How effectively one can use public relations to boost image can be found in Veena Malik reading Bhagavad Gita As It is. When I got this on my mail, I thought I wouldn't be able to use it at all and then came the realisation that I haven't been updating my blog for a long time. And perhaps this gives the opportunity to revive it.
I myself haven't read Gita in its pure Sanskrit form but only its interpretation in English and Malayalam.As the world goes through several crisis whether it is in the form of financial, social, moral and ethical-- we need to return back to to our scriptures for wisdom,
It has several gems to offer like these:
-Perform your prescribed duty, for doing so is better than not working. One cannot even maintain one's physical body without work
- As self-realized man has no purpose to fulfill in the discharge of his prescribed duties, nor has he any reason not to perform such work. Nor has he any need to depend on any other living being.
-As fire is covered by smoke, as a miror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, the living entity is similarly covered by different degrees of this lust.
I am ending this short piece on Gita referring to the famous Colonial Cousins number Krishna Nee Begane Baro which says, a savior for the world should come in the form of Allah, or Jesus or Krishna.. 'Come back as Jesus, come back and save the world, we need a teacher and you are the only one, Come back as Rama..., Come back as Allah, come back as any one'
Religion is the reason the world is breaking up into pieces-- so the savior should come soon, the song says.
So in this crisis filled moment, let's all go back to our scriptures for guidance, solace and pearls of wisdom, seems to be something Veena Malik seems to be conveying!
