Now is aastha exactly the same as shraddha? I feel that aastha would be more of unquestioning faith, and shraddha more of reasoned faith. The kind Shivanand means when he says Har parampara ka koyi na koyi aadhaar hota hai, and that once you know that aadhaar, your faith in the parampara becomes stronger. The line about shraddha aur vishwas makes no sense otherwise.

Happy,
the line "SreeSantPanth se pratishodh lena hamari bhavna hai uddesh nahin... "
is such a powerful line - a stellar dialogue and a wonderful thought
The quest for revenge is our sentiment not our objective ( actually udeshya means purpose ) -
He wants Rudra to get past his anger and look at his prarabdha - the purpose for which he was born.
He is asking Rudra to let his his actions be guided not by his heart but by his head essentially
Shiva is a man who has mastered all emotions ( from the look of it, he was probably born that way) and is able to focus logically on the bigger objective)
what wonderful thoughts and words Utkarsh is giving us...
As for aastha and Vishwas - you are spot on -- aashtha means faith - devotion
and Vishwas means belief - again the difference between head and heart
Both are needed to achieve greatness!!
