2. The words such as ghosts, spirits (and synonyms
such as bhoot, pishaccha, hadal, devachar,
sammandha, mrutatma in Indian languages)
indicate inexplicable, intangible yet undeniable
effects or events.
When a common man thinks of various problems
unexplainable on physical, chemical or any other
basis, he or she tends to attribute the problems to
the entities mentioned above.
The modern medical experts, who laugh/ridicule at
these terms, must introspect and admit to
themselves that they do not know the anything
about physiological location, extent, dimensions,
chemical/physical characteristics of mind, to which
they attribute all these phenomena.
Let us not take pride on our semantics! Let us not
fight over the semantics. Let us not hide our

3. ignorance and boost our self destructive arrogance
with the crutches of so called modern descriptive
terms such as idiopathic, schizophrenia, hysteria etc.
or traditional terms such as ghosts, spirits etc.
Let us understand that whether we conceive the
inexplicable phenomena in terms of modern terms
or traditional terms, what matters is, whether we
can conquer them, and if so how!
Just as we can not define and demonstrate ghost, so
also, we can not define and demonstrate
subconscious, unconscious and other phenomena
attributed to described in relation to mind in
psychology and psychiatry. They are only ideas,
experienced or agreed upon by some.
In my experience, self empowerment is the most
important and common answer irrespective of
semantics.
According to me, various problems including mental
problems begin to get minimized and milder, in the

4. process of practice NAMASMARAN in accordance
with one’s tradition. The various means and
techniques for empowerment and enlightenment
such as yogasana, pranayama, and various other
remedies can work as adjuvant measures. But they
require suitability of certain physical circumstances,
and these suitable circumstances also keep getting
evolved around the transtemporal cosmic
consciousness (which we merge with through
NAMSMARAN).
NAMASMARAN enables us to conquer (and even
emancipate) ghosts; categorized as unexplainable or
partially explainable psychosomatic and other
individual and social problems. NAMASMARAN is
the hallmark and also the core of individual and
cosmic blossoming!
As and when the majority would begin to practice
NAMAMSRAN the disputes created by and based
on semantics would begin to get dissolved because of
the commonality of the sublime experience!

5. One can verify this, but not merely for oneself, but
by sharing this conviction with maximum people.
