Obviously 'addiction' has a negative connotation , and implying that Nisarg was an addict, inspite of evidence to the contrary, is a clear case of prejudice and vilification.

You obviously are not a public figure, so my opinion's regarding your unnecessary judgement of Nisargadatta, does not matter much.
Nice try, though.

This is why I keep stating that you have no idea what you keep talking about here.
Nisargadatta is a world-famous enlightened master, and many like Ramesh Baleskar, Sailor Bob Adamson, Gilbert Schultz, Jed Mckenna have expressed their tributes to him.
He is someone on a pedestal, whether you like it or not, and some tom, peter or harry who may have a different opiniion cannot come barging into the hinduism forum stating that Niz is an addict.
It will be similar to Jesus being condemned as a false prophet in the christianity forum or Mohammed being described as the anti-christ in the islam forum.
You must know when to draw a line, especially in today's context.
We don't live in enlightened times, and there is an ongoing global war against terrorism that is going on and which will be there for a long time.
It is important thereby to stop deriding of religious figures for ulterior purposes.
You can comment on the nature of pleasure addiction and stuff of that sort, but bringing religious figures into this without any concrete evidence will obviously get you in trouble.
