Throwback: When a section of the industry speculated that Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Aamir Khan’s Mann were based on Titanic

The much-loved Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai completed 24 years yesterday. It was released in cinemas on January 14, 2000, and was the biggest hit of that year. Debutant Hrithik Roshan became a superstar overnight and continues to rule even today. Though the actress opposite him, Ameesha Patel, was also a newcomer, the film was in the news even before its release. In fact, more than 25 years ago, there were even rumours that the Rakesh Roshan-directorial is based on the Hollywood blockbuster, Titanic (1997)!

This interesting bit of information was mentioned in Komal Nahta’s magazine Film Information dated June 27, 1998. It mentioned that as per rumours in the film industry, not just Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai but also Aamir Khan-Manisha Koirala starrer Mann (1999) was Titanic’s remake. The article debunked the myth and also said that the only similarity between the Hindi films and Titanic was that they were being shot aboard a ship. Since Titanic was also set on a ship, probably some people put two and two together and spread the speculation. A major section of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai was set on a ship in the first half. The film was the story of Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Sonia (Ameesha Patel) who meet in Mumbai and later on a cruise ship. Due to an interesting turn of events, both are stranded on an island where they fall in love. In an interview to Komal Nahta’s Film Information magazine dated December 5, 1998, Rakesh Roshan spoke in detail about why he chose the Star Clipper ship of the USA and the challenges he faced in shooting on board and taking the aerial shots mid-sea. Bollywood Hungama published excerpts of this interview on January 14.

Mann, meanwhile, directed by Indra Kumar was about Dev (Aamir Khan) and Priya (Manisha Koirala). Both meet each other on a cruise and though they were engaged to their respective partners, sparks flew between them. The musical entertainer was shot on Sun Cruises in Singapore.

As for Titanic, it was directed by James Cameron and told the story of Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio), a poor artist and his love affair with Rose (Kate Winslet) aboard an ill-fated ship in 1912. It was based on accounts of the sinking of RMS Titanic though it was also extensively fictionalized. The disaster film was a blockbuster across the world. In India, it stunned one and all as it did exceedingly well despite not being dubbed in Hindi for almost a year. As per the Film Information issue dated August 22, 1998, Titanic was the first ever English film to have completed 25 weeks in more than 10 centres in India. It recorded footfalls of nearly 2.5 crores which is higher than many of the big hits of today. The report stated, “It has also been the first English film to have run to full houses for its first 10 weeks. What is more remarkable is the fact that Titanic achieved such a huge success despite having only 86 prints in circulation, and all in the original (English) version! In fact, the collections of Titanic in India are the fourth highest in the whole of Asia, after Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.”

I just figured out that Mahalaya technically spreads Mita-Varuna propaganda subtly

The "Aham Rudre" thing is basically Devi explaining how all the Gods and the entire Universe exists with Herself. The Rudras, Vasus, Adityas

There's specific mention of: MitraVaruna, IndraAgni and the Ashwins at the very beginning itself

Here's the part:

ahaṃ rudrebhirvasubhiścarāmyahamādityairuta viśvadevaiḥ

ahaṃ mitrāvaruṇobhā bibharmyahamindrāgnī ahamaśvinobhā

YOOO

GUYS GUYS ADI SHAKTI HERSELF SAID MITRAVARUNA AND INDRAGNI ARE CANON

So when we make Mahalaya we can spread this more right? Not just hidden in the lyrics

China: Countries and Sound Series

Disclaimer: the point of view I will give is merely the astrological point of view, not my personal perspective, likes and dislikes. Astrology is light and is above petty, ambitious, business-minded and biased agendas of some media. Also, I will not analyze the countries’ birth charts in this series as it would be too long. I might refer to them a little bit sometimes only.

🤔What is it all about? How do we analyze the sounds in Jyotish? Why? See intro here. In Mandarin Chinese, China is called: 中国/ zhongguo. "Zhong" sound is the closest to "cho" sound, found in Ashvini pada 3.

Ashvini: the Unstoppable Horses

🐎Horses: Ashvini's animal is the horse. Horses played a significant role in Chinese history. The Han conquered all the other warring states with horses while their enemy from the North also used the horse to submit them. The great wall they tried to build never stopped these Northern tribes to defeat them. The horse was also essential to keep in touch with other far away places in the West. Today, the car has replaced the horse: recently China has built flying cars, such as the pilotless flying taxis. Innovation in this field will make them successful.

🐎Martial arts: China is famous for its martial arts, especially kung fu. Ashvini is related to martial arts and warfare. 🐎Movement, migrations: In mainland China, many people migrated from North to South and East to West. They even went across the sea to establish themselves. Ashvini is a nakshatra that is always on the move. 🐎Medicine: Ashvini is all about medicine. China is known for its traditional medicine which still proves to be highly efficient today. This medicine is very complex and uses herbs. It also involves energetic therapies such as acupuncture, qi gong, tai qi. This type of medicine is very Ashvini-like.

🐎Levitation: In Chinese movies, we can often see characters flying. Ashvini is fascinated by levitation. 🐎Long hair: Horses have beautiful manes. Ashvini natives like to take care of their hair. In many Chinese TV shows, long hair is often seen.

🐎Sacred mountains: Taoist believers still make pilgrimages to sacred mountains throughout the country. They climb up mountains where temples are built. Ashvini likes to climb up on top of mountains, hills etc. 🐎Innovation: China has been the source of many inventions, such as printing, the compass, the gunpowder... When China stopped innovating, it fell down. In 1793, the emperor Qianlong arrogantly ignored steel and steam- yet offered by the British- which would make the British number one. The Chinese paid for this dreadful mistake: the country slowly sank into anarchy and wars later on. Innovation, an Ashvini quality, is key to success in general but most importantly for Ashvini. Now, the Chinese are known for their innovative technology surpassing Europe greatly.

🐎Humiliation: The Ashvin kumars, the Ashvini's rulers, had always been badly treated by the other demigods. They were always refused to drink the soma despite their godly lineage and deeds by them and Indra. But they found a cunning way to make the demigods change their minds. They had no choice but letting them drink soma, which deeply irritated Indra, the king of the demigods and the ruler of Jyeshtha. China faced heavy humiliation especially in the 19th century and was torn into pieces by foreign forces. And guess what? Their archenemy was the United Kingdom, whose letter "u" is related to Jyeshtha... Indra. And now, their major enemy is the U.S.A, which sound is the same... China found a cunning way to be in the top position: the U.K, the U.S and other countries gave most of their means of production to them, being lured to relocate their factories there due to their greed... And now the Chinese are in the top position.

🐎Selfishness, brutality: the Ashvini individual's dark side is self centeredness and lack of consideration for others. China revealed these traits in the past. For example, the way the Han subdued the other states had been harsh: unity meant destruction of cultural differences. Or in their philosophy, China was the center of the world: the emperor Qianlong showed it clearly, his sense of superiority clouding his vision regarding the western nations. As they thought they were the core of the world, they naturally spread their philosophies and culture to their neighbors. You were considered refined (aka superior) when you were able to recite Chinese poetry during the Japanese Heian period, for example.

🐎Red: Blood red is Ashvini's color. Red is a significant color in Chinese culture. 🐎Characters, writings, Hanzi: Writing, Chinese characters, play a major role in Chinese culture. It is considered as art, used for prayers, and communication throughout the country. It even spread outside of China. "Cho" corresponds to pada 3, which falls in Gemini, which is all about communication and writings. 🐎Trade: Chinese people are known for their merchant skills. Gemini is all about negotiations, money and trade. Next, we will see Russia. 🇷🇺 Previously, we saw the USA. 🇺🇸

[arnaultcavalcanti]

Once more, I found myself returning to a book I had concluded long ago, during the waning days of a year—a juncture marked by transitions, where endings seamlessly give way to beginnings. This particular text appears to encapsulate the intriguing notion of the past engaging in a dialogue with an even more distant antiquity, as though bridging epochs. It presents a fictional meeting between the Indian poet Kalidasa and the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, prompting speculation about the nature of their exchange. Might they deliberate upon the merits and shortcomings of their respective eras, reflect critically on their works, or perhaps exchange sagacious advice? One cannot help but ponder whether they could transcend the barriers of language, culture, and time to truly understand one another.

Such imaginings give rise to the vision of other historical and mythological figures entangled in timeless dialogues. Picture Dhritarashtra, the blind monarch from the Mahabharata, sharing a contemplative moment with Oedipus, the ill-fated king of Thebes. Could they, in this imagined encounter, dissect their profound guilt or confront the moral quandaries of their lives? And what role might Tiresias, the seer whose prophecies hold the potential to rewrite fates, play in such an assembly? Would his revelations act as a catalyst for divine intervention or a profound moment of self-realisation, compelling them to eschew the errors of their past? Perhaps, through this hypothetical convergence, they might chart a path of redemption, thereby offering a cautionary paradigm for those who delve into their stories and endlessly debate their implications.

Turning to the archetypal figures of seduction, one encounters Paris of the Iliad and Indra of Hindu mythology, whose actions resonate across cultural canons. Paris, infamous for his elopement with Helen, the wife of Menelaus, unwittingly precipitated the Trojan War and wrought untold devastation upon humanity. His narrative parallels that of Devraj Indra, king of the Hindu gods, whose infatuation with Ahalya, the wife of his spiritual guru, culminated in a deceitful seduction and a consequential curse. These figures compel us to question whether they possessed even the faintest awareness of the ramifications of their hedonistic pursuits. Do they, as embodiments of unchecked patriarchal privilege, serve as cautionary exemplars, their tales echoing as warnings against the destructive allure of unbridled desire?

Reflecting on these illustrious yet flawed figures, I am reminded of Sisir Kumar Das, whose intellectual oeuvre exemplifies the boundless potential of the human mind. His scholarly endeavours, characterised by a spirit of experimental inquiry, evoke the metaphor of an unfathomable ocean—deep, expansive, and resistant to simplistic understanding. Yet, his magnum opus underscores a vital principle: that the true vocation of a scholar lies not merely in the pursuit of profound thought but in forging connections that illuminate pathways for future generations. Indeed, scholarship, when approached as a continual process of trial and error, becomes a bridge that unites ideas across temporal and intellectual divides, fostering a legacy of enduring relevance.

I like to think Vasant had a lot of admirers in the pantheon.

So if that's the case who are the ones do you think proposed to him and got let down by him? (Also we know he obv was a beauty to all genders alike)

SKSJHKDHDBDHHFH ahhh yess he definitely had..

Apsaras: like definitely more that half of them were hardcore Vasant fans. So much so that they had a completely different fanclub for him.

Whenever he'd be there to deliver flowers, they'd like flock around him and just try to converse with him or just stare at him. He doesn't understand though, he thinks they're being friendly with him.

Some did tried to propose and got rejected, still they all stayed friends cuz eho wants to lose friendship with such a pookie.

Gandharvas: Same as the Apsaras, I think some of them too would definitely swoon at flower bois talks.

Like when Vasant would visit and sometimes when he'd dance along with the Apsaras or teach them all to make flower jewelleries.

They also definitely tried but got rejected sadly. But still all of them are good buddies who smile at eachother and talk from time to time..

(Indra whenever he found out about anything definitely kept quiet to not break anyones heart but at last Vasant still rejected them...)

Muni Rishi kanyas and Kumars: He's definitely a very big celebrity at most of the ashrams fs. Even Shukracharyaa's ashram. (That would mean some Asurs too... Like some young noble family Asurs idk..)

Thou I think very less of them would be bold enough to propose...

Neta/Neto (Manasa's bestie/assistant): Like this is shocking to many but I think he'd once maybe start to really really like Vasant.

And I imagine him and Manasa to be this mean girl and her friend kinda people, so like he'd kinda glare at Vasant with burning cheeks while still admiring him, all while flower boi just stares back with these big big innocent eyes.

Also imagine Manasa finding out and urging him to confess (cuz he's her friend and she supports him) lol chaos

This are my suggestions :33

(ALSO FUCK SORRY- I'm so shipping this two in an AU T_T)

[ad_1] By Kumar Rakesh   GG News Bureau New Delhi, 7th November. For centuries, the concept of “33 Koti Devatas” has been misconstrued by both outsiders and some insiders to mean that Hinduism worships 33 crore (330 million) deities. This misinterpretation has fueled misleading narratives that paint Hinduism as a polytheistic faith with an overwhelming number of gods. However, a closer look at the etymology and ancient scriptures reveals that “koti” in Sanskrit can also mean “type” or “category,” not exclusively “crore.” In this context, the phrase “33 Koti Devatas” refers to 33 classes or types of divine forces rather than an exaggerated number of gods. This significant misinterpretation has persisted partly due to a lack of awareness, even among some prominent Hindu leaders and scholars. Correcting this narrative allows for a better understanding of Hindu cosmology and philosophy. Let’s explore what “33 Koti Devatas” truly represents and why the connection with the 33 vertebrae in the human spine provides a fascinating metaphor for spiritual alignment. 33 Koti Devatas: Types of Divine Forces The “33 Koti Devatas” encompasses four main categories of deities or cosmic powers in the Vedic tradition: 12 Adityas – Representing Solar Deities 8 Vasus – Embodying Elemental Forces of Nature 11 Rudras – Symbolizing Vital Energies and Spiritual Self 2 Ashvins – Representing Divine Healers or Twin Deities The 12 Adityas: Guardians of Solar Energy and Social Order The 12 Adityas correspond to the solar months and are personified deities, each embodying aspects of cosmic law and societal values. They include: Indra (the eldest, symbolizing strength and leadership) Aryaman (nobility and friendship) Mitra (unity and bonds) Varuna (cosmic law and fate) Surya/Vivasvan (social law and righteousness) Each Aditya represents a vital aspect of human existence and societal structure, closely tied to the solar months that mark time, seasons, and agricultural cycles, emphasizing their connection to natural and social order. The 8 Vasus: Elements of Nature The Vasus represent natural forces essential for life. These include: Anil (Wind) Apas (Water) Dhara (Earth) Anal (Fire) Prabhas (Light or Dawn) Soma (Moon) The Vasus emphasize the interconnectedness between humanity and the elements that sustain life, showing respect for natural forces as divine and sacred. The 11 Rudras: Primal Energies and the Divine Spirit The Rudras signify the ten pranas (vital life forces) within the human body and one spiritual self or Atman. They include: Five spiritual aspects: Ananda (bliss), Vijñāna (knowledge), Manas (thought), Prāṇa (breath/life), and Vāc (speech). Five names of Shiva: Īśāna, Tatpuruṣa, Aghora, Vāmadeva, and Sadyojāta. The Atman (spiritual self), representing the individual soul or consciousness. The Rudras embody the primal energies that drive human life and are essential to spiritual well-being. They reflect the Hindu belief in the unity of physical and spiritual forces, as well as the presence of divinity within each individual. The 2 Ashvins: Twin Healers The Ashvins, known as divine healers, are often depicted as twins and play a crucial role in restoring health and vitality. Their role underlines the Hindu emphasis on physical and spiritual healing as integral to human life. The 33 Koti and the 33 Vertebrae: A Spiritual Symbolism in Human Anatomy Interestingly, the concept of “33 Koti Devatas” finds a symbolic parallel in the 33 vertebrae of the human spine. The vertebral column is a crucial structure, supporting the body and facilitating the flow of nervous energy, which is central to movement, sensation, and overall health. The 7 cervical vertebrae align with higher faculties and intellectual abilities. The 12 thoracic vertebrae correspond to the torso and can metaphorically represent the solar Adityas as protectors of life’s physical structure. The 5 lumbar vertebrae embody strength and support, much like the elemental Vasus.

The 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae reflect a grounding connection to the earth and physical existence, resonating with the earthly energies of the Vasus and Rudras. The human spine thus becomes a metaphor for spiritual elevation, with each vertebra representing a step towards higher awareness and alignment with cosmic principles. Just as the spine supports the body’s structure, the 33 categories of devatas support the spiritual structure of the cosmos in Hindu thought. Dispelled Myths: A New Perspective on “33 Koti Devatas” The misconception of “33 crore gods” has been leveraged by those aiming to distort Hinduism’s complex theological framework, portraying it as a polytheistic belief system with an exaggerated multitude of gods. This misinterpretation undermines the nuanced philosophical aspects of Hinduism and diverts attention from its deep-rooted spiritual symbolism. Correcting this understanding sheds light on Hinduism’s reverence for the diverse, interconnected forces that sustain life and the cosmos. In essence, Hinduism’s “33 Koti Devatas” remind us of the unity in diversity within both nature and the human experience. This realization helps us appreciate the role of these deities as guiding energies in the Hindu cosmology, inspiring individuals to live in harmony with the divine principles that govern the universe and our very being.   The post 3 Koti Devatas: Misunderstood as ‘Crore’ Gods, Truly 33 Divine Types Aligned with Nature and Self appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.

This misinterpretation has fueled misleading narratives that paint Hinduism as a polytheistic faith with an overwhelming number of gods. However, a closer look at the etymology and ancient scriptures reveals that “koti” in Sanskrit can also mean “type” or “category,” not exclusively “crore.” In this context, the phrase “33 Koti Devatas” refers to 33 classes or types of divine forces rather than an exaggerated number of gods. This significant misinterpretation has persisted partly due to a lack of awareness, even among some prominent Hindu leaders and scholars. Correcting this narrative allows for a better understanding of Hindu cosmology and philosophy. Let’s explore what “33 Koti Devatas” truly represents and why the connection with the 33 vertebrae in the human spine provides a fascinating metaphor for spiritual alignment. 33 Koti Devatas: Types of Divine Forces The “33 Koti Devatas” encompasses four main categories of deities or cosmic powers in the Vedic tradition: 12 Adityas – Representing Solar Deities 8 Vasus – Embodying Elemental Forces of Nature 11 Rudras – Symbolizing Vital Energies and Spiritual Self 2 Ashvins – Representing Divine Healers or Twin Deities The 12 Adityas: Guardians of Solar Energy and Social Order The 12 Adityas correspond to the solar months and are personified deities, each embodying aspects of cosmic law and societal values. They include: Indra (the eldest, symbolizing strength and leadership) Aryaman (nobility and friendship) Mitra (unity and bonds) Varuna (cosmic law and fate) Surya/Vivasvan (social law and righteousness) Each Aditya represents a vital aspect of human existence and societal structure, closely tied to the solar months that mark time, seasons, and agricultural cycles, emphasizing their connection to natural and social order. The 8 Vasus: Elements of Nature The Vasus represent natural forces essential for life. These include: Anil (Wind) Apas (Water) Dhara (Earth) Anal (Fire) Prabhas (Light or Dawn) Soma (Moon) The Vasus emphasize the interconnectedness between humanity and the elements that sustain life, showing respect for natural forces as divine and sacred. The 11 Rudras: Primal Energies and the Divine Spirit The Rudras signify the ten pranas (vital life forces) within the human body and one spiritual self or Atman. They include: Five spiritual aspects: Ananda (bliss), Vijñāna (knowledge), Manas (thought), Prāṇa (breath/life), and Vāc (speech). Five names of Shiva: Īśāna, Tatpuruṣa, Aghora, Vāmadeva, and Sadyojāta. The Atman (spiritual self), representing the individual soul or consciousness. The Rudras embody the primal energies that drive human life and are essential to spiritual well-being. They reflect the Hindu belief in the unity of physical and spiritual forces, as well as the presence of divinity within each individual. The 2 Ashvins: Twin Healers The Ashvins, known as divine healers, are often depicted as twins and play a crucial role in restoring health and vitality. Their role underlines the Hindu emphasis on physical and spiritual healing as integral to human life. The 33 Koti and the 33 Vertebrae: A Spiritual Symbolism in Human Anatomy Interestingly, the concept of “33 Koti Devatas” finds a symbolic parallel in the 33 vertebrae of the human spine. The vertebral column is a crucial structure, supporting the body and facilitating the flow of nervous energy, which is central to movement, sensation, and overall health. The 7 cervical vertebrae align with higher faculties and intellectual abilities. The 12 thoracic vertebrae correspond to the torso and can metaphorically represent the solar Adityas as protectors of life’s physical structure. The 5 lumbar vertebrae embody strength and support, much like the elemental Vasus.

The 5 sacral vertebrae and 4 coccygeal vertebrae reflect a grounding connection to the earth and physical existence, resonating with the earthly energies of the Vasus and Rudras. The human spine thus becomes a metaphor for spiritual elevation, with each vertebra representing a step towards higher awareness and alignment with cosmic principles. Just as the spine supports the body’s structure, the 33 categories of devatas support the spiritual structure of the cosmos in Hindu thought. Dispelled Myths: A New Perspective on “33 Koti Devatas” The misconception of “33 crore gods” has been leveraged by those aiming to distort Hinduism’s complex theological framework, portraying it as a polytheistic belief system with an exaggerated multitude of gods. This misinterpretation undermines the nuanced philosophical aspects of Hinduism and diverts attention from its deep-rooted spiritual symbolism. Correcting this understanding sheds light on Hinduism’s reverence for the diverse, interconnected forces that sustain life and the cosmos. In essence, Hinduism’s “33 Koti Devatas” remind us of the unity in diversity within both nature and the human experience. This realization helps us appreciate the role of these deities as guiding energies in the Hindu cosmology, inspiring individuals to live in harmony with the divine principles that govern the universe and our very being.   The post 3 Koti Devatas: Misunderstood as ‘Crore’ Gods, Truly 33 Divine Types Aligned with Nature and Self appeared first on Global Governance News- Asia's First Bilingual News portal for Global News and Updates.
