For all those who believe in God and the beautiful world that he has created, I hope that this song resonates with you ! Varalama is a Tamil song which can take on many interpretations, for me it's my way of asking the lord if, I can get an audience with him, will I be able to get his blessings and will he be moved by my music. This song was shot at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Houston, Tx. I will forever be indebted to them for allowing me to shoot this devotional song on their grounds and publish it on my channel.

THOUGHTS FROM THE PAST- THE SATANIC VERSES

 Chandra Khanduri (Guest Writer) The Satanic Verses create controversy In the 1980s if the clerics were on their mission in Pakistan, it was their Shiite brethren in Tehran who were defending their interpretation of Islam in a bigger way. The fuse this time got ignited by the Iranian clerics who were campaigning for ‘banning and burning’ Salman Rushdie’s book The Satanic Verses. The book, a fictional work of satire, alludes indirectly to Prophet Mohammed.

  They put a price – a fatwa- on Rushdie’s head and made him go into hiding. In India in a bid to win Muslims, the Rajiv Gandhi government at the Centre had banned the book - the way Nehru had banned Aubrey Menon’s ‘Rama Retold’. Rushdie pleaded to RG as he wrote in an open letter, “Mr. Gandhi, it looks as if your government becomes unable or unwilling to resist pressure from more or less an extremist religious grouping that now controls the political agenda in India…the real issue is Muslim vote”. Nevertheless, the ban remained even after RG demitted his offices.

  The reality is that no holy war has got fought for God. Instead and sadly, they have been political wars- wars for power and hegemony, for resources, for colonies and kingdoms, or for purely controversial and outright evil ideas, such as those of Hitler. Centuries of religious obfuscation have indeed disabled us. I managed to get a copy of The Satanic Verses through a lawyer friend and found it worth all adjectives- hilarious, populous, and even loquacious, garrulous. Yet, it prompted me to read the Holy Quran for the second time and see if had Prophet Mohammed, that great visionary and reformer, read the book, would he not have burst laughing at the phantasmagoria narratives, presumably at him and angel Gabriel-all in humor.

Open discussion of such thoughts, and the diehard, albeit ignorant would have a fatwa on my head too. So, they remained just that. Thoughts in my mind. Terrorism was then an Asian pastime, not sparing women of substances too. Sirimavo Bandaranaike and Master Tara Singh’s daughter had recently become targets. Sirimavo got saved, but Rajinder Kaur got the bullet.

 Meanwhile, the book’s sales kept rising, making it an international bestseller.

  (Ah yes! On August 14/15, 2022, a Muslim fanatic tried to kill Rushdie in a suburb of New York, but Salman survived by the grace of Allah. In the meantime, the book has again become a bestseller following the attack.)

Tribute 790.

Tribute to Cinematographer Rathnavelu 790. Today, I am compelled to write about a prominent figure in the Southern film industry, renowned for his remarkable visual work and significant impact in recent years. This personality is none other than Cinematographer Rathnavelu. He commenced his career alongside veteran Cinematographer and Director Rajiv Menon, contributing to numerous advertisement films. Notably, he has contributed to several films across three languages, which deserve recognition. The majority of his works have been successful, featuring some of today's leading actors such as Rajnikanth, Vijay, Surya, and Jayam Ravi.Rathnavelu is well-known for his proficiency in visual effects and outdoor cinematography, showcasing a distinctive framework in each of his films. The South Indian film industry has gained recognition for its skilled technicians, particularly in the realm of cinematography. I have had the pleasure of watching a few films by this expert, including Aravindhan, Sethu, Nanda, Jayam, Bhagavathi, Thirumalai, Vaaranam Aayiram, and Peralagan. Although I haven't personally seen the much-discussed recent film Enthiran, I have witnessed the craftsmanship behind its production. My admiration goes out to the talented cinematographer Rathnavelu. The collaboration between Shankar, Rajnikanth, A.R. Rahman, and Ratnavelu undoubtedly resulted in the remarkable delivery of Enthiran, without any exaggeration. I am confident that the soft-spoken, silent, and smiling Rathnavelu will earn many more accolades in the days to come.

The Vision of Mani Ratnam: Directing 'Guru'

Cinema is an art form, demanding mastery in weaving a tale with images and sounds. Few directors have achieved a level of virtuosity in this art as Mani Ratnam, the celebrated Indian filmmaker. Revered for his profound vision and meticulous storytelling, Mani Ratnam carved a unique niche for himself with movies like 'Roja,' 'Bombay,' and 'Dil Se.' However, our focus lies on his directorial magnum opus, 'Guru' - a remarkable testament to Ratnam's cinematic grandeur. Let's delve into the vision that Ratnam brought onto the silver screen with 'Guru.'

A Lesson in Storytelling

Mani Ratnam's penchant for narrating compelling stories is well-known. With 'Guru,' he painted an intimate portrait of a man's ambition, defiance, and vulnerability. His utmost respect for the narrative is evident in every scene of the film, underlining the trials, triumphs, and turmoil of Gurukant Desai's life.

Crafting a Tapestry of Characters

Ratnam's mastery lies in his ability to create vivid, multi-dimensional characters that leave a lasting impact on the audience. 'Guru' boasts an array of realistically flawed characters, polished under his adept direction. Be it the intensely passionate Gurukant, the quietly resilient Sujata, the principled and diligent Shyam Saxena, or the enigmatic Manik Dasgupta - each character resonates with the viewers, enriching the narrative.

A Flair for Visual Brilliance

When it comes to crafting stunning visuals, Ratnam interprets the art of cinema in a distinct style. His choice of trading dialogues for strong and expressive visuals speaks volumes about his directorial savoir-faire. With the aid of Rajiv Menon's cinematography, Ratnam paints a grand canvas that mirrors the protagonist's journey, from the arid lands of Gujarat to the high-rise buildings of bustling Mumbai.

Harnessing Performances

Intrinsic to Ratnam's success are the spectacular performances that come to life under his guidance. He draws out deep, emotive performances from his actors, pushing them beyond their capacities to deliver their finest. In 'Guru,' every character, no matter how small their role, brings an essential element to the table, rounding off the narrative and adding depth to the plot.

Music and Sound: Enhancing the Narrative

Ratnam’s artistic partnership with the musical maestro A.R. Rahman has always been an essential factor in his films' success. Their collaboration in 'Guru' too produces a soulful and stirring score that uplifts the film's emotional quotient, further transporting the audience into the milieu of the narrative.

The Significance of 'Guru' in Ratnam's Oeuvre

'Guru' emerges as a significant accomplishment in Mani Ratnam's illustrious filmography. This film is a testament to his astute storytelling prowess, his narrative depth, and his profound comprehension of human nature. Scenically captivating, emotionally riveting, and philosophically gratifying - 'Guru' encapsulates the tapestry of struggles, dreams, and aspirations of an era and a man who dared to evoke change.

In conclusion, 'Guru' is a shining beacon in Mani Ratnam's illustrious range of works, testamentary to his extraordinary vision and unfaltering commitment to the art of cinema.
