This document discusses the relationship between stress and corruption. It argues that corruption stems from a corrupted perspective that becomes narrow and sectarian. This corrupted perspective then leads to corrupt thinking, emotions, and actions. Corruption manifests itself in many ways throughout society, from discriminatory laws and systems to seeking awards and honors through irregular means. However, corruption has deeper roots in how stress distorts one's perspective. The only way to truly address corruption is through total stress management, which can help repair one's perspective and blossom a global conscience.
It may be clear by now; that SUPERLIVING i.e. Total Stress Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN); is the way to conquer corruption; because corruption; is in fact mismanaged STRESS; in different phases, stages, conditions, situations and circumstances of life.
The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective, followed by corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions. Hence the efforts without this insight are groping crusades, which can not eradicate corruption and can not blossom the global perspective and global conscience.
NAMASMARAN leads to; culmination of; every metabolic, endocrine and nervous activity responsible for anger; into “most fulfilling; holistic perspective, thinking, feelings and behavior conducive to individual and universal blossoming!
Holistic education can eradicate unemployment on the one hand; and evils such as all the wastages, corruption and other malpractices involved in the sectarian education; on the other! Thus; how much ever monotonous, repetitive and propagandist it may appear; NAMASMARAN is the fountainhead of individual and universal welfare.

समाजात; आणि विशेषत: सर्व प्रकारच्या सत्ताकेंद्रांत जेवढे नामस्मरण वाढेल, तेवढ्या अधिकाधिक प्रमाणात समाजामधील सर्व स्तरांवरील क्रिया आणि प्रतिक्रिया अधिकाधिक पूर्वग्रहरहित (न्यायपूर्ण) आणि म्हणून कल्याणकारक होतात आणि व्यक्ती आणि समाजाचा सर्वांगीण विकास वेगाने होऊ लागतो.
ज्याप्रमाणे चुलीमुळे आग नियंत्रित होते आणि तिची धग भांड्याला नीटपणे लागून अन्न वेळेमध्ये शिजते, त्याचप्रमाणे जीवनातील सर्व भोगांची आणि उपभोगांची धग नामस्मरणरुपी चुलीमुळे अंतरात्म्याकडे पोचते आणि अंतरात्म्यामध्ये समाधानरुपी अन्न शिजू लागते. साहजिकच आपले, आपल्या कुटुंबियांचे आणि समाजाचे समाधान होऊ लागते! ज्याप्रमाणे चुली आणि त्यांच्यातील आग कमी जास्त असते, त्याचप्रमाणे नामसाधकांच्या प्रगतीचे टप्पे देखील वेगवेगळे असतात. पण नामस्मरणाने समाधानाकडे वाटचाल होऊ लागते; हे केवळ सद्गुरू ब्रह्मचैतन्य श्री गोंदवलेकर महाराजांच्याच नव्हे तर सर्वच संत महात्म्यांच्या शिकवणीचे त्रिवार सत्य असे सार आहे.
ह्या अमृताचा अगदी अंशत: अनुभव देखील जीवन झळाळून टाकणारा असतो आणि तो येण्यासाठी चित्तशुद्धी होत राहण्याची आवश्यकता असते. ही चित्तशुद्धी नामस्मरणाद्वारे होत जाते आणि ती चित्तशुद्धी देखील कोणत्याही बाह्य लक्षणाने ओळखता येत नाही आणि दाखविता येत नाही!
नामसंकल्पयुक्त नामस्मरणाचे चैतन्याधिष्ठान आणि सद्गुरुंची गोड ओढ; यानी रटाळ क्षण उत्साहवर्धक बनतो, कंटाळवाणा दिवस सण बनतो आणि निरर्थक आयुष्य कृतार्थ बनते! कुणीही हे करून पाहिले तर याचा अनुभव येऊ शकेल.
होय! अशी एक पायाभूत सुविधा आहे! पूर्णपणे बिनखर्चाची, कुणाचेही अंत:करण आणि आणि अस्मिता न दुखावणारी आणि सर्वांनाच सहज शक्य अशी ही सुविधा आहे. ह्या सुविधेद्वारे सद्विचार, सद्भावना, सद्वासना, सत्संकल्प आणि विश्वकल्याणकारी आणि सतत विकसित होणारी सत्कार्ये अविरतपणे घडू लागतात. प्रत्येक व्यक्ती समाधानी आणि कृतार्थ होऊ लागते. अशी अत्याधिक अत्यावश्यक पायाभूत सुविधा म्हणजे नामस्मरण
“नाम घेणाऱ्याला सत्कर्म टाळू म्हणता टाळता येत नाही” असे जेव्हां सद्गुरू श्री. ब्रह्मचैतन्य महाराज गोंदवलेकर म्हणतात, तेव्हां त्यांमध्ये वरील सर्वकाही अंतर्भूत आहे, म्हणजेच वेळ, पैसा आणि शक्ती यांचे (अर्थात आयुष्याचे) सर्वोत्तम व्यवस्थापन अनुस्यूत आहे!
परंतु पूर्वजन्मीच्या किंवा ह्या जन्मीच्या नामस्मरणाने; स्वत:च्या आणि इतरांच्या कल्याणाविषयी जी वैचारिक स्पष्टता येते ती स्पष्टता, जी गोड आणि उत्कट आस्था तयार होते ती आस्था, आणि त्या अनुरोधाने जी मन:पूर्वक कृती घडते ती कृती; ह्या तीनही बाबी मात्र हृदयाच्या अगदी जवळ असतात.
१. केवळ वाचन आणि चर्चेने नामस्मरणाच्या ह्या विश्वकल्याणकारी सामर्थ्याची संकल्पना काही प्रमाणात येऊ शकेल, पण त्याची प्रचीती येण्यासाठी नामस्मरण करणेच अत्यावश्यक आहे. किंबहुना, नामस्मरणाला पर्याय नाही असे म्हटले तरी ते अतिशयोक्त ठरणार नाही!
आपणा सर्वांना निकोप जीवनासाठी आणि जीवनाच्या सार्थकतेसाठी नामस्मरणाची, श्रीक्षेत्र गोंदवल्याची आणि अश्या प्रसाद व महाप्रसादाची अत्यंत तीव्र आणि निकडीची गरज आहे!
नामस्मरण करत प्रसाद किंवा महाप्रसाद वाढणारे आणि ग्रहण करणारे सर्वच जण ईश्वराप्रती किंवा आपल्या सद्गुरुप्रती कृतज्ञ असतात आणि कृतार्थ असतात! यातून परस्परांच्या कल्याणाची सद्वासना, सद्भावना, सद्विचार, आणि सत्संकल्प यांचे पोषण होऊन सर्वांचे उत्थान अधिक जोमाने गतिमान होते.
सद्गुरू श्री. ब्रह्मचैतन्य गोंदवलेकर महाराज म्हणतात, "आंधळ्याने पाणी भरावे तसे नाम घ्यावे. भांडे भरले किती आणि रिकामे किती, हे त्याला समजत नाही. तो भरतच राहतो. तसे नाम सतत घेत राहावे. देहाच्या कणाकणातून नामाचा ध्वनी केव्हाही यावा इतके नाम घ्यावे. सुरुवातीला रामनाम असे मुरले की पुन्हा जास्त लक्ष द्यावे लागत नाही. आपोआप देहाचे सारे कण नामजप करतात."
आम्ही सर्वच माध्यमवाल्यांनी नामस्मरणाचा अत्यंत आस्थेने अभ्यास, अगत्यपूर्वक अंगिकार आणि जीव तोडून प्रसार केला पाहिजे ह्याची खोलवर आणि तीव्र जाणीव झाली आणि त्यातच आमचे आणि सर्वांचे भले आहे ह्याबद्दल खात्री झाली!!
तुमची परम कृपा मात्र प्राणवायूप्रमाणे चिरंतन, चैतन्यमय, स्फूर्तिदायी आणि शाश्वत समाधान देणारी आहे! नामस्मरणाच्या आणि तज्जन्य सद्बुद्धीच्या, सद्भावनांच्या, सद्वासनांच्या, सत्संकल्पांच्या आणि सत्कर्माच्या रूपाने ती माझ्यासारख्या सर्वांना उपलब्ध झाली आहे!
श्रीराम समर्थ!
सतत नामस्मरण घडू लागले, गुरुची सत्ता पदोपदी जाणवू लागली, गुरुचे सानिध्य क्षणोक्षणी जाणवू लागले, जगण्याची उमेद वाढली, आजारपणाची आणि मृत्त्युची भीती गेली; आणि विशेष म्हणजे; ह्यापेक्षा वेगळे ध्येय गाठण्याची व त्यासाठी अधिक काही करण्याची उर्मी गेली तर तोच साक्षात्कार नाही का?
ह्यामुळे आहे त्या परिस्थितीत नामस्मरण टिकू लागते आणि वाढू लागते! आश्चर्याची बाब म्हणजे आपल्या लक्षात येऊ लागते की हीच ती खरी शांतता, खरी विश्रांती आणि हीच ती (स्वत:, इतर आणि परिस्थिती यांच्यामधल्या) खऱ्या सुधारणेची ईश्वरी प्रक्रिया!
Our Sadguru Shri Brahmachaitanya Maharaj Gondavalekar said, “Trust that the practice of NAMASMARAN as prescribed by Guru would emancipate the universe! Lord Rama would bless!”
नामाच्या सत्तेनेच आपल्या कळत-नकळत; सदभिरुची, सदिच्छा, सत्संकल्प, सत्प्रेरणा, सत्बुद्धी, सद्भावना, सद्वासना, सदाचार; म्हणजेच सद्गुरू ब्रह्मचैतन्य श्री. गोंदवलेकर महाराजांना अभिप्रेत असलेली संस्कृती आणि सुधारणा; व्यक्तिगत आणि सामाजिक जीवनात अधिकाधिक प्रमाणात आविष्कृत होत असतात!
पण काळजी करण्याचे कारण नाही. आपल्या इच्छे-अनिच्छेपलिकडे; विश्वचैतन्याची जननी आपली गुरुमाउली सर्व बऱ्या वाईट प्रसंगात आपल्याला सांभाळून आपल्याला चैतन्यामृतपान करवीत आहे. आपल्याकडून नामस्मरण आणि स्वधर्मपालन वाढत्या प्रमाणात करवीत आहे. सदभिरुची, सदिच्छा, सत्संकल्प, सत्प्रेरणा, सत्बुद्धी, सद्भावना, सद्वासना, सदाचार यांनी आपले व्यक्तिगत आणि सामाजिक जीवन अधिकाधिक प्रमाणात भरून टाकीत आहे! नामस्मरण करता करता आपल्याला नक्कीच याचा अनुभव येतो!

2. The word STRESS is used so extensively and in so
many different contexts; that its definition, meaning,
significance, causes, mechanisms, dimensions, effects
and Total Management have become increasingly
complex, ambiguous and obscure.
Similarly the word, corruption is used so extensively
and in so many contexts that it’s definition, meaning,
significance, causes, mechanisms, dimensions, effects
and Total Management have become increasingly
complex, ambiguous and obscure!
The corruption; of the political, religious, intellectual,
industrial and other leaders in world; can promote and
boost the corruption of (besides their stooges and
supporters); any individual; in any and every part of
the world; and vice versa.
Corruption is usually and wrongly equated with mere
financial scams, bribing, kick backs; which constitute
“the visible fraction of the iceberg of corruption”!
Hence; let us study the basic concept of corruption!
3. Actually the corruption and the enormous STRESS
produced by it are as ubiquitous as life and the
consciousness! Corruption embodies; degradation of
one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions; being
influenced by and influencing; the surroundings either
consciously or subconsciously; and either knowingly
or unknowingly!
Corrupt Perspective
Perspective is like the space of consciousness! Thus
the normalcy of this “space” of consciousness i.e.
perspective; is being universal! The degree of
restriction of that “space of consciousness” i.e.
perspective; determines the degree of the suffocation
and throttling of consciousness, marking the beginning
of stress and corruption!
Thus; the restriction of the space of consciousness
(perspective) constitutes separation from nature, world,
countries, religions, regions, provinces, sects, linguistic
groups, castes, communities, creeds, sects and even our
own family and from our true self and embodies
corruption and stress!
4. This disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and
hence not easily noticed. Since the medial systems
today have not learnt to diagnose and treat the disease
viz. “corruption of perspective”; they do not identify
and treat this disease, which often inflicts the medical
systems themselves!
Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes our thoughts,
feelings and actions also increasingly mean, lonely,
weak, inert, grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate,
resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish and
pathogenic (many times concealed under deceptive
glamour and glitter) for ourselves and the society!
The paradigms or premises; of the sectarian
supremacy, racial superiority, financial expansionism,
religious bigotry and fanaticism and so on (without
concern for the wellbeing of the entire world)
constitutes corrupt perspective and highly infectious
stress!
Corrupt Thinking
5. The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets
corrupted (diseased and degenerated) gradually
becomes increasingly NARROW, sick and sectarian.
From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt
perspective, the sick and sectarian thinking
germinates! Everything holistic gets degenerated into
everything sick and sectarian! This is corrupt
thinking and corrupt rationale; behind the coercive;
international, national and local; laws, conventions,
traditions, rules, pacts (formed without concern for
wellbeing of the entire world)!
Thus the racially discriminating constitutions, the legal
discrimination on the basis of castes, legal yet unjust
tax system/s to exploit certain section for the benefit of
another section, the repressive laws against trade,
shops and such commercial activities, the legalized
destructive promotion of alcohol, the various laws and
rules with respect to special economic zones and so on
are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The present
sectarian medical and education systems
(conspicuously lacking in integration and productive
domain respectively) are also glaring examples of
6. Corrupt thinking.
The so called corruption (embodying mere financial
scams, bribing and even other corrupt activities) is
actually crude and superficial symptom of the deeper
disease viz. corrupt thinking, which in turn is the crude
symptom of deeper disease viz. corrupt perspective!
Corrupt Emotions
The motivation behind the literature, art, media,
movies, dramas, and advertisements and so on (serving
the sectarian aims, petty objectives, and vested
interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes;
without concern for the welfare of people at large; or
even at the cost of the welfare of people at large)
constitute the corruption of emotions and instincts.
In our personal life; one such emotion, which we carry
on from childhood; through out life, is the craze for
accolades, awards and honors!
In the course of time; awards accolades and honors
become a means of profiteering in many ways apart
from euphoria; for us!! They become a means of
establishing upper hand, dominance, and sway of one
7. kind or another; on the society. We enjoy this upper
hand, dominance, power, which further inflate our ego
and give arrogant happiness, which is not easily
describable! But all of us have experienced this sense of
addicting elation when our ego is boosted!
Corrupt Actions
The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns,
movements, and such every activity in different fields;
either organized or unorganized (without concern for
the welfare of the world; or at the cost of the world)
constitutes the corrupt actions.
In personal life; we manipulate to get “prestigious”
awards, bribe to get “accolades” and use every
irregular means to get “honors”!
Isn’t it true that the degree of our petty greed and our
mean addictions like these; in various fields (apart
from helplessness and meekness born out of dire
needs); determines the extent of financial and other
varieties of corruption in our society irrespective of
where we live in the world?
8. Considering the universal expanse of the corruption
and the STRESS associated with it; from the brief
discussion above, it should be clear how corruption
and stress are really ubiquitous i.e. not only outside but
inside us as well!!
The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty
perspective, followed by corrupt thoughts, emotions
and actions.
Hence the efforts without this insight constitute a phase
in the groping crusade against corruption, but can not
eradicate the roots of corruption and can not blossom
the global perspective and global conscience.
For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate,
rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of
global perspective and global conscience the answer is
Total Stress Management, which breaks open the
throttling shackles, which restrict the space of our
consciousness and thereby effectively heals the
corruption of our perspective, thinking, feelings and
actions.
9. It may be clear by now; the Total Stress Management
(the core of which is NAMASMARAN); is the way to
conquer corruption; because corruption; is in fact
mismanaged STRESS; in different phases, stages,
conditions, situations and circumstances of life.
The fact that Total Stress Management is the way to
conquer corruption needs verification experiment on a
universal scale because corruption is universal! It does
not involve invasive techniques, is absolutely non
traumatic, is totally nontoxic, and is completely non-
expensive. More over; it does not poke or interfere
with any belief or non-belief system/s!
