Namasmaran skepticism, cynicism and sarcasm dr. shriniwas kashalikarshriniwas kashalikar
Is it not possible to successfully tread through the four progressive stages of traditional stress management and prevent VINASHA in some other simpler ways and/or through some short cuts? In my experience; NO! It is not possible in any way other than NAMASMARAN!
1. In our life; anything in absence of these stages of self development; such as individual gains, visions of different colors, idols, experiences of meeting deities, smells, sounds, intuitions and; and even so called peace, joy etc; are temporary, petty, illusory and obstructive to individual and global blossoming.

This is an overview of the CSM Mentor Program for faculty. Most of the words are in the notes section which you can see if you download the presentation.
I used BB 9.1 for 11 courses over the past academic year and this is some of what I learned. At the end of the presentation are a few slides on what you should do when you copy an old shell to a new shell. I use the notes page for all the text so you may have to download the file to understand some of the slides.
Do you use PowerPoint in the classroom? Did you know that not reading (or having) bullets to the students will result in a 79% increase in their transfer ability and a 28% increase in retention? This session will review research on PowerPoint and learning and present 5 simple ways to create presentations that enhance student learning. The text is mostly in speaker notes so you must download the file to see it.
Because, unlike most of our subjective feelings and their limited role in life, bhakti is an experience which is the objective source of revitalization for the whole universe! Bhakti is nothing else but the phenomenon of the flow of universal blessing through an individual for the rejuvenation of the entire universe forever!

It is most urgent to get rid of pettiness, superficiality, self righteousness and fanaticism and accept OUR and forgive OTHERS’ erroneous viewpoints, strategies and actions and immerse in a vision and mission of blossoming of one and all.
2. Even while practicing NAMASMARAN one comes across
moments of despair. The cause of this despair, loneliness,
frustration, emptiness etc. is the typical nature of
transitional state of an individual, when he or she has
evolved out of material pleasures; yet; has not still reached
the most reassuring effulgent ocean; of what may be
called; immortal love, universal love, or divine love
(GURUKRUPA).
A person, who has been charged and propelled from
within for “superliving” or “blossoming of one and all”;
often experiences a deep sense of restlessness, un-calmed
by the material success on the one hand and inability to
get the solace from the universal love (GURUKRUPA).
The success or the pursuit of success; which involves and
satisfies many; does not interest or satisfy him or her, on
the one hand and the GURUKRUPA remains beyond his
or her reach!
This is exactly when; there is despair and immense
loneliness. All others are engrossed and submerged in
their pursuits, which may be politics, business, agriculture,
academics, entertainment, sports, gambling, drinking, race
3. etc. but he or she is no more at ease with them and hence
starts feeling lonely and dejected!
A person in this state finds it very difficult to swallow the
idea of unconditioned acceptance, love and respect! In
fact it appears like a ridiculous and humiliating
proposition.
Intellectually the person may understand that every
individual has God in his or her heart. But such ideation
becomes an unbearable burden.
The person finds all philosophy hollow and in fact
counterproductive in terms of losing all success on the one
hand and losing the lively and vibrant joy of being
amongst the near and dear ones on the other!
This state leads to bitterness; especially about near ones
like husband, wife, family members, relatives, colleagues
and so on. They begin to appear callous and uninterested
in him or her. This adds to weakness, shakiness,
indecision, suspicion, doubts, uncertainty and distrust in
the precepts or preaching of one’s own GURU. There is
4. self diffidence about his or her intellectual, emotional and
foundation. This is really a miserable state.
The individual; if aware of this possibility and the fact it is
experienced by others also, then would realize that he or
she should persist on NAMASMARAN and that soon he
or she would get the revelation of the ever present and
ever empowering assurance and solace of GURUGRUPA,
to which he or she had been oblivious! This experience is
so rich and profound that; everyone around at the core;
(especially the near and dear ones); is found to be loving
him or her! This is an amazing feeling and the
preciousness of it can only be appreciated and cherished
by those who experience it.
Truly; this is love beyond success.
