ALCOHOL
AND
TOBACCO

I am not going to write about their benefits or about their toxic effects! Every one knows to a greater or lesser extent about those issues.

I feel the fanatic righteousness of the supporters or that of the opponents of alcohol and/or tobacco, which are loggerheads, adds to the tragedy, rather than solving the problem.

So in stead of going into the domestic, economic, medical, cultural and other angles and issues involved I am interested in and concerned about the power of empowerment and enrichment! The power of solace! The power of stress management! The power of fusion! The power of bonding! The power of unification! The power of uniting the so called sinners with the so called pious! The power of making a school, a laboratory, a farm, an industry and even a battlefield a place of worship! I feel that every one irrespective of any habits or addictions can try and experience the benevolent power of NAMASMARAN (without harboring guilt or pride) about their habit or addiction!
