Is Chiranjeevi a Leader?

A leader is one who does not follow an established path. He who creates his own path is a leader.

There is a lot of euphoria among Telugu Prajaneekam in Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the world. The euphoria is because of the expectation and perhaps the impending entry of one of the icons of Telugus into the political landscape of Andhra Pradesh. The euphoria is befitting of the stature and status of the person. We have seen his entry in over a hundred films spanning over two decades. It is always with a Big Bang!!

The introduction is perhaps enough for every one keeping a tab on Andhra Pradesh politics to understand about whom this article is about. Chiru: The Mega Star of Telugu cinema. A lot has already been written and spoken about his charitable activities. There are a lot of people who perhaps have contributed more in charity than Chiranjeevi has. So what differentiates chiru from others?

As a kid, growing up in Andhra Pradesh in 80’s and 90’s, one is most probably a fan of chiru by default and only then a fan of any other Hero. What has made him so special?

If the Telugu movie landscape of late 70’s and early 80’s is observed, the aging NTR and ANR were still the leading super hero’s followed by not so young Krishna and Sobhan Babu. Each had their own genre of movies to cater to. And then there were other heros who catered to various niche segments, but could not gain super stardom.

Chiranjeevi started out as an anti-hero and slowly graduated into a hero and was fortunate to have acted in some good movies with excellent themes packed with lots of action and entertainment like Challenge, Khaidi, Abhilasha and etc. He got hold of the pulse of various segments of the audience with excellent selection of themes. His movies had good and interesting stories, coupled with awesome songs, dance and pulsating action sequences. His dance and fights were choreographed with some cool steps that caught the attention of kids and youth alike. He has created a new path of cinema packed with action, dance and gripping story with awesome screenplay.

He has created his own path to be a leader among his contemporaries. So can this answer that question if he will be a leader?

చట్ట బధం సరె ధర్మ బధమెన?

మన ముఖ్య మంత్రి శ్రి రాజశేఖర రెడ్డి, ఆయన కి ఉన్న 618 ఎకరాల అస్స్య్నెడ్ భూముల్ని ప్రభుత్వానికి తిరిగిచెసిన విషయం అందరికి తెలిసిందె.
ఇండియ టిమెస్ వార్త శిర్షిక లొ, ముఖ్య మంత్రి చేసింది ఛట్ట బధంగ సరి అయినదెనని అంతొంది. ముఖ్య మంత్రి కి తమ ప్రభుత్వం ఎంచెస్తొందొ ముందుగానే తెలిసి ఉండి ఉంటుంది కావున తన భూముల్ని తిరిగి ఇఛేసారు. ఛట్టభధంగ అయినదె అయిన ధర్మభధమయినదా?

Panchanga

Hi,

Every auspicious occasion for Indians and followers of Sanatana Dharama (loosely called Hinduism) will be held on good and bad days.

How do you define good and bad days?
To figure out what is a good day and what is not a good day, an almanac called Panchanga is used.

A day is classified as good or bad based on five properties or panch angas = panchanga.

The five angas that determine the relative auspicious ness of time are

the tithi active at sunrise the vaasara or weekday the nakshatra in which the moon resides at sunrise the yoga active at sunrise the karana active at sunrise

How are these properties calculated is explained here.

Gayathri Manthra

Tat Savithur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya DheemahiDhiyo Yonah Prachodayat

We meditate on that most adorable, most desirable and most enchanting luster (effulgence) of our supreme Lord, who is our creator, inspirer and source of eternal Joy. May this light inspire and illumine our intellect (and dispel the darkness).

Another Interprtation
The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om, (the name of formless God.) That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing / respect (varenyam). We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our (nah) intellect dhiyo

Turning Brahminical.

Who is a Brahmin?
A brahmin is a person who realizes Bramhan.

Who is Bramhan?
The ultimate body of knowledge. Both spiritually and physically.

So, a brahmin is a person who gains knowledge.
Any person who gains knowledge is a Brahmin.

In the olden days, knowledge was gained by learning and reciting vedas, which are massive bodies of knowledge. The rigor to learn vedas was very difficult and hence only few people chose to learn it the formal way. One learnt about nature, animals, conduct, relationships, righteousness and etc.

People with interest were initiated into education with Upanayanam, meaning a raw human being taking rebirth as a person with quest for knowledge.

In today's world many people are spending time and putting in the required effort to gain knowledge. May be not from vedas, but from other sources.

In today's caste consideration, if a person who gained knowldge by way of formal education is not born into a brahmin family, he would not be called a brahmin. But he is still a brahmin given the knowledge he acquired.

India as a society, is becoming Brahminical because of the importance given to acquiring knowledge by means of formal education.
