Faith is where empathy is
With rage there is sin
Hatred finds place in hell
Forgiveness is where He is
Awaken! -
Dawn is breaking... -
Washing away the cover of darkness
Dawn is breaking...
Awaken!
May Lord Shiva bless you
Shake away the mist of dreams
Focus on the task at hand
It will take you down
the path to salvation
Every direction beckons you -
Aboard the boat of life -
- You'll be carried by
the holy river's tide
- Dawn is breaking...
- Awaken!
'Accept this offering O Keshava'
'Accept this offering O Narayana'
'Accept this prayer,
O Mighty Sun God'
'O Lord, creator of the universe remove
our miseries, vices and sorrows'
'Give us the ability
to lead upright, good lives'
- The fluttering leaves point the way
- The river flows as it cleanses your sins -
- And the temple bells sound
the presence of the Lord
- Dawn is breaking...
- Awaken! O traveler-
- Life is passing you by-
- Hold on to that faint string...
- and do what is only right
- Dawn is breaking
Welcome
I seek your blessings Punditji
You're late as usual
It's almost afternoon
I reached home late last night
after a wedding ceremony...
My 3 year old son was
crying relentlessly...
due to an upset stomach
I fell asleep, putting him to bed
Before I knew it,
the Sun God had risen
The sun doesn't rise according to
your convenience, Daya Shankar
Leading life by the rising and setting of
the sun is the duty of every Brahmin priest
And ostentation isn't the
objective of prayer
You may find gullible customers...
but you won't find God
Forgive me Punditji,
I didn't see you
How dare you touch and
defile Pundit Chaturvedi!
I am sorry Punditji.
Please forgive me
Kalua! Mallah! Come here... Hurry!
He's defiled Pundit Chaturvedi
Beat him up
Stop!
Stop! Don't hit him
'O Lord purify my mind, body and soul'
What's going on?
We are Brahmins
Lord Brahma himself gave us
this most superior caste
Even the shadow of that lowly
untouchable shouldn't fall on us
And he touched Pundit Chaturvedi!
'May this thread of Lord Brahma confer
upon me knowledge and wisdom'
Greetings Punditji
That poor man was beaten up
for your sake
And you didn't intervene?
Why should he?
That lowly fool has defiled
Pundit Chaturvedi
The divine light created by the Lord is
the genesis of all mankind
Then how can one man be
different from another?
Our scriptures also state this.
Don't they?
Are you trying to teach
Punditji the scriptures?
We challenge you to a debate with him
Shyam!
Lord Shiva has blessed me with
the knowledge of the scriptures
What about the truth of life?
Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva
- Awaken!
- Dawn is breaking
I'm sending sweets to your house...
offer them to the God sin your prayers
Thank you. My daughter
will bring the money
Punditji, what did that mystic mean?
Knowing the meaning is not enough
To understand religion,
one must live by its tenets
The world is full of so called mystics
If you want to grasp the true essence of the Hindu
religion pay attention to Punditji's teachings
Understand Mr. Paul?
Goras Nath, I'm not going to
change my mind,
I will not to be a part of any
religious propaganda
My child, come back in an hour
'I recite the names of the places
where you dwell'
'My sins from 7 lifetimes will be
destroyed by this recollection'
'By merely looking at your image...
'I'll no longer be touched by sin'
'I pray to you morning and
evening, O Lord'
'Detach me from Karma,
so I can only live to please you'
'Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva! '
'You are the incarnation of compassion'
'You're the very essence of life'
'Your eternal abode is the
heart of your devotee'
'I bow to you Lord Shiva and
your consort Parvati'
'My Lord Shiva is the one in eternal bliss'
'The one who is resplendent
and omnipresent'
'The one who embodies the scriptures'
'The one who is limitless and pure
like the sky. I adore you'
'O beloved Lord of all...
with shimmering jewels in his ears'
'Your beautiful large eyes...
full of mercy and a cheerful countenance.
I adore you'
'Hail, the mighty Lord Shiva'
May the mighty Lord Shiva bless you
Be careful. Do not eat street food or
take a helping from others
Communal riots broke out in Bhadohi
early this morning...
persons from a minority community
are reported dead
Many homes have been burnt down
What sparked off this Hindu-Muslim riot?
Hindu-Muslim animosity is part of our history
Any small scuffle...
can trigger a riot
Which means...
father and son...
husband and wife...
relatives and brothers
can forsake each other
But Mother Ganges never forsakes...
who-so-ever takes a dip
in Her holy waters
The River Goddess Ganges...
washes away his sins
and liberates him
In this modern world...
where virtues are disappearing...
we are fortunate for the
presence of Mother Ganges
Are your students late today?
Or have I finished my chores early?
All you have been quick at,
is forgetting, Parvati
Will you teach the students...
while I perform the prayers at
Vishnu Singh's house?
Today, is the fire ritual for Surya Prakash, let's hope
the Gods drive some sense into his head
He is unlike his father
So hot headed
This may take a lot of time
Many lifetimes I believe
I was referring to the fire ritual
That won't take much time
So, you won't be able to eat before noon
I am a Brahmin.
I feed the soul first
But you must eat.
Don't wait for me
The doctor has adviced you to eat on time
I am a brahmin's wife.
I know what is good for my soul
I will wait for you
You're a woman
You needn't live by the rule
sprescribed for men
I know
The scriptures also prescribe that
every woman be a dutiful wife -
Pativrat
Punditji!
I read somewhere that a woman's...
Pativrat Dharm
dictates she must obey all of
her husband's wishes
It is written in the Manu Smriti
In chapter 9, verse 154 - 55
Very good my child
Paul, a woman without husband
has no status in society
What are you learning from Punditji today?
We're on an interesting subject
A woman's Dharma as a dutiful wife
You've performed good deeds
in your past life...
to have the good fortune to come
all the way to India...
and learn about our religion and
culture from Punditji
And some unfortunate people,
despite being born here...
Shut up! Just shut up!
Don't interfere, Prabha
I have decided she won't go
She wants to study.
- Please let her go
Keep your mouth shut!
Punditji, do I have to be apart of the ritual?
It was difficult convincing
father to let me study further
Today is the last day for
submitting the application
But my brother says...
- You've studied enough!
There is a ceremony in the house
and she wants to go and study
You keep quiet, father!
Educated girls have neither
virtues nor values
Values!
Good values require that you
don't talk down to anyone...
especially to your father
As far as Mani is concerned...
she is not required at this prayer
Vishnu Singhji may allow her to leave
