Agastya and the Vindhya Mountains: A Lesson in Influence and Leadership

Introduction Long ago, the Vindhya mountains began growing taller and taller every day. They became so huge that they even threatened to overshadow the mighty Himalayas and block the sun’s path across the sky. The cosmic gods grew worried. If the mountains kept growing, they could disrupt the balance of the entire universe. But the gods couldn’t stop them. The Vindhyas refused to listen to anyone. They wouldn’t bow to authority or accept any requests; they simply kept rising, proud and powerful. Now, the one person the Vindhyas deeply respected was their guru, the sage Agastya. He was their teacher and held in high reverence. So, the gods turned to Agastya and asked for his help. Agastya visited the mountains. The moment the Vindhyas saw him, they humbly bowed down to greet him, full of admiration. Agastya smiled and said, “I’m so pleased with your respect and devotion.” The mountains replied, “We are honored by your presence. Please tell us how we can serve you.” Agastya said, “There’...

Learnings from Dil Bechara: Sushant Singh Rajput

Introduction

Sushant Singh Rajput's last film Dil Bechara was digitally released over Hotstar on 24 July 2020. This is one of the most awaited movies of 2020. Dil Bechara is based on American Writer John Green’s wildly popular novel, The Fault in Our Stars. This movie is full of powerful life lessons and centered around three main characters. All three main characters are nearing towards death and we can understand the importance of our life when we see this movie. Sushant Singh Rajput's character is Immanuel Rajkumar Junior or Manny, who has previously suffered from osteosarcoma and is in remission, Kizie Basu is fighting thyroid cancer and JP is suffering from glaucoma. We expected many more movies from Sushant Singh Rajput but this is his final one. Let us discuss three main learnings from Dil Bechara movie.

Three learnings from Dil Bechara

1. Go with the flow of life: There are two ways of living life, the first is to set your life goals and start taking actions to achieve those goals without looking at other things. The second way is just to go with the flow of life. Many times our extreme planning can become a reason for our failure and sometimes it is better to just go with the flow of life. Life can give us amazing experiences when we go with its flow. In scriptures, we see an example of Hiranyakashipu who performed extreme penances and asked for immortality from Lord Brahma but when Brahma denied for such blessing then he planned very meticulously and asked for another blessing. He asked that " Grant me that I do not die within any residence or outside any residence, during the daytime or at night, nor on the ground or in the sky. He thought that such death is impossible yet Lord Narsingh came to earth and killed that demon. In this movie, Immanuel Rajkumar Junior or Manny can be seen flowing with life. He does not have big plans but he wants to bring happiness to his friend's life. He worked for the dream of his friend and recorded full Rajnikanth's movie.

2. Be happy as life is temporary: All three characters of this movie are struggling for their lives. When we see this movie then we can feel that life is very short and we used to get entangled in very small things. Our shortsightedness used to ruin our relations with our loved ones. Just take an aerial view of your life and you will find more reasons to feel joyful.
3. Disappointments are a part of life: Kizie Basu wanted to know why Abhimanyu veer had left his song incomplete. She traced Abhimanyu but he does not disclose the actual reason and behaved like a stupid man. During the whole film, we expect that Kizie Basu may die anytime but when Sushant Singh Rajput's character Manny succumbed to his suffering then we also get disappointed. But we must understand that life will throw lemons on us but it is up to us whether we can make lemonade out of it or not.

Conclusion

Dil Bechara movie is full of learnings and we can contemplate so many different learnings from this movie. You can watch Dil Bechara on Hotstar by clicking here. It is very difficult to understand how a person can leave us so early even when he inspired so many other people through his movies. Let us all pray for the soul of Sushant Singh Rajput.
