[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,Good morning to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead…..The mind of a Bhakta should not be like a desert, nor should it be like a sea. It should be like a calm and serene pond full of lotuses --- SRI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI-------------------According to our scriptures, why is alcohol consumption prohibited? My friend argues with me that taking a little bit of it, once in a while is harmless! Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji: The food you eat and mind are directly related. The nature of your food directly affects the mind, positively or negatively as the case might be. Alcohol has a ‘tamasic’ nature and hence induces ‘tamasic’ thoughts in your mind. That is why it is to be avoided. Isn’t it just

foolishness and adamancy to indulge in something knowing very well that it is not good for you? The little quantities are no more ‘little’ once a person is addicted. We see consequences of addiction to habits like alcohol, smoking and drugs everyday right in front of our eyes, don’t we? ------------------------- A beautiful Questions & Answers session with H.H Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji in Tamil 3.
