Filming Aghoris and the Naked Sadhus of India

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]

 

 

Aghoris are often spotted in the Indian pilgrimage hotspots like Varanasi, Allahabad, Haridwar, Kumbh Mela, kamakhya among other places which are considered as valuable location for filming in India. They attribute being introvert as their sadhna rules want them to be aloof.

 

Based on beliefs the aghori sadhus powers consist of healing, they say that these power derives from the devotion to Kali Maa (Kali is Hindu Goddess and Maa means mother) and lord Shiva. They use this to cure the disease from the body.

 

Some say it’s a tedious task to get through the elimination phase of being an Aghori, but fewer people know that it’s a personal choice. When the mind and heart are aligned in a single sight, the power of an aghori Indian guru is versatile enough to infuse life or to take away breath. Same is the case with being in any of the faith sects in any religion, which is considered extreme by others but enjoyed to the core by practitioners.  Another sect of the same line is Naga Sadhu, who are known for naga sadhu miracles which can change one’s life towards betterment.

 

Why filming Aghoris can turn into a challenge?

Filming Aghoris and the Naked Sadhus of India (6)

People claim aghoris were heirs of Lord Dattatreya and was used to worship lord Shiva. Making an aghori documentary can cost you your life too, as they are very secretive about their Shakti (Power) attainment and knowledge. Moksha (Liberation) from the Tamasic and Rajasic Guna, or commonly known as societal and family-associated liking and love towards them are amongst the first thing they leave as they get trained to attain aghori sadhus power.

 

Their way to become an Aghori

Filming Aghoris and the Naked Sadhus of India (1)

They are stated to be next to god as they achieve the Aghora stature, but their way to that position is filled with hardships and constant roadblocks. They don’t allow female sadhus to take participation as the rules are tough enough to be followed by them. This may also be one of the major reasons why there needed to be introverted and self-centered to focus more on the meditation and worship of their deity.

 

Aghor sadhana contains some mandatory practices, which are considered objectionable as per Indian society standards. They include cannibalism, devouring human flesh, performing rituals and offerings at the graveyard, and involvement in certain post-mortem processes.

 

These are criticized by normal people to be cruel, and anti-human, against humanity standards. This compels them to practice their customs safely and in private places making their case quite intriguing for production houses in India. Though they are worshipped after attaining the final stage and are welcome in every temple or pilgrim place throughout.

 

Naga Sadhu’s of India

Filming Aghoris and the Naked Sadhus of India

As the name Naga derives from Sanskrit, it refers to people residing on or around mountains they are also known for safeguarding the Hinduism from invaders of foreign countries.

 

Naga Babas and Naga Sadhus are present in a huge number in India due to the respect of their purity and holiness. They depict positiveness and use their energy towards improving the life of others. We do have Naga Sadhvis who have a separate Akhada and promote equality for human betterment.

 

Current stature in modern India

Filming Aghoris and the Naked Sadhus of India (3)

Due to their relatable state to Bhairava and Rudra, the two most ardent and harsh/loud forms of Shiva, people do worship them out of fear/respect. With a further clear insight into their practices and customs, people are now starting to respect them.

 

They often wait to witness their presence at certain Indian pilgrimage hotspots which are good location for filming in India like Aghori baba in Varanasi, Allahabad, Haridwar, Kumbh Mela, kamakhya among other places. This indeed helped to clear the cloudy presence they had in the past years. Nowadays, they are an inspiration for how the ardent devotees of any deity have the will to leave everything just to attain eternal internal peace.

Covid-19: Every Cloud has a Silver Lining

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]

 

 

There is a saying in English: Every cloud has a silver lining. The same applies to the corona. On social media, people are posting pictures of animals like Nilgai and deer roaming on the streets. There is also a huge reduction in pollution. But consider the other side of it. OPD in hospitals are closed; Despite this, there is no rush in Emergency. So how did diseases reduce so much?

 

Granted, there are no vehicles plying on the streets; therefore, there is no road accident. But there are also no problems like heart attack, brain hemorrhage or hypertension. How did it happen that there is no complaint from anybody that no one is being treated? The number of dead bodies coming to Delhi’s Nigambodh funeral Ghat daily has come down by 25-30 percent.

 

Leave Delhi, look the condition of Varanasi, which is also a religious capital and has importance in terms of cremation of dead bodies. On an average, 80 to 100 dead bodies used to come to Harishchandra Ghat, Varanasi. Today only 20 or 25 dead bodies are coming in the atmosphere of Coronavirus.

 

It is said that this is the passing season (going from winter to summer). At this time every year there is an increase in dead body, but do not know why there is a huge shortage of dead body whereas only the response from BHU Neither 10 to 15 dead bodies used to come to a standstill, the patients who are admitted in the hospitals are all in the past, if the new patient is not admitted, it is really surprising that all the disease is missing whether the corona virus has affected all the diseases Killed…?

 

No. This raises the question of commercialization of medical profession. Where there is no disease, the doctors make it gigantic. After the emergence of the corporate hospital, the crisis has deepened. In the slightest cold and cough, billions of thousands and perhaps even billions of lakhs is no longer a surprise. The beds are lying empty in most hospitals.

 

I am not trying to reduce the importance of doctors’ service. I salute the services of all the health professionals during the time of Covid-19. But the fear has become too much. Many problems are also due to doctors. Apart from this, people are eating homemade food, not restaurants. It also makes a difference. If the system does its job properly and people get clean water and pure food, then half the diseases will be eliminated like this.

 

There was a survey in Canada about 4-5 decades ago. There was a strike of doctors for a long period. The survey found that the death rate declined during this period. Health is a part of our lifestyle; it is not only dependent on doctors. Mahatma Gandhi has written in Hind Swaraj that doctors will never want people to be healthy; the lawyer would never want the mutual discord to end. However, there are problems with lockdown which are unavoidable but it has also given some informative and interesting experiences.

First Feature Film Of India – Raja Harishchandra by Dadasaheb Phalke

[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]

 

 

Lights, Camera, Action!!!

With the blink of an eye, the cinema industry has brought a lot of thrillers, actions, and emotional drama in our lives that have become the primary source of entertainment for us. Now, movies are premiered beyond the imaginations. You can actually feel whatever is going on in the movie with the introduction of 3D, 4D concepts.  But, hey, do you know which was the first feature film of India? I know you might be wondering what’s the need to know. To be honest, it’s proud for all of us to learn how Indian cinema has progressed so far. Let’s get into the flashback of Indian film industry and know about its black & white world.

 

For a movie fanatic like me, the word ‘feature film of India’ in 2020 creates an image of unrealistic sets, OTT costumes, masks, hip-hop dance, and jazz music. But this is not where all of this started from. Yes, Bollywood has been an addiction for the Indians for ages now but does anyone know who was the actual reason to prompt it.

 

Dadasaheb Phalke

It was in the year 1913, a man named Dadasaheb Phalke was weaving a history for the millennial movie buffs that would be remembered by the future generations. His creation became the first-ever feature film of India named Raja Harishchandra. This film has marked a historic benchmark in the Indian cinema. Even after being a silent movie, it became a commercial success that paved the path for what Bollywood looks like today. The movie was a narrative of an Indian character who was drawn from the story of Mahabharata.

 

It won’t be wrong if I say that Dadasaheb is the Mogul of Indian cinema. Because even after being a silent film, it catapulted the success of the Indian film industry and led to a vivacious release of 23 movies between 1913 to 1918.

Another interesting story from the capital of Madhya Pradesh is related to Transgender (also known as Kinnar in India). There is a very old story relates them to this festival.
