Woman of today - abused or valiant???

Hello ji 🤗

it's not about Virat or Maanvi.. today it is about Nia's performance at the ITA-2012, something different for me to write ..

Each time, I post something out of my comfort zone.. my hands perspire in apprehension as how it will be . and how it will be perceived.. let us see how it goes ..

Woman, she is synonymous with SHAKTI, the goddess of Power, in every sense, but Is it true in todays world? A woman/girl, who depicts Shakti, can she go out all alone, by herself, at night, a BIG NO.. Satyameva Jayathe showcased the tribulations and afflictions of millions of girls/women...In all these are we seeing woman/girl as epitome of Shakti/Power.. NO..

Nia's first ACT, today depicted the same thing which we saw in Satyameva Jayate, how a girl becomes prey to the vicious society.. A girl, dressed in white, representing, peace, serenity, kindness and love, was covered and protected in her own little space, she tries to come out of it, and stumbles, representing the protecting hands, (read as parents..and family) does not want her to go out into the vicious world all alone.. but she still walks out to explore the outer world,

she is scared to hell, she is confused, she is apprehensive, she is uncertain, by the time she tries to step back into her protective world.. vicious hands of the evil society from all directions hold her, toss her, turn her, abuse her, hurt her, misuse her, insult her and vituperate her...She is left there all alone dejected, desolated, in despondency, with her heart going through profound anguish, despair and misery, sitting in a crumpled and broken state, only to be gathered by those protective hands of her family and envelop her back into in her secure WORLD..

This is the woman's state in today's world, so well depicted and so well portrayed ..👏

Nia, my goodness, the subtle expressions were so poignant, that the likes of Anil Kapoor and Jeetenderji were in awe and I am sure, a shrill run down their spines... Her every expression was flawless and effortless, she pulled it off in a stupendously BRILLIANT way .. Kudos to Nia👏

The second Act, before I start the write up.. I loved the music bit, composed by Bhaskar Chandavarkar in the compilation of THE ELEMENTS..this particular track represents FIRE, one of the five elements , here is the link to track on YT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnFvMHav_2o

and the sanskrit shlok used in between is

agnir hota kavikratuh, satyas citrasrawastamah,
devo devebhir a gamat.
yadanga dasuse tvam, agne bhadram karishyasi,

(5th and part of 6th mantras of first sukta of first mandala, rig veda.) were used in the act.. the meaning of which is "may agni, priest of offering whose will towards action is that of seer, who is true, most rich in varied inspiration, come, a god with the gods."

Here, " It is addressed to Agni who in the Veda, is not a mere fire or even fire-god, but is a cosmic power, the Lord of the Divine Will who activates the human beings towards an all sided perfection. Here Agni himself is the priest in the symbolic ritual, he himself is the deity and he himself calls the other luminous powers or devas to manifest in the human aspirant. The human seeker prays to Agni to cling to him like a father a son."

I know it might be confusing to most of you.. in simple terms.. it says about Fire, Truth, Sacrifice

Now coming to the performance..I was taken aback for a split second.. looking at the fire in her eyes and the fierceness in her eyes...her stiff body emitting rage...the sharp, poignant poses of Kali and Durga.. her eyes ready to take on anything and everything vicious was breathtakingly fantabulous..

She stands there as the fire, the same vicious forces approach her, she shoots the glare of fire in her eyes...and burns and blows the evil forces to ashes ..Truth and Fire hand in hand as the verse states..

here, we have two forms of fire.. one, it burns the evilness to ashes, and the other is, Agni spreads light by burning herself..

Once, the goddess of fire has destroyed the evil forces.. now she, is there to sacrifice, seeks in all the luminous powers behind her to spread light of truth to the world by sacrificing AGNI itself.. such is a woman, who sacrifices and burns herself to illuminate all around

Amazing is the power of woman, it is her own determination and inner strength, the lack of which engulfs her in evilness and the same woman, with her own inner determination and strength and fierceness... conquers the same invincible evilness

and Nia she pulled two extreme roles of a WOMAN, the fear and the fierce, the helplessness of the abused girl, the epitome of SHAKTI...with such grace and poise and with such subtlety . I just had shivers and my throat choked... Salute to Nia..👏

Every word of appreciation and praise should be bestowed up on the girl.👏. she truly deserves all the appreciation for pulling off such a brilliant and impeccable performance so effortlessly..
