The Adversary / PRATIDWANDI (English) Satyajit Ray. India – YouTube.
Thank Goodness for YouTube once again and for the folks who upload classic films! For those who do not know the name of the famous Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray – here is a window to begin your viewing of Film Genius! This is the first of a film trilogy based on the novel by Sunil Gangopadhyay. Made in 1970. Many of Ray’s films were not well-preserved and thanks to filmmakers Ismail Merchant and James Ivory who dedicated time and raised funds to preserve and duplicate many of Ray’s classics. One of the things I love about Satyajit Ray’s films is the pace, the time that he allowed to be captured it is as if it is a stream of consciousness, just in the moment of living now. This “now” is what we seek to find in our yoga practices…so maybe after doing your sadhana you may have the patience to sit and have a view of this classic film. Here’s what the famous Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa had to say about Satyajit Ray, “…not to have seen the cinema of Ray means not existing in the world without seeing the sun or the moon.” Do know this is not a Bollywood film, this is genius story telling via celluloid, it’s over one hour, so save it for when you have time to savor it and please do share it with others. (But, hey, just did see a wonderful Bollywood flick Ram Leela, by Sanjay Bhansali, ooooh so beautiful, yeah it’s a love story, yes its a Bollywood Romeo and Juliet, but every scene is layered with colors that mesmerize and the sets so awesome….and if you like this one see his classic Black…..okay I love films, can you guess which genre?) And now do start with Pratidwandi! Happy viewing…..OM
n.b. Yes there are English sub-titles!

We recite this invocation at every yoga sadhana: Take us from the unreal, to the real, take us from darkness to Light, Take us from death to immortality. This is from the ancient Brihadaranyak Upanishad, 1.3.28….
This reference about darkness and light relates to ignorance and knowledge. Ignorance, like darkness obscures true understanding. The remedy for darkness is light, and the remedy for ignorance is knowledge of one’s own true nature, our Divine Spirit.
The cultural significance is this festival is a way to enjoy and celebrate our Spiritual Birth, our Second Birth. Diwali celebrations take place all over the whole subcontinent of India, from north to south, east to west, from different religions from Hindu, Sikh to Jain and Christian, including Muslim as it is an agrarian harvest celebration and the business of farming includes all who consume. The festival spreads over five days, historically marked the end of the harvest season and beginning of the winter season. Farmers give thanks for their bounty and wealth. Lakshmi is the deity associated with wealth and is celebrated to bring continued good fortune for families.
Diwali, (spelled differently depending on the state and religious background) means lighting diyas (small clay vessels filled with oil and lit with cotton wicks). These lights are arranged in huge arrays in beautiful patterns like the rangoli drawings (like the background pictures on this homepage. The picture just above this text has tea light candles as any candle may be used and fire crackers are often lighted to celebrate the spark of our inner light.
The Yogic and Spiritual significance celebrates the realization of our own inner Light. Honoring, Atman, the pure, infinite and eternal Divine Energy which can be awakened in all people. This celebration of victory of good over evil signifies the victory of self-knowledge over ignorance, light over darkness. The awareness that we are much more than our physical body, but an infinite, ever-present Spirit. Every year people celebrate their birthday and Diwali celebrates their second birth…the Spiritual Awakening…our Inner Light…the true reality for All.
I read this as a post on Facebook…“Auditions are being held for you to be yourself…Apply within.”
May you choose to wake up and realize your Inner Light! HAPPY DIWALI!!!!!!!!!

What is the Meaning of Namaskar?.
When my Guruji the Late Shri Radha Kant Jha was in residence at our Omlink Studio he shared his interpretation of Namaskar:
“... When we bow our heads we lower our ego, when we join our hands we limit our physical might, (any disagreement/violence) to another, and with the hand gesture placed at our hearts we let our heart energy guide us as we let our Divine Spirit Rise in union with All. Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti OM.”
