This document discusses stress management and the role of laws. It argues that traditional and modern stress management approaches have limitations and are not fully effective because they are not rooted in self-realization. Laws should spring from self-realization and promote individual and global well-being. Examples of ideal laws given include making meditation a core part of education worldwide and shifting focus from GDP to holistic progress centered on self-realization. The document advocates verifying these ideas through study and practice of meditation instead of casual acceptance or rejection.

2. The stress is universal. It is ubiquitous. It is natural. It is
inseparable from life. However; if it is not managed
properly then it becomes detrimental to individual and
global blossoming and even survival. Hence it has to be
managed properly.
Stress has been managed in many ways for millennia.
The ways of stress management have been changing as
the life and the nature of stress have been changing.
Since the nature of life is vast and complex the nature
of stress is also vast and complex.
Hence the traditions, customs, conventions,
commandments, decrees, laws, rules, regulations,
administration, etiquettes and manners; on the one
hand; and scientific inventions, discoveries, artistic
creations and other modes of elevating, exhilarating,
entertaining, consoling and soothing life; on the other;
have limitations in terms of stress management (even
though they have contributed tremendously in stress
management; in the past)!

3. All these ways of stress management however; can be
more accurate and effective; in individual and global
blossoming (TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT or
SUPERLIVING) if they spring from true self; and are
coordinated and orchestrated by the true self!
The self realization i.e. merging with; or actually “being
the true self” or “being the cosmic consciousness”;
enables us to express the enlightenment in every walk
of life; such as the traditions, customs, conventions,
commandments, decrees, laws, rules, regulations,
administration, etiquettes, manners, scientific
inventions, discoveries, artistic creations and arts (the
evolving environment) and bring about blossoming of
one and all!
This is possible through NAMASMARAN.
But we may ask; “How and why is this not happening
even as millions are practicing NAMASMARAN?”
The answer is; “It is true that thousands of people are
practicing NAMSMARAN and many of them are one

4. with cosmic consciousness and are expressing their
enlightenment in various walks of life. But this is still
NOT enough! The practice of NAMASMARAN has to
be really universal and continue to be so; so that the
laws, rules, conventions etc governing the universal life
(the evolving environment); spring from self realization
and become conducive to self realization inseparable
from individual and global blossoming.
This is why; there are; many laws, which are coercive,
restrictive, throttling, suffocating and create hindrance
to individual and global blossoming on the one hand;
and many laws conspicuous by their absence, which
can be conducive to individual and global blossoming!
The laws and rules; regarding education, health,
agriculture, industries and so on; if born from self
realization and conducive to self realization i.e.
individual and global blossoming; would be e.g. and in
brief; as follows:

5. 1. NAMASMARAN must become (through global
consensus) a core of in all types of training and
education all over the universe.
2. Holistic health has to be conceptualized and taught at
all the levels; as physical, instinctual, emotional,
intellectual states and actions conducive to individual
and global blossoming; and not merely in terms of
ambiguous “physical, mental, social and spiritual
health”.
3. Holistic medicine must be conceptualized and taught
at all the levels; as “All that aids in the insight of
diagnosis, prognosis and prevention of disease and
promotion of holistic health; is medicine.
4. Holistic education must be conceived as; all the
increasing enlightenment and empowerment of an
individual; to contribute to “self and global
blossoming”; and must be introduced right from the
beginning of education. Further; in the education,
there must be the incorporation of the productive
element e.g. plantation, agriculture, horticulture,
vermiculture, sericulture; and/or service element e.g.
stitching, wiring, winding, carpentry, plumbing!

6. 5. Holistic education must include condemnation and
discrediting of the disastrous and dangerous models
of “individualistic and progress” that includes; e.g.
unabated felling of trees, excessive production and
marketing of personal transport vehicles and barbaric
and brutal slaughtering of animals!
6. Thus; laws e.g. should discourage production of
vehicles of individual transport and promote the
production and marketing of the vehicles of public
transport.
7. The slaughters must be discouraged and/or banned
by law; while simultaneously promoting production,
marketing, supply and availability of several
vegetarian options.
8. The model of “national and global progress” must be
based and centered on the self realization, which is
inseparable from individual and global blossoming
and NOT oriented around the per capita income or
GDP. The national progress must never be based on
deceptive and cruel parameters such as number of
flyovers, number two wheelers, four wheelers, five
star hotels and so on and must be explained clearly

7. and intensely through every possible effort, media
and technology.
9. The laws should concur with and boost our
conscience, and enhance self realization and catalyze
individual and global blossoming. This is essential
especially in view of the illegal (but not necessarily
immoral or antisocial) and illegal, brutal and
antisocial activities; flourishing in every walk of life
due to obstructive, restrictive, coercive laws and
rules; throttling our conscience, morality and self
realization.
We should not merely believe, disbelieve, imagine,
conjecture, or theorize casually; about what is written
here; and should not develop presumptions, prejudices,
liking, acceptance, disliking, rejection or respect; and
should not go into uncertainty, dilemma, indecision,
wavering, and vacillations! In stead; we should
provisionally accept and actually study and practice the
contents and the TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT and
NAMASMARAN; and verify.
