If we study and propagate the concept of Total Stress Management i.e. holistic renaissance or superliving (the core of which is NAMASMARAN) to merely 10 persons in a day only once; then in 10 days it would go across the whole mankind as a weapon for the action against corruption.

1. ACTION
AGAINST
CORRUPTION
DR.
SHRINIWAS
KASHALIKAR

2. WHAT IS CORRUPTION
Corruption embodies; degradation of one’s perspective,
thoughts, feelings and actions; being influenced by and
influencing; the surroundings either consciously or
subconsciously; and either knowingly or unknowingly!
Corrupt Perspective
Perspective is like the space of consciousness! Thus the
normalcy of this “space” of consciousness i.e. perspective; is
being universal! The degree of restriction of that “space of
consciousness” i.e. perspective; determines the degree of the
suffocation and throttling of consciousness, marking the
beginning of stress and corruption!
Thus; the restriction of the space of consciousness (perspective)
constitutes separation from nature, world, countries, religions,
regions, provinces, sects, linguistic groups, castes,
communities, creeds, sects and even our own family and from
our true self and embodies corruption and stress!
This disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and hence not
easily noticed. Since the medial systems today have not learnt
to diagnose and treat the disease viz. “corruption of
perspective”; they do not identify and treat this disease, which

3. often inflicts the medical systems themselves!
Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes our thoughts, feelings
and actions also increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert,
grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate, resentful, vindictive and
miserably selfish and pathogenic (many times concealed under
deceptive glamour and glitter) for ourselves and the society!
The paradigms or premises; of the sectarian supremacy, racial
superiority, financial expansionism, religious bigotry and
fanaticism and so on (without concern for the well being of the
entire world) constitutes corrupt perspective and highly
infectious stress!
Corrupt Thinking
The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets corrupted
(diseased and degenerated) gradually becomes increasingly
NARROW, sick and sectarian.
From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt perspective, the sick
and sectarian thinking germinates! Everything holistic gets
degenerated into everything sick and sectarian! This is corrupt
thinking and corrupt rationale; behind the coercive;
international, national and local; laws, conventions, traditions,

4. rules, pacts (formed without concern for well being of the
entire world)!
Thus the racially discriminating constitutions, the legal
discrimination on the basis of castes, legal yet unjust tax
system/s to exploit certain section for the benefit of another
section, the repressive laws against trade, shops and such
commercial activities, the legalized destructive promotion of
alcohol, the various laws and rules with respect to special
economic zones and so on are examples of “corrupt thinking”!
The present sectarian medical and education systems
(conspicuously lacking in integration and productive domain
respectively) are also glaring examples of corrupt thinking.
The so called corruption (embodying mere financial scams,
bribing and even other corrupt activities) is actually crude and
superficial symptom of the deeper disease viz. corrupt thinking,
which in turn is the crude symptom of deeper disease viz.
corrupt perspective!
Corrupt Emotions
The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies,
dramas, and advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian

5. aims, petty objectives, and vested interests ingrained in the
above intellectual themes; without concern for the welfare of
people at large; or even at the cost of the welfare of people at
large) constitute the corruption of emotions and instincts.
In our personal life; one such emotion, which we carry on from
childhood; throughout life, is the craze for accolades, awards
and honors!
In the course of time; awards accolades and honors become a
means of profiteering in many ways apart from euphoria; for
us!! They become a means of establishing upper hand,
dominance, and sway of one kind or another; on the society.
We enjoy this upper hand, dominance, power, which further
inflate our ego and give arrogant happiness, which is not easily
describable! But all of us have experienced this sense of
addicting elation when our ego is boosted!
Corrupt Actions
The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns,
movements, and such every activity in different fields; either
organized or unorganized (without concern for the welfare of
the world; or at the cost of the world) constitutes the corrupt

6. actions.
In personal life; we manipulate to get “prestigious” awards,
bribe to get “accolades” and use every irregular means to get
“honors”!
Isn’t it true that the degree of our petty greed and our mean
addictions like these; in various fields (apart from helplessness
and meekness born out of dire needs); determines the extent of
financial and other varieties of corruption in our society
irrespective of where we live in the world?
Considering the universal expanse of the corruption and the
STRESS associated with it; from the brief discussion above, it
should be clear how corruption and stress are really ubiquitous
i.e. not only outside but inside us as well!!
The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective,
followed by corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions.
ACTION AGAINST CORRUPTION

7. Corruption probably cannot be eradicated, as it is a human
weakness. Theoretically; even if it is eradicated today
completely; it is going to resurge; through the new generation.
But it can certainly be brought down to “least troublesome”
level. For this; we need to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate,
rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global
perspective and global conscience; maximally! For this; we
have to break open the throttling shackles, restricting the space
of our consciousness and minimize the corruption of our
perspective, thinking, feelings and actions!
This can be done if we study the scope and potential of
NAMASMARAN as is done in Total Stress Management; and
practice and propagate it as a common minimum program for
blossoming of an individual and the mankind.
Is this not happening at all?
It is happening.
Actually; many theists practicing, promoting and propagating
NAMASMARAN as well as the many atheists not practicing
NAMASMARAN; do NOT have this perspective. Hence they

8. may appear opposed to this idea. But actually; their actions;
though piecemeal in approach; are complementary and hence
contribute to Total Stress Management. For example; they
provide the fervor, motivation and driving force; and analytical,
operational and technological capability respectively! Of
course; they often do this unknowingly and are unaware of the
fact that they are serving the cosmic plan!
But this is far from being enough.
For an effective ACTION AGAINST CORRUPTION; we
have to take note of the qualities; by virtue of which
corrupt people; have been proving victorious over
HOLISTIC RENAISSANCE, SUPERLIVING i.e. Total
Stress Management!
The qualities of the corrupt people are many! Some of these
qualities are; leadership, clarity, focus, seriousness,
courage, commitment, lack of inhibition and preparedness
to face any consequences for their action, patience,
shrewdness and planning. They have no weakness in terms
of compromising with goal! They do not pardon anybody
going astray.

9. They are ready to take any risk and stake not only their
own, but their family’s life in their goal.
If we introspect honestly; then we would certainly admit; at
least to ourselves; that we lack many of these qualities. We
lack clarity, focus, seriousness, courage, commitment, lack
of inhibition and preparedness to face any consequences for
our action. Further; we lack patience, shrewdness and
planning. We keep compromising with our goal! While they
do not pardon anybody going astray from their goal we not
only pardon, but actually leak the feet of our friends going
away from our goal of “action against corruption”!!
We are NOT ready to take any risk and stake nothing!
Forget about life, we are NOT ready to give any time,
energy or money for; what we call as our goal viz. ACTION
AGAINST CORRUPTION.
If we study and propagate the concept of Total Stress
Management i.e. holistic renaissance or superliving (the core of
which is NAMASMARAN) to merely 10 persons in a day only
once; then in 10 days it would go across the whole mankind as
a weapon for the action against corruption; as follows.
1x10=10
10x10=100

10. 100x10=1000
1000x10=10000
10000x10=100000
100000x10=1000000
1000000x10=10000000
10000000x10=100000000
100000000x10=1000000000
1000000000x10=10000000000
But this is what can happen if we wish. In any case; Total
Stress Management i.e. holistic renaissance or superliving
(the core of which is NAMASMARAN); whatever be the
semantics; is writing on wall. It is an incoming thing
irrespective of our wish and will!! It is our fortune and
privilege; if we understand and participate in it!
