00:00
have you ever just let it sink into you what it means to spend 14 years in the
00:15
wilderness and try to wrap your head around the idea you are the crown prince
00:26
Yuvraj and you have been dispatched to the damn forest how does that even sound
00:44
it sounds unacceptable to us he lived it and he lived it with unequaled grace
00:52
look at his poise not once did he complain in fact he used these 14 years to the maximum
01:03
and he fought the most powerful force of his times and who was he somebody ostracized from
01:21
his kingdom somebody serving a sentence almost and he's fighting the shannon the one who is
01:34
said to have incarcerated even the various gods and goddesses in his prison cells that
01:50
the shannon was fought almost empty-handed by one Shri Ram that's my Ram
02:06
one needs to have at least one percent of him in oneself in order to worship him no
02:21
at least one percent what's one percent of 14 years
02:39
quick hmm yes point one four years but what does that mean
02:47
how many days
02:58
hmm around 50 days 51 to be precise
03:10
would you spend 51 days just because you are randomly told to that too on the eve of your
03:28
coronation you are about to rise to the throne and somebody tells you know you are dispatched
03:39
to the Amazon 51 days no gadgets nothing at least be one percent of Shri Ram Chandra I'm
03:55
not asking you to try it out I just want you to see how unacceptable even the idea is right
04:06
our securities our comforts rebel against the very thought he lived it out and he lived it
04:19
out in the most humane just and compassionate way possible without ever cribbing and he ended
04:32
those 14 years bringing down the mightiest Empire of his times that's my superhero
04:49
and you want to reduce Diwali to a festival of
04:55
Rasgulla
05:00
Rabri
05:05
huh
05:13
son papdi
05:18
hmm kalakanth did Ramchandra enjoy all these things why the hell are you enjoying all these
05:35
things on his day because we are very very small and little and petty people who want
05:48
just an excuse to further their dirty instincts of consumption we just want to consume on some
06:01
pretext something so Diwali becomes just another occasion to it's an explosion of consumption
06:31
so next Diwali let's
06:55
emerge as deserving celebrants let's assert our right next Diwali and then you will find that
07:16
the festival has really invoked another dimension within you then that night will be special
07:46
you
