punishment, death penalty for intoxication

As described above the personality of Kali is he who deliberately commits all kinds of sinful acts which are forbidden in the revealed scriptures. This Age of Kali will certainly be full of all activities of Kali but it does not mean that the leaders of the society, the executive heads, the learned and intelligent class of men or above all the devotees of the Lord shall sit down tight and become callous to the reaction of the Age of Kali. In the rainy season certainly there will be profuse rainfalls, as a matter of fact, but that does not mean that men should not take means of protection from the rains. It is the duty of the executive head of the state and others as above mentioned to take all necessary actions against the activities of Kali or the persons influenced by the Age of Kali; and Maharaj Parikshit is the ideal executive head of the state that he became at once ready to kill the personality of Kali with his sharpen sword. The administrators should not simply pass resolutions for anti-corruptional steps but they must be ready with sharpen sword to kill the persons creating corruptions from the angle of vision of recognised shastras. The administrators cannot do well in the matter of anti-corruptional activities by allowing licence for wine shops and at the same time make propaganda for stopping the habit of drinking. They must at once close all shops of intoxicating drugs and wine and force punishment even by death for them who will indulge in the habit of intoxication of all description. That is the way of stopping the activities of Kali as exhibited herein by Maharaj Parikshit the Maharatha.    (More...)
