Its so sad that none of our Vedic history is taught in schools... new generation is totally unaware of such things !

Even worst we have something called secularism which treats Hinduism as a dirty word !!

Shame on our selves !!

This statement makes the sense to the eternity

"the Truth is experience and not debated"

This film does an excellent job in taking a snapshot of orthodox Vedic culture. Though deeply involved with the performance of ancient rituals, there is such an abundance of intellectual and philosophical knowledge that becomes the basis of spiritual growth. The ultimate reverence and humility towards Nature and the Supreme make it such a beautiful lifestyle.

someone pls explain the symbolism of the parrot, the peeper, the grape, the cage and the ants..blessed will you be

This is what I could infer - Mandana Mishra has 'caged' himself in his own beliefs (that only deeds will give moksha) and is not open to any other ideas/thathvaas. He insists on eating only 'pepper' (karma-margaa) and refuses 'grapes' (the new idea of Jnana-margaa). But, once he (the parrot) feels the taste of grapes, he releases himself from the bondage and attains enlightenment.

Thanks.

you are absolutely spot-on.

[chandanasb]

Great explanation. Thanks a lot. I never knew that.

The ant analogy: If liberation can be attained only through deeds, then we will have to take several births (just as the time taken for the ants to climb a mountain) to attain it. So, Shankara says that knowledge (or Jnana) can liberate us.

Thanks.
