One of the major causes of STRESS is inaction, which is

caused by conceptual misunderstanding of the aphorism I am

BRAHMA. We are BRAHMA in our talks, imagination and

preaching. But due to insufficient blossoming; throughNAMASMARAN and SWADHARMA; we are mediocre

apolitical, petty, indolent, indifferent, irresponsible; and self

destructive; in our personal and social behavior.

We do not realize that I am BRAHMA is true only for

extremely few exceptional (transphysical, transphysiological)

individuals; and not for all.

All of us are; Brahma + (body + mind + society + and many

things included in internal and external environment) together

called maya). Hence our aim should be to transcend MAYA;

through the practice of SWADHARMA and NAMASMARAN;

by evolving the international and national perspective, policymaking, plans, programs and their implementation!

What is true about BRAHMA is also true for BRAHMANA.

Much has been written about BRAHMANA. Some praise

BRAHMANA and some blame them for all the maladies in

India. Some adore the BRAHMANA for acting as conduits ofthe knowledge and wisdom; from the ancient past to the

present; and some hate them for allegedly writing and

propounding scriptures such as MANAU SMRUTI and for

allegedly being responsible for the socio-political

discrimination and untouchability.

The word BRAHAMANA is explained in SAHASRANETRA.But a brief consideration of BRAHAMANA is worthwhile.

Even as BRAHMANA community; exists; and even as it is not

easy to overcome the prejudices, preconceptions, grudges;

related to a community; we ought to realize that every

individual in the world; has all four tendencies viz.

BRAHAMANA, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA and SHUDRA and

being BRAHMANA is not restricted to any community.

Being BRAHMANA (irrespective of ones community and

caste; by birth); is being in a continuous process of conscious

evolution; embodying; blossoming of perspective, thoughts,

feelings, aspirations, conceptions, articulations and overallbehavior conducive to individual and global blossoming.

Holistic politics, holistic economics, holistic education, holistic

health, holistic medicine, holistic agriculture, holistic

industries, holistic trades, holistic banking, holistic art and

literature, holistic sports and overall holistic way of living; are

hallmarks of a BRAHMANA.

Being BRAHMANA is; the vitalization, promotion, regulation,

coordination and harmonization of the KSHATRIYA,

VAISHYA and SHUDRA elements; inside and outside; and

realizing blossoming of individual and universe, as envisaged

by Saint Dnyaneshwar in his PASAYA DAANA.

We all; irrespective of birth; have a privilege and opportunityto evolve as BRAHMANA; through NAMASMARAN; and

participate in the process of blossoming of one and all. Merely

blaming BRAHMANA or any other community as such; is

suicidal for us; and also bound to throttle and jeopardize; the

process of individual and global blossoming!
