Ek Maya kya kam tha .. jo Aastha err Dadi aa gayi
While I usually skip Maya's scenes and all Maya-may talk .. can't do the same with Dadi .. she is at her most annoying avatar with Shivanand and I am unable to miss any scene that has Shivanand in it .. for obvious reason - He is the only character who has a normal thing in him - BRAIN
In Mahakumbh where I was expecting war of (brainy) titans .. we get a girl who can be suspected to absorb all the water of river saraswati and keep flowing it from her eyes .. one woman always chanting "Astha" like parrots chant radhe-shyam .. a guy God knows why all of a sudden turned Devdas from Danav
Well as this post is about Dadi let's concentrate on her .. people say Bhagwan aapko sad-Buddi de .. I think Brain/ intelligence is a constant thing what can't be good or bad - honest or dishonest .. its use can only decide. But what about a person who has only "ASTHA" in place of brain ??
one who can't understand belief without science is synonymous to Superstition .. what about her?? This woman is rigid and orthodox with her trust but I am simply unable to understand where her trust lies ?? It was trust - science that once made people in Europe think Sun is moving around Earth - their stringent belief resulted in tragedies of great scientists .. in India people believed educated girls become widow in young age .. we know what was the result ?? A belief is never completed without Science .. if you eliminate science from our belief only trashes remain in your hand
Being an old woman is not an excuse to be such ignorant .. considering that she was the wife of someone so significant we can conclude that if not modern science, she have knowledge on Vedas, Hindu sastras and philosophy .. then how can she missed the base of such great culture it used to be once .. Vaishesika darshan of Sage Kanada, Shankhya Darshan by Sage Kapil .. these are ultimate science (1st one physics & 2nd one biology) .. so Dadi you don't even understand what you think you know, how can you judge your scholar son?? .. If I was you I would have been proud having a son like Shivanand who is so apt for his name - Shiva - the knowledge
Last night I was watching a US classic show where the genius doctor was hell irritated with a patient who is a nun and her lecture on faith .. who knew I will be at his place today (I am no genius .. thank god) .. Dr. House I understand your frustration .. believe me
