CONFERENCE OF THOUSANDS NOW LEADING A NORMAL LIFE
Addiction to alcohol is a curse of the working class and considered as a sin by all religions. While Hinduism considers liquor consumption among the top of the five ‘Unpardonable sins’, in Quran such persons are called as ‘Haram’ and in Bible as ‘Descents of Demons’. Alcohol and crime are closely related. People start consumption of alcohol for various minor reasons only to become addicts and to become physically and mentally ill. Addiction leads to isolation when they lose all their dear ones as well as their personality to become a burden to the society. Consumption of alcohol also destroys the economy and the family of the addict is driven to misery. Realising the dreadfulness of the alcohol consumption, Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, the spiritual head of Dharmasthala temple, a great visionary himself, promoted the people’s movement to fight abuse of alcohol way back in 1991 called as Janajagruthi forum. This movement concentrated on conducting ‘community alcohol deaddiction camps’ designed to intervene and transform the lives of the addicts. The entire community joins hands to conduct the camp by utilizing the local resources. Expert counseling, spiritual intervention, talks by former addicts, therapeutic classes, group activities, psychiatric intervention, family participation and counseling are the integral parts of the camp. The inspiration and motivation however comes from Dr. Heggadeji and Sri Kshethra Dharmasthala. As a result an astounding success rate of 80% among the campers who left alcohol has brought confidence among the commoner about usefulness of such camps. These camps have come as a blessing for alcohol addicts and their families who had lost their hopes in life. Therefore there is a great demand in the State of Karnataka to organise such camps. To meet such huge demand, Akhila Karnataka Janajagruthi Vedike a state level forum was started in the year 2012. Overall in the last two decades, 990 camps have been conducted by treating about 70,000 addicts. At a time when the forum is celebrating its bidecennial year, 1,000th camp is being organized at 10 different places in the state of Karnataka simultaneously, in the last week of September from 24th to 1st October. This multiple location camp is expected to cover more than 1,000 alcohol addicts. On the 1st of October campers from all the 10 locations and their families gather in Dharmasthala to celebrate their liberation from alcohol and commemorate the birth of Mahathma Gandhi, a great proponent of deaddiction. Dear friends, please come, participate and experience yourself the works of Jana Jagruthi forum and joy it brings in the working class.
