There can be no greater medicine for physical stamina and mental strength than namothunam. This sadhana will bring a positive improvement in the child's health. Those mothers who have practised this sadhana have reported that their children hardly ever needed any medicine nor did they ever throw up.

Cleanliness of the Body
If we speak of current trends, one of the most problematic issues is that of diapers. Imagine that a mother stays unworried while her child urinates and passes his bowels in the diaper! It is so unfortunate. When will he learn the lessons of personal hygiene? Earlier the mother took care of the baby, now she is carefree. Can this be termed as progress? If yes, then when years later, the child does the same with the parents, why do they feel sad? When he leaves them alone in
