Clapping For Holistic Health
The religious decrees, commandments, precepts
, rituals, conventions, traditions are generally evolved with enlightenment as their root, fountainhead, core, basis or foundation. In case of Hindu traditions; (and possibly Chinese, Mesopotamian, Mayan and such other traditions) the enlightenment is cumulative and of thousands of anonymous seekers of truth, sages and seers, besides thousands of known ones! In case of some other religious traditions it is the enlightenment of a prophet.
In other words, the traditions arise out of enlightenment and are aimed at and expected to culminate in enlightenment. In other words the traditions are born out of holistic health and are aimed at holistic health.
However, as the time passes, the enlightenment, the wisdom and objective of the traditions becomes inconspicuous and obscure. This leads to blind and mechanical following of the traditions, which in turn results in degeneration and distortion of the traditions. These distorted traditions eventually become coercive, suffocating and disruptive and at best redundant.
One such tradition the basis of which has become obscure is clapping.
It is true that we clap on many occasions which are not religious traditions. We actually clap spontaneously to cheer as an expression of appreciation, excitement and joy!
But more regularly, we Hindus clap during musical prayers called bhajans and aratis.
Whether the clapping is thoughtfully included in prayers or otherwise, the clapping has some distinct physiological benefits conducive to development of holistic health.
The hands have relatively large areas of representation in cerebral cortex. Clapping therefore stimulates the corresponding large areas of brain; and is probably useful in activating, energizing and vitalizing the central nervous system and the central nervous control mechanisms in the brain. The quantitative and qualitative aspects of clapping; on neuroendocrine, endocrine and metabolic activities; and on various psychosomatic diseases; has to be investigated. It is also logical to guess and hypothesize that clapping could benefit to some extent in cases of depression of varying degrees.
Those involved in physiology of exercise, sports, athletics and gymnastics and fitness in general can study the specific advantages of clapping from performance point of view and clapping can be advised as a part of routine workout for the their students and clients!
The investigators and the practitioners in the field of acupressure and/or reflexology can do it similarly in their field.
For rest of us we can clap enthusiastically whenever it is feasible and comfortable with great respect and gratitude for the ancestors of mankind and try o search the wisdom hidden within other traditions! This is possible by total blossoming through the practice of NAMASMARAN.
But, what is NAMASMARAN?
Namasmaran means; remembering the name of God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and holy objects such as planets and stars. It may be remembered silently, loudly, along with music, dance, along with breathing, in group or alone, either with counting by rosary (called SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without counting. The traditions vary from region to region and from religion to religion.
However the universal principle underlying
NAMASMARAN is to reorient your physiological being with your true self. In fact while reorienting with true self you aim to establish and strengthen the bond or connection; between; your physiological being; with your true self. You aim at reunification with yourself!
Since remembering your true self is the pinnacle of or culmination of individual consciousness, and individual consciousness is the culmination of every activity in life, remembering any name of God or Guru (any symbol of your true self) is equivalent to opening the final common pathway for the individual consciousness associated with every possible activity to get funneled into or unified with objective or cosmic consciousness.
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 you 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 remembering the true self through one symbol or another!
Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA it is meditation of meditation also! It is the natural and ultimate climax of every form of meditation.
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 be experienced, most preferably not by one or two; but, by billions!
