I think I'm in a mood of posting today?Sabko bore kar rahi hoon lambi lambi posts karke π π π?
Now I have two points to write about:-
# Recently, while going through a book on Bhakti-Yoga, I came across one interesting incident from the life of Prahlada. Thought to share it with you all:-
When offered a boon by the LORD, Prahlada thankfully denied, saying that he who asks for anything in lieu of his Sadhana or Bhakti is verily not a Sadahaka, but a businessman(Vanik). But when the LORD still persisted, Prahlada said, "I pray You to destroy my desire for asking, is there is any. This is the only boon I ask of You".
(Source:- The Secret of Bhaktiyoga by Gita Press, Gorakhpur)
I was just moved π by the simplicity βοΈ and the sincerityβοΈ of this sentence?Truly the Sadhaka should have absolutely no desire(earthly or heavenly) in mind.
# Now the next point is that suddenly I remembered that our S D Banerjee had acted in a film called Swami Vivekanada in the role of Vivekananda(as expectedπ..). I have watched that film 12-14 years back (I guess, on National network?They used to show those National Award winning Regional movies on Sunday Afternoon). Mithun Chaktraborty also acted in that film in the role of Shri Ramkrishna and won the National award for this film(in 1994/95/96- A lot of confusion about the year in different websites?). I was thinking about posting the link of this movie here, but couldn't find it on Youtubeπ . The director of that film was G V Iyer(who directed the famous movie Adi Shankaracharya-1983, with S D Banerjee.)
This is from Wikipedia about the film
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swami_Vivekananda_(1998_film)
Swami Vivekananda is an Indian film made in 1995 starring Mithun Chakraborty as Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Sarvadaman Banerjee as Swami Vivekananda. The film attracted media attention as the director's films were well-known for their spiritual themes. Even though the film was completed and was considered for 1995 national awards, the film got released only in 1998.
Synopsis
