SUPERLIVING (TSM) is a victorious, dynamicand blissful expedition to realize A Grade happinessi. e. simultaneous individual and universal welfarei.e. freedom from B, C, D and E grades of petty“pleasures and pains”.

At this juncture, it is enough to understand that Stress is a

universal interaction comprising sensory stimulation [perception],

homeostatic change [feelings] and responses [behavior] and

SUPERLIVING (TSM) is the simultaneous refinement of the

perceptions, feelings and responses. But these occur during

unconscious state, sleep, dreams and even in embryonic state. This

is why SUPERLIVING (TSM), i.e. watering and blossoming of our

life tree, must be Studied and practiced consciously, voluntarily

and with topmost priority!

Let us not get confused or inhibited; at this juncture; by terms

such as stress signals, questionnaire on stress, eustress and

distress, causes (stressors), effects, underlying mechanisms,

homeostatic machinery, support systems and other relevant

theoretical details of stress and TSM, which are described in my

other books and articles, and begin SUPERLIVING (TSM) stepwise!

Namasmaran with the topmost priority at the time of getting

up and going to bed reminds us of and reunites us with the

fountainhead of vitality or cosmic consciousness and thereby returns

us from self pity or arrogance about our petty physical and

materialistic attributes such as body figure, income etc.; to our

magnanimous true self.

Anulom-vilom, Kapalbhati, and Udgeeth on empty

stomach for at least half an hour a day, is advantageous in many

(3)

ways, but most importantly it boosts the zeal and intensity

of Namasmaran! Menstrual cycle, pregnancy, wounds, traveling and

many other situations in day to day life may not permit practice of

these, but we should not get disheartened. The situations will always

be in our stride so far as we adhere to Namasmaran. .

Plenty of (preferably warm) water, immediately after we

get up in the morning sharpens our consciousness by stimulating

the Gastrointestinal Tract receptors. It washes away useless or harmful

material accumulated and facilitates bowel motion. Water facilitates

excretion of waste products by kidneys and skin.

Water gets absorbed and provides the medium for the variety

of chemical reactions in body and preempts the effects of subclinical

dehydration caused by stress.

Clean and pure drinking water should be freely available.

Further, water coolers should be abandoned thus saving health,

electricity and the potters!

Rubbing of palate, gums, undersurface of tongue and

teeth involves activation of huge brain areas associated with these

regions and is an important way of rousing our consciousness when

we get up in morning. It increases blood supply and washes away

the waste products from sinuses, gums, tongue, salivary glands,

and other oral regions and imparts health.

Bath kindles our consciousness and opens new

horizons of life. It washes away the lethargy, lassitude and

melancholy and rejuvenates us. Bath stimulates the sensory

receptors and improves blood circulation to all parts of body.

Cold bath in morning is refreshing; while warm bath in evening

is relaxing and alleviates soreness.

(4)

Physical exercise is basically meant for nurturing and

channelizing the vital force in body to instill vigor in the expression

of our globally beneficial perspective and feelings.

Advantages of physical exercise in terms of looks, shape

of body, strength and other physical attributes are secondary. So

we should avoid mad exercise with the hope of some petty physical

gains.

We should work out muscles of eyes, face, tongue, neck,

shoulders, arms, forearms, hands, fingers, back, abdomen, anal

sphincter, thighs, legs, feet and toes, with due thought to the nature

of our occupation, daily commuting, our age, other situations such

as pregnancy, delivery, menopause etc. We can avoid monotony

and drudgery, by combining it with Namasmaran or even watching

TV! We must avoid lift (which vitiates the atmosphere by loose and

petty talks and physical crowding) and climb, which is eco-friendly,

inexpensive, free of hassles, saves electricity and also enables us

to practice Namasmaran and Mauna. Walking also has these

advantages.

Proper policies such as developing parks, gardens, walking

tracks, five days working week, can promote locomotion and reduce

hypokinetic stress.

Massage acts on neuromuscular system and calms and

soothes the irritable and disturbed mind. It provides solace and averts

disturbing surges of urges!

It improves blood circulation in almost every nook and corner

of the body.

Foot massage is useful in callosities, corns, scaling, fungal

infections, bruises due to cold, heat, dust, ill fitting shoes, synthetic

shoes, allergens and standing or walking for long time. It ensures

(5)

flexibility of small joints and adequate circulation and micro-

circulation in the feet. Foot massage is especially useful in diabetics.

Correction of posture is useful in backache, spondylosis,

tension headache etc. It elevates the disturbed mood, which in turn

alleviates or heals the pain! Correction of posture can facilitate

the free flow of nervous impulses through spinal cord and possibly

boost our conscious evolution! Hence we should sit with our back

and loin touching the back of the seat when we are listening, reading,

writing, talking, walking, eating, praying and travelling!

Survival and fear of death vanish [not easily!] if we learn

that the Sun, is responsible for the light rays passing through us

and the light i.e. life shall continue eternally even if our bodies-

the windows perish!

But since this realization emerges through healthy society

and healthy body, we must learn a skill, technique, art, business

etc., as a means of survival involving decent income nurturing

individual and social health through satisfactory social

contribution.

Hunger is an instinct of survival in animals, but we have the

freedom to choose the quantity, quality, type, place, maker, provider,

server etc of food; on the basis of its properties conducive to alertness,

buoyancy, composure, decisiveness, courage, love and growth of mind

rather than succumbing to savage craving, predator instinct, taste,

flavor, shape, texture, color and deceptive goals such as ideal body

proportion, skin complexion and heroic success etc.

Home-made preparations containing green leafy vegetables,

fresh fruits, sprouted beans, unpolished food grains are good.

(6)

Excessive consumption of any one type of food but

especially strong smelling/tasting and heavy food is bad.

The mental and physical states and affectionate sharing with

others; add to the pleasure and benefits of food. We should eat

together and in a prayerful and grateful attitude. This makes it a yajna

i.e. an act of a highest merit, which reunites us with our objective

blissful consciousness! For making this possible, proper policies,

research, training, practice, production and distribution of food/

agricultural products; are crucial.

We have to appreciate noble aspects of parenthood, family

relations, social commitments, economic conditions, emotional

solace, mutual respect, individual aspirations and marital relationship

inseparably associated with sex. This appreciation must be reflected

in laws, rules, regulations, conventions, literature, art and electronic

and print media and our day to day transactions so that the forces of

carnality and mercenary sexuality inside and outside us; destroying

our peace; can be sublimated into wholesome and profound sexual

relations, cosmic romance and ever enriching fulfillment.

We have to re-explore parental instinct i.e. our love and care

for our children by overcoming misguided compulsions of

individualistic pursuits and indulgence in physical pleasures, which

destroy our instinctual health and happiness! The mothers ought to

practice breast feeding for their own as well as their child’s total health

and safe and private places must be provided for peaceful, serene,

secure and satisfactory practice of breast feeding.

The overall atmosphere, with which we are deeply

habituated is called habitat and our company in the habitat

constitutes the herd! The best way of averting stress related to these;

(7)

is employment or self-employment in or around native

places. When we are out of habitat or herd, we can overcome the

stress through SUPERLIVING (TSM), which makes us humble and

stop boasting (about our petty achiev-ements) or grumbling (about

our petty grievances)!

We go on getting enamored and dragged after people,

friends, relatives, careers, money, glamour, power, hobbies,

thoughts, philosophies and so on apparently to complete our

sense of inadequacy and overcome loneliness. As we evolve

practice of homeostasis i.e. our contribution to the policies of holistic

health, holistic medicine and holistic education etc. seem to

provide solutions. But actually we continue to sometimes get

excited and sometimes depressed. We need opening up (with

intoxication) and sharing of the euphoria or agony; with friends!

But later such ‘friends’ and ‘opening up’ boomerang! They start

damaging mind, body and social life! We can ride over all this

through NAMASMARAN.

The bitterness, discord, dissatisfaction etc. in family life

can be overcome by involvement in common goals and common

missions, which bind us together, by warm bonds.

In the past the highest personal ambition was to stick to

and discharge the duties according to the religious conformities

and the schedules. There were no conflicts of aims and ideas.

Every member shared the enthusiasm, commitment, dedication

in the traditional profession and the religious conventions. Hence

everyone shared and divided pain resulting from mishaps and

shared and multiplied the happiness arising out of festivity and

fulfillment of the commitments. In fact, successful conformity with

the traditions was considered an adorable achievement!

We have only few of those traditions and customs but

not in their original and socially benevolent forms to bind our

families together. Most of us are falling prey to individualistic

pursuits resulting into petty failures or petty successes making

us meek and miserable or mean and maniac. New common goal

of SUPERLIVING (TSM) can bring about SUPER FAMILY LIFE.

The objective of marriage is usually identified merely with

sexual intercourse, reproduction, rearing and luxurious living. This

narrow objective and pleasure therein are never capable of

resolving conflicts in marital life!

We have to understand that the institution of marriage is

a liberating bond that propels us beyond our petty ego and helps

us achieve collective emancipation! With this conviction alone

we can assimilate the sublime richness of sacrifice, tolerance,

forgiveness, service, forbearance inherent in living with our soul-

mate and conquer our carnality, anger, violence, obsessions,

whims, fancies, perversions and even our so called noble

ideologies and ideals coming in the way harmony and happiness.

It is usual experience that birds with same feathers flock

together. But marriages break irrespective of commonality in

every kind of mundane pursuit. Hence we need a common activity

like SUPERLIVING (TSM) which can ensure SUPER MARRIED

LIFE!

Sympathy and Kindness (usually helpless) about

poverty, illiteracy, diseases, usually result in charitable measures

such as donations, subsidy, and reservations; which are palliative

and temporarily useful but they can not destroy the roots of social

suffering. Hence, (though they cannot be discarded at once), we

must appreciate that they can not work on long term basis and

actually counter produce irresponsibility, diffidence, beggary, lack

(8)

of initiative, shamelessness, parasitism, hatred, jealousy,

social discord and so on!

So our sympathy and kindness have to be transformed into

wisdom by understanding that educational institutions, which do not

empower the students, teachers and families economically, lead

to almost all social evils and hence have to be CURED! Education

is development of cognitive, affective, psychomotor and

productive domain and lays the seeds of individual liberation

and universal welfare.

The crippling and parasitization caused by present

institutions lead to a vicious cycle of bribing for permission, grant,

land, caste certificates, illegal recruitments, irregularities in

salaries, illegal donations, illegal coaching and starting such new

parasitic ‘power centers’! But this is not all. Unproductive and

unprofessional parasitic education sucking our funds via

government route is the most important cause of child dropouts.

The dropouts who do not get jobs add to the population of cheap

child labor and non-dropouts who continue to get ‘educated’ add

to the population of the arrogant criminals or diffident mental wrecks.

This leads to rat race and ugly politics!

As a result, the interest, initiative and conviction in every

one concerned teachers leading to defeat of the empowering

education and triumph of the corruption and victory of the

trivialization of humanity.

Syllabi and curriculums favoring rote learning, hypokinetic

stress, separation from parents, lack of individual attention, lack

of dialogue and discussions add to overall degeneration.

(9)

But even before anything is done by government,

everyone affected by this education system can at least begin to

acquire humility and boldness. They can exercise careful

listening, thinking, questioning, discussion, experimental

verification and acceptance or rejection of whatever is taught or

ordered! Blind obedience or disobedience, blind acceptance or

rejection and blind belief or disbelief need to be completely

discarded (excepting in emergency situations such as war).

There are exceptions but we can observe around and

within us and confirm or rule out the validity of the above

discussion.

Distress of Gullibility can be overcome if we understand

our actual aptitude, our capacity, penetrate the facades of hype of

the careers and know the true nature of work, risks involved and

good or bad impact on the society. This way we can avoid unfounded

fascination, infatuation, attraction or obsession for any career which

is NOT our real choice and avoid resultant destructive frustration or

bloated arrogance. Every job or business [excepting overtly

destructive ones] has a socially beneficial dimension, awareness

of which leads to involvement, enthusiasm and fulfillment in our

job or business and lack of this wisdom leads to lowliness,

gullibility and temptations. Advertising and media must promote

the globally beneficial products and services to help the

customers or readers or viewers, in their selection. Job

satisfaction also requires cordial relationship, celebrations,

incentives, division of labor befitting the aptitude, accountability,

implementation of constructive suggestions, corrective and deterring

punishments with impartiality

(10)

and above all, a goal of liberation of self and welfare of all,

in which the employee and also the employer can blossom together!

Another result of gullibility is either vain hope of progress

through petty concepts of health or total frustration. Holistic health

is living for welfare of self and the world. Hence policies in the every

field such as education, medical education, agriculture, industries;

must be oriented towards holistic health. The readers can clarify

their ideas from my other books and articles.

Shackles of Unfounded asceticism is a problem in

many communities in India. We have to develop zeal and zest to

acquire material prosperity with fair means. Through this we can

overcome corruption , which is actual ly tr ivial izat ion or

vulgarization of ourselves, which gets expressed in perspective,

laws, policies, major decisions, regulations, rules, literature, art,

skills, media, advertisements and personal and social goals and

also monetary transactions.

To summarize, SUPERLIVING means going to the very core of

different conceptual frameworks, goals, movements, missions,

beliefs, conventions, traditions, customs, glitter, enticements,

compulsions and even perversions and conquer them. It is neither

a charity measure nor a mercenary venture. Hence participation is

welcome but donations are not. It does not dwell judgmentally,

disproportionately or merely; on individual virtues, vices, abstinences,

indulgences, habits, diet, physical gains, personal benefits, profits,

heaven on earth, dos and don’ts, strokes, patting, relaxation techniques,

recreation, rituals, festivals, sports, music, movies, dramas,

dances, perfumes, cosmetics, ornaments, arts, fashions, quizzes,

and such adjuvant support/pleasure systems.

(11)

Ultimately, prioritization, assertion and reinforcement of study,

practice and sharing these concepts (and not mere claims or mere

casual reading) provide solution to pathocracy (governance of

self and universe by perversion) and lead to culmination of

individual freedom into self realization and democracy into

global welfare!
