....that if you ask an impertinent question, you are on the

way to a pertinent answer.

Jacob Bronowski said that, and he was right. Therefore,

never be afraid to ask the question that it seems shouldn't

matter. Especially if it has to do with religion or God.

CwG says, "The question! The question! Always live

within the question!"  It is when you think you have 

all the answers that expansion ends, growth stops, and

your arrogance begins.

What question do you wish to humbly ask today?

  ...that life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds

and words return to us sooner or later with astounding

accuracy.

Florence Scovel Shinn said that, and she was right. So

before you think, do, or say anything -- imagine what it

would be like to receive what you are sending.

Then, go one step further. Decide ahead of time what

you would like to receive...and then send it. Quite

deliberately. That is, give to, or cause in the life of,

another what you would like to now experience.

Then...watch the magic.

Not even the smallest untruth, not even the most

well-intended "white lie," will produce benefit in the

long run. So tell your truth as soon as you know it.

Yes, yes, I know...."But then...but then..." So you'll

A woman is driving 1st time on the highway. Her husband calls & says:-"Be careful love, it's just been on the radio that some one is driving the wrong way on the highway"....... She replies :- "Someone..?" "These idiots are in hundreds "
"

A melody and beautifully depicting the love

This is the time when songs like "Kolaveri di" becomes an instant hit...and songs like this, where musicians painstakingly put lot of effort in creating a melody...goes un-noticed. Some people think that Ilayaraja's time is over..Listen to this now .A wonderful melody composed by the legend and sung by his current favourite singer Shreya Ghoshal. Exemplary usage of Raga Sivaranjini which is usually used for sad/emotional songs... Hats off !

Shrijit Nair in the facebook.

When I saw this, I felt as though I was caressed by Peacock feather, by the way in which the beauty of the love was depicted by the Director, Photographer and Editor (also by the actors)and telling so many things ( for example the hero is a non believer in God, yet love wins). I do not know whether I will be able to sit, through out the movie. But, I am tempted to see this movie

Be happy for ever

Mr. Vaidyanathan...
Some further details from The Hindu archives on this film:

"The story of “Vani” was written by Hirannaiah who directed the film jointly with N.M. Gopal. As expected Chowdiah composed the music along with one of the veterans of the Kannada stage and cinema. ‘Harmonium’ H.K. Seshagiri Rao.

One of the interesting features of “Vani” was the on-screen appearance of the giant of Carnatic music, Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar. Chowdiah, a charismatic person with strong persuasive powers succeeded in bringing Chembai to appear in “Vani.” Chembai renders a Carnatic music performance in the film accompanied by Chowdiah on the violin and the accompanying artiste who played on the inndangam was the greatest ‘tala’ vidwan of all times and percussion maestro, Paighat T. S. Mani Iyer. Chowdiah composed in Shanmugapriya raga. the song “Nikhilla Papa Vinasini” which was sung by Chembai. The duration of the sequence which contains a solo performance on the mridangam by the immortal Mani Iyer is nearly ten minutes. May not be pure cinema but certainly a musical treat.’

Chowdiah offered Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavathar Rs. 5,000 (quite a fortune in 1940’s) as remuneration but the famed vidwan who thought poorly of movies refused to touch it However he was persuaded to accept the money which he donated to the Parthasarathy swami temple in Chembai village for making a goldarmour’ for the presiding deity.

“Vani” narrated the story of a musician and the problems and pressures of his life. "

India’s dubious Secularists

Maqbool Fida Husain and Salman Rushdie are a telling comparison and contrast to capture the true character of secular India. Both are Muslims by birth. Both were born in colonial India’s Bombay Presidency. Husain, some 32 years when Rushdie was a child, died last year. Husain was an artist. Rushdie is a writer. Both had become famous, globally — Husain through his paintings and Rushdie through his writings. Husain lived all his life in India before he exiled and became a Qatari in 2006. But Rushdie lives in the UK as a British citizen. While Rushdie excited the highly sensitive Muslims to turn against him, Husain managed to irritate the not-so-sensitive Hindus. Take Husain first.

This is how Husain annoyed the soft Hindus. He used his fertile imagination and painting skills to undress all well-dressed Hindu gods, goddesses, depict them naked and used his popularity to market them. He drew a naked Goddess Lakshmi sitting on Lord Ganesha’s head. He painted Durga in sexual union with a tiger. He portrayed a naked Goddess Saraswati holding a veena. He painted a naked Parvati with her son Ganesha. He depicted a naked Hanuman, seeing a naked Sita sitting on the thigh of naked Ravana. He painted a naked Bharatmata twice — once in the shape of India with names of the states of India on her naked body, alongside a naked sadhu in the Bay of Bengal. But his art on Muslims was a telling contrast. He drew a fully clad Muslim king alongside a naked Brahmin. He completely covered, even with purdah, the Muslim women he drew, which of course included his mother and daughter. He fully attired the Muslim poets he painted.Some Hindus, who saw his perverted art demeaning the Hindu divinities, began protesting at his exhibitions and filing criminal cases. Seeing mounting protests and cases, Husain moved out of India. The government of India, judiciary, political parties and, of course, the media, all rushed to defend Husain’s right to freedom — his right to offend Hindus and demean their gods. There were protests against Husain. But no one issued an order to kill him. No one was injured, no one was hurt and none was killed. Yet, the protests were labelled by ‘seculars’ as ‘saffron terror’.Now come to Rushdie, a contrast. His life is living hell since he wrote his controversial book The Satanic Verses. Though living, he has, by now, died a million times since February 4, 1989 when Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fiat (fatwa) to Muslims to kill him. But, why should Khomeini order the killing of a fellow Muslim? With almost a generation gone since 1988 when Rushdie wrote the infamous book, it is time to recall some history. Rushdie’s book was about a disputed tradition in Islam. According to it, Mohammed (depicted in Rushdie’s book as Mahound) had first added three verses (Sura) in the Quran, accepting three goddesses that used to be worshipped in Mecca as divine beings, but later revoked the verses saying that Devil (Satan) had tempted him to utter the verses to appease the Meccans — so the title ‘Satanic Verses’ for the disputed verses. The Rushdie book set off violent reaction from Muslims.Mustafa Mahmoud Mazeh blew himself up in a central London hotel while making a bomb intended to kill Rushdie in 1989. Hitoshi Igarashi, the Japanese translator of Rushdie’s book was stabbed to death in July 1991. Ettore Capriolo, the Italian translator, was stabbed and seriously injured in the same month. And Aziz Nesin, the Turkish language translator, was the target in the events that led to massacre of 37 people in July 1993. William Nygaard, a Norway publisher, was almost killed in Oslo in October 1993. In Belgium, two Muslim leaders who had opposed Khomeini’s ‘Kill Rushdie’ fiat, were killed. Two bookstores in California, and five in England, were fire-bombed. Twelve people died during rioting in Mumbai. This list does not exhaust the violence.Starting from then and till now, Rushdie has been hitting headlines for the wrong reasons. Now again Rushdie is in the news. Rushdie had been invited to the Jaipur Literature Festival 2012, Asia’s largest, a week back. Muslims threatened agitations and Rushdie’s presence would have meant violence. So the Indian Intelligence Bureau invented an input saying that four hired assassins were roaming around to kill Rushdie. This was proved fake, calculated to prevent Rushdie from coming to India. The four participants who had read out from The Satanic Verses at the meet ran away from India to escape arrest. William Dalrymple, the festival director, got death threats. Finally, Rushdie’s video address to the Jaipur festival was dropped as, according to organisers, it risked the lives of the participants from the Muslim protesters outside.The contrast is self-evident. Rushdie, who just wrote about a disputed tradition in Islam, was hounded for decades and is on a death threat even now, and people who had nothing to do with either the book or Rushdie have been butchered. Even today the fear of slaughter in his name haunts the world, as the Jaipur meet shows. But, all that Husain, who, in the name of freedom hurt the Hindus — “considered as the gentlest and most civilised on the earth” according to Mahatma Gandhi — faced were normal protests. The protests by Hindus against Husain were ant-bite compared to the scale of violence against Rushdie’s book, even though the hurt to the Hindu sentiments by the perverted paintings of Husain were explicit and undeniably monumental. But what is distressingly shameful is the politics of contrast. See how the secular media, parties, leaders and state glorified Husain’s right to abuse Hindu gods and goddesses to wound Hindus and how the same secular actors repeatedly decried Rushdie’s similar right to hurt Muslims. Now something even more shameful. The ‘seculars’, including the media, had ceaselessly condemned the normal protests against shows displaying Husain’s painting and pontificated to Hindus about the need for tolerance. But they wouldn’t utter a word against the violence by Muslims nor ask them to be tolerant. The reason is obvious. They are dishonest.  Muslims rightly felt offended by Rushdie’s reckless literary work. And Hindus were justly hurt by Husain’s perverted art.   Muslims, highly excitable, however reacted violently. Instead of holding both Rushdie and Husain wrong, the seculars faulted Rushdie and praised Husain. Why? Because, being insensitive to Hindus and pretending to be sensitive to Muslims is enough to make one secular. QED: Such secularism is perversion — and a dangerous one.

 Anonymous said...

These are unfortunate comments by one ignorant of the larger truths. Just painting a nude picture or depicting a God in various postures does not make for a criminal act. or anti-religious act. For information, Husain painted over 10,000 paintings, and not more than 200 of these depicted Gods in 'unnatural positions". People who have never seen his works became rabid because someone said these were anit-hindu. And hounded him out of India. he was a great Indian, humanitarian who loved his country. Incidentally, every major temple in South has Mithuna sculptures in it. Will anti-Husain people go and demolish these? Even RAvi varma has painted nudes.

One needs tolerance and understanding of artistic license. This is very much in short supply.

Incidentally, I am a devout Hindu Iyengar, who has as much interest in protecting his religion as the fellow next door. I think reviling someone like Husian = defending your faith.

I am also a regular follower of this blog, its posting and the invaluable service it does....

I was a great sympathiser of Husain until I saw a collection of his nude god paintings in this same forum that really opened my eyes. These paintings were extremely vulgal and without artistic merit except that they were painted by a socalled great artist. As for Rushdie, his fiction is equally without great merit and he has shamelesslly made capital out of the fatwah issued against him. The comments of British police personnel protecting him when he was under threat make interesting reading and Rushdie comes out as a boor and a lout. There are many excellent aspiring writers as well as talented but unknown painters who are equally deserving of your attention and praise or at least your encouragement.

 Anonymous said...

As for sclptures of Gods never shown naked, I beg to disagree. The most fundamental of all Hindu concepts, Shakti, is deified from the time of Vedas as Aditi or Lajja Gauri. She is always shown naked, with thighs spread. The meaning is that She is the Mother of all, giving birth to all people, mst sacred. She is seen depicted thus in many temples. You can even see Her at the Chennai Museum (Amaravati Sculptures) .
Also see a scholarly note on Aditi at:
http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/Newhomepage/shakti/lajjahGauri.html

SO, it is a matter of how you interpret what you see. I do not think of Aditi as a sex symbol. She is the Mother Goddess.

i hope we can leave this discussion at this point, and agree to disagree.

I regret for my ignorance. Since, I have not seen any such sculptures, I was under that impression. Would M.F. Hussein have treated our Gods as Mothers? I agree it is better we agree to disagree.
