NAMASMARAN

HUMANITY

AND

EMANCIPATION

DR.SHRINIWASJANARDAN

When we observe wars, riots, crimes, frauds, scams and so on; it becomes

difficult to devote to; apparently escapist activity such as namasmaran. This happens even when we go through unpleasant situations in family or

personal life.

This is because namasmaran does not give any satisfaction of having revolted, fought or at least resisted the “injustice

or unpleasant issues” in life.

The idea of chanting the name of God at best appears to help one’s own

emancipation and hence appears a cowardly, mean and petty activity.

This can cause severe conflict and vacillation towards and away from

namasmaran.

However in the course of time; we begin to observe disintegration of our petty self

from the society. We begin to witness that even as physical activities can be

mean and petty; namasmaran can never be mean and petty; even if we practice it (initially) with utterly selfish motive and

also involuntary or subconscious sociopathic intentions; which may creep in our mind (not that one should try to do

so!)!

We begin to realize that the chanting, reciting or remembering of the name of God; by us is actually manifestation of the innate voice and articulate innate aspirations of billions (inarticulately eager to blossom) and we are merely

acting as mouth piece. In fact it begins to appear that not only the human beings

but all the living and nonliving being are

pulsating with the name of God and we are merely acting as the speaker!

Namasmaran takes us beyond all subjective ideals and implicit in the

concept of humanity and takes us to the innate core of the cosmic consciusness (as well as humanity) that encompasses

everything!

Namasmaran enables us to blossom along with everything; living and

nonliving in the universe. It becomes clear to us that through namasmaran

there can not be mere individual emancipation (of course; no question about any harm!) without that of the

others. Namasmaran is inevitably associated with individual and universal

blossoming!
