Good Morning to all of you, this is your morning news round up. Our emphasis to enlighten all of us, early in the morning, continues with your morning dosage from Indian Mythology. Hope you enjoy it and feel free to respond. Positive comments are appreciated while negative are the pillars of our growth.
From the epics: Bhagavad-Gita:On Thursday we had a glimpse of the Chapter Two of the eighteen chapters of the great epic which was delivered to Arjuna by the Lord himself. Chapter Two was Sankhya Yoga, which is about 'The Eternal Reality of the Souls' Immortality.' Do you know what Dr. Albert Schweizer felt about the Bhagavad-Gita, ' The Gita has a profound influence on the spirit of mankind by its devotion to God which is manifested in all actions.'
And today we move on to Chapter Three, Karma Yoga. This chapter deals about 'The Eternal Duties of Human Beings.' Lord Krishna enlightens his disciple about the various duties, one has to perform at various stages of life, in a society. After all, man is a social animal and forgetting duties only leads to further problems. The Lord also discusses the pro and cons of performing ones duty. The lord also emphasis what leads to salvation and what leads to bonding.
Entertainment: On Independence day, we had two films released Ek Tha Tiger in Hindi and Devudu Chesina Manshulu, in Telugu. Ek Tha Tiger is all about how our desi bond 007 Sallu Bhai outshines and is a block buster on tracks after Wanted, Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard.
Sallu Bhai's Ek Tha Tiger has collected nearly Rs 32 Cr on the first day, as per sources. The highest collections ever for any Hindi film. As filmy pundits predict, 'the movie shall be the only film till date if it collects Rs 100Cr in the first four or five days.'
Sallu bhai's fans are praying to make it a reality. But friends prayers only help, only if action follows. So make the non-stop action entertainer successful with repeated visits. (off the records---- chuckles!!)
