MARRIAGE&

MUTUAL BLOSSOMING

DR.SHRINIWAS

KASHALIKAR

Please understand what marriage is whether you are married or unmarried; so that you live rest of

your life with dynamic satisfaction!

Marriage is a gift and opportunity from nature, which you can use to blossom together or misuse

to perish together!

If you practice NAMASMARAN and gradually get rid of your ego, then you would blossom

together and if you abnormally nurture your ego through pampering your own individualistic and

at times hysterical wants only, then you would perish together!

Happy married life, probably the most difficult thing to achieve, is an essential part of Total Stress Management and is definitely possible

through NAMASMARAN!

BUT WHAT IS NAMASMARAN?

Namasmaran means; remembering the name ofGod, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and

holy objects such as planets and stars. It may beremembered silently, loudly, along with music,dance, along with breathing, in group or alone,

either with counting by rosary (called SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without

counting. The traditions vary from region to region and from religion to religion.

However the universal principle underlyingNAMASMARAN is to reorient your

physiological being with your true self. In fact while reorienting with true self you aim to

establish and strengthen the bond or connection; between your physiological being; with your true self. You aim at reunification

with yourself! Since remembering your true self is the pinnacle of or culmination of individual consciousness, and individual consciousness is

the culmination of every activity in life, remembering any name of God or Guru (any

symbol of your true self) is equivalent to

opening the final common pathway for the individual consciousness associated with everypossible activity to get funneled into or unified

with objective or cosmic consciousness.

Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the YOGA ofYOGA in the sense that it is the culmination of

consciousness associated with every possibleprocedure and technique in the yoga that you are familiar with. It is the YOGA of YOGA

because it is the culmination of consciousness associated with all the activities in the universe,

which it encompasses as well! It is YOGA of YOGA because everybody in the world

irrespective of his/her tradition and the beliefs; would eventually, ultimately and naturally reach it in the process of liberation. Even so

called non believers also wouldnot “miss” the “benefit of remembering the true

self through one symbol or another”!

Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA it is meditation of meditation also! It is the

natural and ultimate climax of every form of meditation. These facts however have to be

realized with persistent practice of NAMSMARAN and not blindly believed or blindly disbelieved with casual approach!

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 manifest super-transactions in his or her life!

These are just few observations to give rough idea about what is NAMASMARAN.

NAMASMARAN is an ocean of bliss. Its truemeaning is beyond description in words.
