The author has doubts about NAMASMARAN (remembering the name of God) to a diminishing extent. While convinced it is the fundamental solution, the author is not completely satisfied unless it leads to beneficial social and political change. The author believes true personal liberation cannot exist without social revolution. Doubt will remain until signs of global change from NAMASMARAN become reality, not just potential. The author promotes not just NAMASMARAN but beneficial policies and programs developed and followed to achieve individual and universal well-being.

2. The answer to the question, “When
did I have doubts about
NAMSMARAN?” is “I have doubts
even today, but to a rapidly
diminishing and minute extent!”
But, what is the meaning of a doubt?
Not being completely satisfied is being
in a doubt!
Frankly speaking, even as I am
convinced about NAMASMARAN as
the universal, primary or fundamental
solution (other solutions being
adjuvant) for the individual and
universal blossoming, and even as I see
no other substitute to
NAMASMARAN, I am still not
completely “doubt free” or
“completely satisfied!!

3. As of now, I can not be oblivious,
indifferent, passive and inert with
respect to the role of NAMASMARAN
in political, social, economic, medical,
industrial, and agricultural and
educational and other policies. Since I
can not think of any possibility of any
liberation or mukti or Nirvana; in
absence of universally beneficial
policies in all such fields of life, I have
(though to a rapidly diminishing and
minute extent) doubts and am
unsatisfied about the universal
benevolence of NAMSMARAN.
Someone may object and say that
NAMASMARAN is meant for self
realization and not for social
revolution.

4. My answer to this is, “Through
NAMASMARAN one identifies oneself
with cosmic self (of which the universe
and society are parts). Hence there can
not be any “personal” liberation
without the social revolution! There is
no short cut. There is no bypass! All
such ideas and pursuits of “personal”
liberation are counterproductive, base
and illusory!
I can not be content with japa
(remembering the name of God),
pooja (praying or worshipping) and
anna-dana (sharing food with others),
though all these are essential and
contribute to grow selfless. I can not
be satisfied and doubt free, in small
personal gains!

5. I get agonies when I see the burning
problems of people at global to local
levels, just as get disturbed by physical
pain, financial crisis, humiliation in
personal life etc.
My doubts though are vanishing; are
still present because I though can see
the signs of global light emanating
from NAMASMARAN, these are
“signs” of; and not the actual event!
In fact that is the reason I propagate
not merely NAMASMARAN, but also
the subsequent development or the
sequel of practicing NAMASMARAN
viz. globally beneficial perspective,
policies, plans and programs, evolved
by the leaders in different fields, and
their meticulous following; by the

6. masses; and thereby; the successful
individual and universal blossoming!
