skills; religious places incorporating education and productive activities; early morning routines to promote oral and dental health; sponsoring the memorization of hymns; and establishing laws that are formative rather than vindictive and conducive to holistic health and well-being. The vision also involves researching and teaching Sanskrit for the benefit of mankind.
Shri Narayan Dev Walaval Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses temples of kuladaivata or kuladevata deities in India. These deities are worshipped by different family groups and have temples in various villages. People periodically assemble at these temples to worship the deities according to local customs and traditions. The document argues that these deities are divine conduits to ultimate truth. It also states that temple visits provide vital rejuvenation by allowing individuals to consume sacred enlightenment. The document advocates for more frequent worship, or upasana, at these temples through practices like namasmaran in order to reap creative and beneficial ideas for holistic rejuvenation of the temples, local communities, and broader society.

More About Equality Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
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 symbols of one's true self. This practice helps reunify one's physiological self with their true spiritual self and leads to unification with cosmic consciousness. Namasmaran is considered a culmination of yoga and meditation practices that helps one rise above worldly concerns to manifest higher actions.
Animal Sacrifice And Namasmaran Dr Shriniwas Kashalikaryashodhank
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 that truly evolved individuals choose non-violence over cruelty towards animals.
Brahmana Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
Being a Brahmana is a continuous process of conscious and unconscious evolution through remembrance of God (namasmaran) from childhood. This evolution involves the blossoming of one's perspectives, thoughts, feelings, and aspirations, as well as conceiving of and articulating a perspective of global unity. Realizing holistic approaches to politics, economics, education, health, agriculture, industries, trades, banking, art, literature, sports, and living overall becomes reality through the process of being a Brahmana. This process also involves vitalizing, promoting, regulating, coordinating, and harmonizing the elements of Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras inside and outside to blossom individuals
Triumph Over Time Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses how chanting or remembering the name of God (namasmaran) can help overcome suffering and the effects of time. It states that namasmaran leads to enhanced brain function and the ability to rise above circumstances without being passive. This allows one to feel past experiences, present events, and future apprehensions from a fourth dimensional perspective beyond the limitations of time. Through namasmaran one can achieve feats like premonition and clairvoyance, merging with cosmic consciousness and living beyond the confines of time.

He plans to wake early on New Year's Day to thank God for linking him with others and these spiritual texts, which help people rise above conflicts and come together in harmony.
Namasmaran And Romance Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
The document discusses the concept of Namasmaran and how it relates to everyday life and romance. It was initially thought that Namasmaran was something only for people who had resigned from active life, but it is becoming clear that it is actually a process of conscious evolution that makes individuals more objective, considerate, and able to react understandingly. Namasmaran can play a pivotal role in enriching everyday life and blossoming and immortalizing romance throughout one's life if embraced from a young age.
Namasmaran Is Life Of Life Dr Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikaryashodhank
This document discusses 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 says it is the core that everything revolves around, and that life is lifeless without it.

Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar discusses statements in the Bhagavad Gita implying that even the worst sinners can achieve emancipation. He addresses potential concerns that this could demoralize righteous individuals or promote a condescending attitude of forgiveness.
He explains that the Gita does not encourage sinning but aims to avert dangerous guilt complexes that prevent self-improvement. It offers cosmic solutions to all equally through practices like Namasmaran, though individual benefits depend on evolutionary state. Namasmaran reveals inner potentials for crime but also a need for forgiveness without punishment, through corrective behavior. This allows reconciling contradictory Gita statements about criminals and transcending dilemmas of vind

What is the difference between SANYASA and
YOGA? How are they relevant to common
man’s life?
In 5th chapter the discussion begins with a doubt; about
the choice between SANYASA and YOGA.
I think the word KARMA SANYASA (Sanyasah
karmayogah cha nih shreya sakarvibhau tayostu
karmasanyasat …..) here, pertains to renunciation or
asceticism; i.e. departure from all the day to day
activities required for the normal family life and social
life and YOGA pertains to participation in these
activities; by following SWADHARMA.
The meaning of SANYASA as explained in 18th chapter
is renunciation of activities of personal interest.
Individuals in the last years of life adopt SANYASA in
India, i.e. give up activities of personal interest.
But the SANYASA for a common man would mean,
giving up all activities which are not embodied in the
SWADHARMA. So any one; who engages himself or
herself in SWADHARMA, invariably practices
SANYASA by quitting everything; not included in
SWADHARMA. Similarly YOGA for a common man
would mean total, loving, committed and victorious
involvement with all the skill and energy; in the activity
included in the SWADHARMA!
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

Gita has reconciled SANYASA and YOGA. Both are
complementary (because life is inevitably associated
with renunciation of something and involvement in
something at every stage of life.
Renunciation of something or other at different stages of
life; is coupled with involvement in something or other at
different stages of life. But renouncing in a swift and
loving manner and not out of hatred or inertia; and doing
the work without attachment to the fruit (in short vested
interest or subjective considerations); constitute
SANYASA and YOGA respectively. They culminate in
cosmic consciousness; and the proportion of SANYASA
may be more in one; and proportion of YOGA may be
more in another; depending upon proportion of
emotional and intelligence quotient and neuroendocrine
and physical capabilities; thus constituting two ways
suitable for two varieties of individuals.
Why should Arjuna repeat this question
regarding SANYASA and YOGA; in 5th chapter
again? How are they relevant?
The answer is; understanding supremacy of
SWADHARMA is not adequate. Because, in spite of
understanding; the inertia keeps on surfacing and
prompting an individual; to escape from the worldly
responsibilities; giving one excuse or another. In India;
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

there were tides of ideologies glorifying irresponsible
“asceticism” from time to time. Even today, there are
various breeds of “spiritualism” and “SANYASA”
spreading like pandemics in the world causing masses to
move into irresponsible inaction, indolence and
parasitism (probably as a reaction to harrowingly and
violently stressful petty pursuits intermingled with
fanatic ideologies of extreme individualism, extreme
religious bigotry or extreme views of socialism)!
Arjuna’s repetition of the question underlines the
importance, span and sway over the world; of such
irresponsible “asceticism” and “petty pursuits”.
Lord Krishna reiterates the vital or shall we say life
saving importance of SWADHARMA; for individual,
social and global growth and blossoming. He confirms
that SWADHARMA is more meritorious than
“asceticism” in which one may conquer one’s petty
selfishness; but can succumb to the escapist, defeatist
and irresponsible indolence and inertia, which drags the
individuals, society and the world into abyss of misery!
Lord Krishna makes it clear that SANYASA i.e. external
renunciation (due to incidental cause) is usually
impulsive and not true renunciation. Such renunciation is
because of repulsion for day to day activities or
SWADHARMA; (due self inflicting nature,
SWADHARMA appears mediocre and unattractive; to

them; though actually it can serve the purpose of
blossoming one and all) that engenders misery.
It is true that some individuals are born more evolved
than the rest and hence neither get interested nor get
involved in the day to day transactions of family and
society, because of enlightenment and not inertia. They
like Adya Shankaracharya; renounce the world and
accept SANYASA just as ripe fruit falls from the tree.
Some understand and realize the true nature of the world
through SANKHYA philosophy without going through
the experiences a common man and may lead a life
different from a common man e.g. Dnyaneshvar o
Dnyaneshwar. Being aware of this, Lord Krishna
clarifies that we should not get enamored or infatuated
(and tempted to emulate) by the heroic nature of
SANYASA and SANKHYA philosophy (due to our
subtle escapist or lethargic nature) but stick to our
SWADHARMA, because even as the SANYASA,
SANKHYA and YOGA (SWADHARMA) look
different; ultimately culminate into the same pedestal of
cosmic consciousness!
Having said this; Lord Krishna elaborates the sublime
characteristics of practitioner of SWADHARMA, which
elevates the individual in a blissful state that is beyond
physiological boundaries and beyond all petty and
subjective considerations of life!

What are the practical expressions of
SWADHARMA useful in individual
blossoming?
In 3rd chapter it is stated that one who cooks and eats
merely for his petty pleasures (which are actually
detrimental to his blossoming) is a thief.
This is a very important aspect of Gita. Gita encourages
individuals to be active physically, instinctually,
emotionally and intellectually and according to one’s
capabilities and skills, but with the goal of getting freed
from the subjectivity and merging with the cosmic
consciousness.
Gita states that; one (e.g. an intellectual or spiritual
leader) should never dissuade (which is referred to as
BUDDHIBHEDA) any other person from his or her
activities of livelihood such as crafts, arts and other
skilled and productive activities. One should in fact;
encourage these and try to do oneself; all such activities
in life; but with the sole aim of conforming to the
absolute truth and universal blossoming!
Lord Krishna reiterates this even in 5th chapter.
In the 6th chapter Lord Krishna reinforces this point and
describes certain ways by which man can merge with the
objective reality.
DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

He therefore makes it clear; right in the beginning that
any one who works without attachment to the results, is a
SANYASI and also a YOGI; and not the one who does
not do his duties (as prescribed by the scriptures with the
intention of individual and global blossoming), out of
escapism and inertia.
Just as He imparts the insight in SANYASA by pointing
out the dangers of inaction and indolence and importance
of getting rid from the results, He also espouses and
elucidates the nature of YOGA, which in true sense
means all activities done to merge with the absolute. This
YOGA is impossible in presence of SANKALPA i.e.
subjective (erroneous) projections or utopia! You can
imagine that individual or subjective goals
(SANKALPA); act as leakages and hinder the merger of
individual consciousness with the absolute
consciousness! It is exactly like leakages in the pipes
through which you cannot pump water to higher floors.
So getting rid of these leakages (SANKALPA) is true
SANYASA, without which YOGA is not possible!
Even though these concepts pertain to individual and
global blossoming, they also make sense in day to day
activities. Thus if you don’t depend on results; you can
avoid self destructive responses (out of excitation or
depression) to the results of your activities; and live life
buoyantly!

But it has to be appreciated; that in everyday life action
is usually associated with results. Thus some
understanding and anticipation of results is bound to be
and has to be there, so that you can perform the action
elegantly and
diligently. Gita upholds such continued improvement in
technique by anticipation of results; from which your
feelings and responses are not marred. This is
emphasized in (Buddhiyukto jahateeha …yogah karmasu
kaushalam) 2nd chapter!

There are many postures, mudras, pranayamas etc apart
from proper nutrition, sleep etc. which are important
aspects of life, which ought to be cultivated right from
childhood, so that YOGA becomes possible.
Lord Krishna does not elaborate in details on this, but
suffice it to say that once the goal viz. self realization is
identified and given topmost priority and importance,
then one can adopt suitable techniques; according to
one’s physical and social environment, conducive to
reach the goal! This is very important because during
development to save us from dangerous infatuations born
from some aphorisms (e.g. Aham Brahmasmi, Brham
Satyam Jagat Mithya), which tend to make an individual
totally unrealistic and schizoid!

Lord Krishna reassures Arjuna (and everyone) that
dedication and consistent study and practice make
YOGA (the correct process and progress to self
realization) possible. Lord Krishna also maintains that
even if an individual loses his body before reaching the
goal, his
efforts are never wasted and realizes the YOGA i.e.
progress towards self realization in the next birth, (he/she
is adorned with the necessary qualities).
What are the pragmatic implications of YOGA
in social life?
Lord Krishna also clarifies the importance of YOGA in
terms of actual practice (which seems to beneficially
evolve the physiology) rather than mere reading and
understanding and further emphasizes the importance the
focus on the goal viz. self realization i.e. complete
submission of the subjectivity to Lord Krishna i.e.
objective or cosmic consciousness.
6th chapter; (like the 16th,17th and 18th chapters) is
important for any educationist, education policy maker,
educational administrator, teacher or trainer in the world,
so as to work holistically; because it outlines the actual
factors which contribute to the process of blossoming,
including diet and nutrition in brief!
It is easy to understand how this would have far reaching
and beneficial impact on the world in terms of

perspective, policies, plans and implementation; for
individual and global blossoming, which is imperative
today, because; no individual nation can grow or perish
in isolation, without beneficial or adverse impact on the
other nations; for long period.
The practical relevance of this is on policy making. For
example, global reduction in the production of two
wheelers and small cars; in preference to mass transport
vehicles such as buses, has impact on global
environment, fuel consumption, traffic jams, accidents,
pollution, wearing out of roads, crowding of local trains
(in metros) and so on.
If principles of Gita (the essential nutrients for individual
and global blossoming) are imbibed and digested by
decision makers of the world, then such globally
beneficial policies can emerge in all the fields of life.
How does the description of cosmic nature (in 7th
chapter) of the Lord help one to blossom?
In 7th chapter Lord Krishna narrates his omnipresent
nature to Arjuna and indicates how only few realize this
nature and how others do not realize this! He explains
that he is the light beyond the physical light and remains
unseen by eyes!!
