SrI:
SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:

Dear SrI VaishNavas,
Many a time we hear from elders thus: "We don't ask `why' to a doctor
who imposes some tough measures to cure a dreaded (or normal)disease.
(vALAl aruththu chudinum??).But we always ask `why' to the `code of
conduct' insisted by SAstram which does so to cure us of the disease
of samsAram".

It is interesting to note that the highly-dreaded "SARS" epidemic has
warranted to impose a lot of AchAra-anushthAnams all over the world.

1. Don't hand-shake to pay your respect. (One newspaper in Singapore
reports that the Prime minister and ministers switched-over from hand-
shaking to "clasped hands", the traditional Indian "namaste".)
The great anAchAram, aDiyen had had until (recently)entering the
bhAgavathOthama kuzhAm.
2. Don't sip.
3. Don't exchange your personal items (used for eating etc.)
4. Avoid eating outside. (Restaurants etc.)
5. Use only `Madi' vasthrams, and glouses etc. (insisted for
healthcare workers).
6. Cleansing thoroughly after every excretion (mala-mUthra-
visarjanam).

and many more?..

So, after this episode, we may not hear more`why's.

A Sri-vaishNava doctor (!) would like to prescribe the following as
preventive measure.

"Take PerumAL theertham atleast twice-a-day, which apart from having
ingredients of high medicinal value, has `mahA viSvAsam' on Lord
srIman NarAyaNA as the primary constituent".

aDiyEn,
Mukundan rAmAnuja dAsan.
