Stress And Festivals
The life is full of periodic cycles of events and incidences; causing destruction and formation
. In body these cycles are in the form of metabolism, catabolism, cell death and regeneration, secretion of hormones and neurohormones and the activity of nervous system causing STRESS!In personal and social life; we go through pains and pleasures; which generally cause STRESS; and hence we try to rejuvenate our spirit through festivals, which constitute one of the powerful ways of stress busting!
Life is not only inseparable from activities, but the activities are further associated with coordination, aggregation, synchronization, periodicity and so on!
For example the festivals in the society repeat with great grandeur and enthusiasm from generations to generations. They exemplify the vibrant cohesiveness and harmonious cooperation amongst millions of people!
The manifestation of festivals reflects the innate urge of the human genius to reach the pinnacle of perfection!
This essence of festivals therefore should be understood so that we can see with greater clarity; the great treasure of beauty and magnanimity within us!
In absence of this; the festivals begin to become mechanical and arbitrary! They become redundant wasteful activities. We begin to look at them with increasing cynicism! We begin to evaluate festivals on the basis of trivial and material profit and loss and overlook the regenerating, revitalizing and rejuvenating spirit and the emancipating element in them.
Practice of NAMASMARAN enables us to appreciate such subtler realities in our life!
BUT WHAT IS NAMASMARAN?
Namasmaran usually embodies; remembering the name of God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and whatever is considered as holy e.g. 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 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 Him (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. 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 would not miss the benefit of NAMASMARAN as they may remember 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!
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 true meaning is beyond description in words and has to b experienced, not by one or few persons sporadically; but most preferably, by billions!
One is said to achieve ANUSANDHAN is a state of ultimate freedom; or being connected with true self; remembered through the name of God as inspired by the Guru (NAMASMARAN); in traditional practice. It is beyond all subjective considerations and pursuits; and has benevolent effect of facilitating ANUSANDHAN; on the entire universe!
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!
