Dear All
Today is special for me.
At 8 AM I was seated at Kamaraj Memorial hall ready to listen to Voice of Love (as TTR's wonderful lectures are referred to .....) on a SEEMINGLY heavy subject (Who is God ? What is Religion ? Why meditation ?). Three thousand people had thronged the hall in spite of Endiran Release, heavy rain and early morning hours which was in fact mentioned Rajan while starting off his lecture. What followed in next two hours was a mind blowing oration where he made the heavy subject appear so clear and light in my head....
Ironically or by coincidence, at 8 PM, sitting at home I was going thru' a review in Sun TV about Enthiran release and the feed backs by the VIPs and common men about the much hyped film which seems to have many descriptive "first"s in Indian Cinema. As I was watching Rajni's beaming family (both daughters, wife and SIL) very proud of RAJNI and a reasonably relieved Kalanithi Maran speaking with a smile on his face about the feedbacks - some thing that I read some where flashed across my mind..."its actually easier to make 10 crore money as 100 crore than making Rs.100 as Rs.1000"
Well, it is a fact that TTR today touched upon Enthiran more than once in his lecture as he is a man who knows how to connect with audience and with the topic of the lecture at the same time......!! I particularly admired that he did not ridicule any body in the lecture and did not care to touch upon the Ayodhya dispute which is about "between religions" and was bang on the singular common noun "religion"......!! I felt like moving an inch closer to him and his organization at the end of the lecture and gave him a namasthe with moist eyes which was helpless and the most natural thing under the circumstances. My particular delight today was that Anoo who was seated next to me too was glued to the lecture (in spite of getting up bit earlier than our normal time on a typical Sunday) and the little one was attentive during the first half hour and the last forty five minutes of the 2 hour lecture. (inevitably, between the two time slots she dozed off unable to focus with a curtailed sleep in the morning....Paavam....!!).
My intention of this posting is not to compare the two entertainments that I had today
(it is slightly tragic if I can term the former one as "entertainment"......just that I got carried away to put them in same word. it is in fact truth that I was entertained AND engaged sufficiently by Rajan !!)
I am in fact able to connect about many things that Rajan spoke about in the way Rajni keeps himself aloft all the hype that surround him. While business houses and parasites around him frantically sing laurels about Rajni helplessly, he needs to have the same divinity that Rajan carries within himself to deserve the adulation that is bestowed on him. As Rajan is playing his game as a lecture standing to a devout group of audience so is Rajni (see, the names too are seemingly connected...!!) playing his game.
While I crave for Rajan's next lecture in the offing AND wish to reach the meeting hall with a begging bowl in my heart.....I am also too eager to see how Rajni positions himself from the current halo image around him.
YES, Rajni has a bigger responsibility than Rajan - I feel.....!! Well, as far as I am concerned, after being a part of today's lecture by Rajan, I will not ask the stupid question of "Why Rajni got such a great charisma ??".........
