In selection of MB actors, apart from the actors, the characters also play a major influencing role in my choice.

Q. According to U which is d most imporatant quality a human being should have? Why?

Most important quality a human being should have is STEADFAST FAITH and SELFLESS DEVOTION to God. Without this quality, human birth is useless. Bhakti is supreme duty and hence it automatically follows Karmyog too. Experience of Bhakti destroys ego and is most blissful experience and hence it obeys automatically Gyanyog also. Bhakti is above all as per Bhagwad Geeta.

Q.Which is d Biggest sin according to U? Why?

Creating obstacles in the path of devotee ' kerbing the freedom of devotee ' forcing a devotee, whose natural instinct is to love God and only God, towards Sansaar using selfishly without any sound logic or sense, ghisapita weapon of kaliyug people "Sansaar me reh kar bhi bhakti ki ja sakti hai". Hurting of devotee can lead to the greatest natural curse due to two reasons with greatest effect:

(1) Devotee's hurting/pain/torturing/suffering/reaction to suppression will come out straight from his Pashyanti vaani rather than the vaani on the surface ' Madhyama and vaikhari and hence most effective

(2) Greatness of devotee's character

Q. Which is d most important thing in Devotion? Why?

(Did you know my answers of previous two questions in advance or what? Amazing farsight in setting the flow of questions)


Answer is Gyan. True knowledge. For the steadfastness in devotion, devotee needs to be true gyani. Nahi gnyaanen sadrusham, pavitram ih vidhyate. Bhakts are of 4 types according to Adhyay 7 of Geeta:

(1) Aartah (Those who devote to God when in pain ' but may forget when involved in entertainment),

(2) Jignyaasu (Who are curious about certain logical or scientific or philosophical questions about life and hence is searching the right form of God or devoting to Niraakaar or curious to know about some interesting form of God and his pleasure giving leelas and hence devoting to that fungiving form of God ' their main source of devotion is the questioning satisfaction or entertainment),

(3) Arthaarthi (Those who want some material achievements as grace or blessings)

(4) Gyani (Those who have imbibed the truth strongly inside "Vaasudev sarvam iti" and love God purely for the sake of love in all conditions of life ' joy or sorrow ' without any expectation in return from God and without any chance of their faith being shattered by anything. And this gyan only leads to sampoorna samarpan bhav)

Obviously, Gyani bhakt is the best as also clearly mentioned in the verse after that in Geeta. Hanumanji ' the supreme ideal of devotion was also supreme in knowledge. I also love to see the devotion of Gargaachaarya, Sharbhang, Shabri, Prahallad etc. therefore the most. Here the knowledge is not the knowledge about documented scriptures or verses or grammar of sanskrit or vedas. Here the knowledge means the knowledge about the supremacy of selected form of God experienced and steadfastly believed. Here knowledge is equivalent to the experience of supreme selfless love like Radhaji or Gopis.

Q.Why is ShriKrishna Ur fav God?

Because he is Poorna Purushottam ' Prem purush, Paraakram purush & Praagnyapurush ' all ' I love the description by Gargaachaarya to Akrur about his Premleelaa and then Vinashleelaa (Political agenda of Dharmasansthaapan). I love the balance in him. Nirmohi phir bhi full of love and mercy for devotees. Always free from all bondages of sansaar and yet premaanchal me bandh jaaye ' bhakton ka daas. He can be approached or devoted and loved by any gender and any person in any imagination (Like the song before Kansvadh). He teaches social duty also, he teaches devotion also, he teaches professional duty also, he teaches patriotic duty also. Everything. He simultaneously teaches Karmyog and Karmsanyaas yog and approves and certifies both to be leading to the same destination in Geeta ' whichever is naturally suitable to the person. Every single word in Geeta is my ultimate faith to be the supreme truth and supreme order with natural choice internally allowed among different alternative or opposite paths of salvation.

He is such a powerful personality that he drags dharma with him wherever he goes. Dharma follows him. His every action is for dharma's triumph at all levels ' social, political, spiritual (Even makhanchori leela can be interpreted in subtle way to be his deed of Dharmsansthaapan only ' establishment of equality between own child and friends of own child in selfish mothers' eyes. Yadi mujhse prem karti ho to mere sakhaaon se bhi prem karna sikho). He sets the essence of dharma beyond social rule books. Whatever he does (though not imitable by other humans ' For that he specifically has his previous incarnation), even seemingly deceiving way automatically becomes dharma due to its greatest cause.

Yato Krishna tato dharmah.

Yato Dharmah tato Krishnah.

Madhuraadhipaterakhilam madhuram.

My sources of love for Krishna in chronological order are: RS's Ramayan (As Ram & Krishna are one and the same or more importantly I should say that I was inspired to read Bhagwad Gita due to two reasons only ' one due to my already established love for Krishna's previous incarnation and two due to it being Hindu dharmagranth), Bhagwad Gita, Krishnaavataar novel, Mahamaanav Krishna (A research documentary book), BRC's Mahabharat and RS's Shri Krishna.

Q.Ur biggest strength?

Faith in God; Love for God.

Q.Ur biggest drawback?

Irregular routine schedule ' sleeping-getting up timings and irregular food habits

Q.Things U like d most?

Vairaag from sansaar and anuraag for God; Sacrifice; Down-to-earthness; Height of characters ' emotional yet emotionally stable; Balanced; Dutybound without complaining and always happy in any situation.

Everything which is suitable to this line ' Jehi anuraag-viraag ka sangam, bairaagi anuraagi ' Bharat sam nahi dooja koi tyaagi.

Nirmamo Nirahankaarah sam dukh-sukh kshami. Santushtah satatam yogi, yataatmaa dridhnishchay.

Q.Things U hate d most?

Materialistic people (those who waste human birth thinking that life is only for doing maximum Jalsaa and therefore far away from devotion) ' can't say hate because most people around are such so can't afford to hate them ' but can say that I would always wish them not to be so.

Social bondages and formalities spoiling the pure love in relations. People showing concern for each other's petty physical safety when they don't want to change their nature for the others. When they don't care to understand the other person's love for them or other person's virtue standards expected from them. People constantly expecting us to express our love for them only as per their meter and criteria of love (Let's say money or asking news about good health). When they are ready to spend anything for their relative dear one but not ready to give up their egos or vices for their relative or dear ones.

Happy Navratri! :)
Since I am Gujarati, I wanted to share with you all the Gujarati customs of Navratri before I share those of the other regions on subsequent days 😃 I will also give you details regarding the mataji's for which each day is for.
Traditional dandiya raas. green navratri
Navratri is celebrated in myriad ways, by the Hindus across India. The celebrations seen in north India would be exactly the opposite of the merrymaking of people in South India. The mood of people in the eastern state of West Bengal is entirely different during the festive season of Navratri, as the occasion is celebrated as the triumph of goodness (Ma Durga) over the evil (demon Mahishasura). While in the western state of Gujarat, it is a nine-day carnival, with glowing city lights, scintillating dance performances and grooving music. The performance of Garba, a popular folk dance of Gujarat, is the highlight of the celebrations of Navratri in the state. In the following lines, you will learn all about Garba dance of Navratri.

Navratri Garba Dance
In Gujarat, Garba is performed on festive occasions like Navratri, Sharad Purnima, Vasant Panchami and Holi. When the folk dance is performed during the nine nights of Navratri, it symbolizes the worship of Goddess Jagdamba. The dance is performed by generally women, but men also take part nowadays. The performers stand in a circular form, to perform the dance. The word 'Garba' is derived from 'Garbha Deep', a lamp placed inside a perforated earthen pot or Garba. The perforated pot is illuminated by the lamp inside it, which represents the embryonic life. According to the legends, Usha, the grand daughter-in-law of Lord Krishna, popularized Lasya Nritya, which is today known by the name - Garba.

In the primitive form of Garba dance, the women place the pot 'Garba', with lamp on their head and move in a circular motion. They sing and clap their hands simultaneously and synchronize their circular steps, very gracefully. The dance is accompanied by folk instruments. The pot is filled with a betel nut and a silver coin. On top of it, a coconut is place, giving it the appearance of a holy 'Kumbh'. In the interiors of Gujarat, there exists a tradition, according to which, women place the perforated earthen pot (with the lamp inside it) at the center on a stool and dance around it, by clapping their hands and singing songs in the praise of Goddess Jagdamba.

During the festive season of Navratri, Garba dance performances begin at the night. The performances are arranged by different organizations and cultural committees. During the 'Garba night', the participants gather at an open space, a club or at street corners. They stand in a circle, around an idol or photograph of the goddess that is kept in the center. The dance begins with beats in slow tempo. As the dance proceeds, the energy level of the participants is heightened due to the fast beat and tempo of the music. The music is synchronized by a drummer, who sits in the center of the dancers.

Navratri Garba is the most colorful form of the dance. The performers, both men and women, would clad themselves in colorful and magnetically attractive traditional attire. The most chosen attire for the dance is sari, worn in the typical Gujarati style. In Saurashtra region, the performers would wear magnificently embroidered petticoats (Ghaghara) with a choli (kapdu), accessorized with a head cover (odhani). They would adorn themselves with lots of silver jewelry on their head. Their male counterpart would wear kediyum (shirt) and vajani (trouser), with a rumal (printed headpiece). Drum, harmonium and naal are the musical instruments usually used for Garba dance.
Typically, in temples worldwide, garba is limited to only women.

Among the recent decade movies - most of the songs of Lagaan, Swades & Veer Zara.


And now finally special one ' all songs of movie Saawan ko aane do.

3.. If you could have one superpower, what would it be? I would like to enter into body (like a ghost) of all people or control their thoughts from outside like hypnotism and control their actions such that they would gradually become like me even without my presence in their body. 😃

4. What has been your greatest accomplishment till date?

Academically - Clearing CA, MBA with gold medal and NET in first attempt all in same year 2005

Professionally ' My first batch of own institute this year where I took the challenge of taking 100% syllabus of all the subjects of CPT ' CA entrance just in two months.

5. What is the most dangerous thing you have ever done?

Joining and daring to continue and finish CA ' Chartered Accountancy course 😆

6. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?

Pursuing MBA and joining GLS college for that (Former was of my father, and the latter was by my schoolmate but 1 year senior to me in MBA because I had a gap of 1 year after my graduation due to CA); Two years of MBA changed my life completely ' personality, confidence, expressiveness, maturity, balance, presentation abilities, everything. More importantly, it gave me strongest of friendship relations in life ' friends who could completely understand my thoughts, behaviour and spiritual aim of life. Most memorable two years. Years of fun. Years of hardship. Years of satisfaction with self achievement.

7. What movie do you watch again and again and not get bored of it at all?

Movies which are mentioned by me in my reply to Gunia ' all of them in that list. Since this is separate post, let me copy that here also as there won't be any harm to me in doing so or to the readers.

Spiritual:

Maalik (Rajesh Khanna-Sharmila Tagore); Meera (Hema Malini - Gulzar), Adi Shankaraacharya (Sanskrit - SDB).

Special section without any title (Direction, story, characters, acting everything ' At least 3-4 actors in the movie had their best role performed in their career in my opinion):

Hollywood:


Harry Potter (Particularly 2nd & 1st part); Godzilla (Hollywood); Home alone series; The Mumy and Mumy returns; Lovebug (Herbie series); Some movies of Bud Spencer & Terence Hill.

8. What's a life lesson you learned the hard way?

Don't try to change others' nature and don't expect them to be like you are or the way you expect them to be. Apne devotion me mast raho aur nature ka kam nature par chhod do ' get lost in own devotion ' and hope/pray for the best that others will join someday inspired by you - without any excitement, take them with you in the journey only when they are willingly coming with strong determination. Mai akela hi chala tha jaanibe manzil magar, log sath aate gaye aur kaarvan banta gaya. And don't worry if you are on one side and other 99 are on the opposite side. When you are on the right track, have courage to go against the tide. Be a trend setter and not trend follower.

9. What's do you like best about yourself?

My destiny. My good fortune that I am finding devotion in me for Krishna/Ram/Hanuman naturally in this birth and came across RSji's creations and Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta. Grace of our family beloved deity ' Shailputri (Today is her night only ' 😊 First of navratri nights) and blessings of my grand parents.

10. What's something you couldn't live without and why?

Freedom of devotion to God above all other duties of the world. If it is not there, it becomes impossible for a devotee to live in this world peacefully.

11. If you had a chance to go on vacation anywhere, where would you go?

A place in Saurashtra ' Temple of Mahadev ' I am used to visit that place as pilgrimage, for rest, for soul searching, for studies (I went there to prepare for my CA and stayed in guest house for about a month and cleared the examination). My family used to visit it regularly ' almost at least once in every year.

12. What is your most favorite temple?

As mentioned above ' Bhidbhanjan Mahadev - A temple in Saurashtra ' only a few KMs away from Dwarika, Somnath, Gir forest and Girnar mountain (Western coast of Gujarat) in Rajkot district ' Jetpur town ' only some hours away in distance from Ahmedabad.

13. What qualities do you detest in a person?

Ego and selfish attachments ' most other vices generate from this only ' Ahankaar aur Moh. Though I like to draw a line between Ego and neutral statement of fact uttered about self with self-confidence (Like Hanumanji says to Ravan ' mai swayam tumhe mrutyudand dene ki shakti rakhta hun). Lack of ego should be in thoughts rather than in behaviour or outward expressions.

14. What's one childhood memory that makes you smile?

I was in a school where our family had a command (because the school was close to home and not that popular) 😃 When I was kid, it was strict instruction of my grand mother to fulfill my every single wish. So whenever I didn't want to go to school (Obviously daily ' 😆) I used to go to my grandmother just before leaving for the school and used to ask her with great respect and politeness "Baa, kya aaj mujhe school jana hoga?" and she would give instantaneous order to change my uniform and to give me domestic wearings back. 😊 I hardly have been to school upto 4th standard. Very sweet memory this 😃 Not the memory of bunking school but the memory of my way of succeeding ' my innocent smartness. He he. Then when she left the earth, I was in 4th standard and started going to school after that and then always stood first in the class then onwards throughout my school education. That was the power of her blessings while leaving us.

15. If you had the chance to choose 5 people to invite to dinner - real of fictional - who would you invite and why?

Ram, Lakshman, Janki, jay bolo Hanumanki. And 5th would be our Bharat lalji. If he doesn't come without Shatrughnji, then I will have to ask for your permission to change the question a little bit. Or else I will have to tell Ramji to come in his both forms together at the same time inviting Krishna ji or I will have to do the similar for Hanumanji to bring either Shivji or Ganeshji with him. Now inviting such supreme invitees can't be restricted to limited number of people. I can't tell them to come in limited number otherwise I am gone. Mai to phir gaya hi kaam se.😊 Or else, the best solution ' I will pray my family deity Maa Shailputri to come with Ram-Lakshman-Janki-Hanuman. To ho gaye na perfectly 5. Par Ganeshji aur Kaartikeyji ke liye laddoo to ghar bhejne hi padenge.

Now among living people on the earth currently as humans, I would like to invite, Ravindra Jain, Sachin Tendulkar (because he is the only celebrity from cricket or bollywood whom I heartily love since childhood - more as a person - human character - rather than just as a talented player) and any of the three actors (supposedly spiritually more inclined if possible) of our mytho serials as guest.

16. What's the funniest experience in your whole entire life?

Now this question is the toughest. I can't pick any one funniest but I had lot of fun for the whole nights with my graduation and post graduation friends whenever we used to gather for studies or projects. Life is full of fun in daily life ' even otherwise serious person like I am from inside, can also find lots of contents of fun every day in regular routine meetings with family members, friends & students from frequent sentences and always laughing from outside.

17. If you do not like someone what do you normally do, show it or hide it and why?

I would initially hide it. But I would pick the right time to show my dislike to him/her. Or more appropriately, if I have to see that person more regularly or daily, I would bluntly or frankly or openly tell that person. If I don't have to come across him/her too much frequently, I would ignore the waste of mind and time. No magajmari. Peaceloving behaviour. I would initiate aggressive confrontation only when peace of mind is not possible otherwise through that person's behaviour.

I will come back with more later =D

Sure. I am enjoying this stuff. 😊 Do come back.
