 We are taught to stand, walk, jump, run, talk, read, write
and many such skills! But we are not inspired and guided to
know and be ourselves! In fact we don’t even seem to realize
that such inspiration and guidance; is even needed!

This statement may appear strange; but if we ponder over

it; a bit seriously; then we would be convinced about it.

As a result we live; reflexly, superficially and casually; in

accordance with the stimuli impinging and interacting with
our sense organs, endocrine glands, autonomic nervous
system and central nervous system; from environment
inside and outside our body! This amounts to being in the
imprisonment of our subjective and individualistic realm;
with ever increasing dissatisfaction and not living in the
state of freedom of being ourselves.

Since we are not trained to yearn and be ourselves; the

process of decent and shackling in our pettiness continues.
Our petty choices compete with and continue to sabotage
our sublime urges springing from the depths our being; and
drag us to into perennial and infectious abyss.

This kind of life full of delusions about our true identity;

dragging and drowning us in those petty delusions; is the
root cause of stress, anarchy, chaos, degeneration and decay
in individual and global life; in the form of inappropriate
perspective, policies and actions; at individual and global
levels.

These delusions that our physical senses, endocrine glands,

autonomic nervous system and central nervous system
inputs are eternal (mere thought of loss of these causes
depression, fear and misery); are not usually discussed in
psychology, sociology, politics and stress management etc.

Total stress management, the core of which is

NAMASMARAN; embodies; knowing and being our true
selves; and expressing ourselves in perspective, policy
making, planning, execution and administration at all
levels! This ensures; moment to moment contentment and
fulfillment to our innate core that is our true self.

In absence of total stress management; all the piecemeal and

superficial efforts towards; globalization, development,
progress, advancement, modernization, health care, charity
and stress management; are bound to fail, in blossoming us
and the universe!
NAMASMARAN being the core of total stress management;
can certainly realize this.

But what is NAMASMARAN?

NAMASMARAN usually embodies; remembering the

name of god, guru, great souls; such as prophets and
whatever is considered as holy for example planets and
stars. It is remembered silently, loudly, along with music,
dance, along with breathing, in group or alone. Further,
NAMASMARAN is either counted by some means such
as fingers, rosary (called smarani or japamala), or
electronic counter; or practiced without counting. The
traditions vary from region to region and from religion
to religion.

However the universal principle underlying

NAMASMARAN is to reorient our physiological and
social being with; our true self and establish and
strengthen the bond between; our physiological and
social being; with our true self; and finally reunification
or merger with actually being; our true self!

Since individual consciousness is the culmination of every

activity in life; and NAMASMARAN the pinnacle of or
 culmination of individual consciousness;
NAMASMARAN is actually opening the final common
pathway to objective or cosmic consciousness; so that
individual consciousness in every possible activity gets
funneled into or unified with he (our true self)!

Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the yoga of yoga in the

sense that it is the culmination of consciousness
associated with every possible procedure and technique
in the yoga that we are familiar with; and also because; it
embodies the cosmic consciousness in which culminate all
the activities in the universe!

It is yoga of yoga; also because everybody in the world

irrespective of his or her tradition and the beliefs; would
eventually, ultimately and naturally reach it; in the
process of liberation. Even so called non believers also
would ascend into this yoga; as they may remember their
true self through one symbol or another!

Just as NAMASMARAN is yoga of yoga it is meditation

of meditation also! This is because the natural and
ultimate climax of every form of meditation; is
remembering true self or merging with cosmic
consciousness effortlessly!
 In short namsmaran is super bounty of cosmic
consciousness for every individual to realize it (cosmic
consciousness)! This is truly a super bounty because a
person, who experiences it, rises above mercenary,
commercial and even professional and charity planes and
manifests super transactions in his or her life! This is
superliving.

These are just few observations to give rough idea about

what is NAMASMARAN. NAMASMARAN is an ocean
of bliss. Its true meaning is beyond description in words
and has to b experienced, not by one or few persons
sporadically; but by billions!

The last point is; NAMASMARAN would certainly

enlighten, empower and enable some people; out of those
billions practicing NAMASMARAN; to evolve, guide and
consolidate the global conscience and thereby manifest
global unity and harmony and justice, through globally
benevolent proper policies!

NAMASMARAN should not be blindly believed or

blindly disbelieved with casual approach! It has to be
taken seriously and studied, thought over, argued,
 discussed etc. But all doubts vanish through practice
only; and we then realize that NAMASMARAN has to be
practiced, encouraged, taught, preached, advised,
imparted, promoted, and advertised with top priority for
individual and global blossoming.
