Mahabharat explains all aspects of life..

The Mahabharat contains the cultural history of great (mahãn) India (Bharat). Most of the people often call it as mythological; let me make it very clear it's not MYTHOLOGICAL. because the word mythological means based on MYTHS, where as‘Mahabharat’ is a documentary poem based on true events.

Written by Maharshi Veda Vyãsji, Mahabharat is the fifth Veda. It contains eighteen parvas (chapters) and a hundred thousand shloks.

The author has made it clear that nothing worth saying has been left out, and that nothing pointless has been said.

ALSO READ: Lyrics & English Translations of Draupadi entry song,'Kumari Chapi Panchali' from Mahabharat !

In one of the shlok, Maharshi Veda Vyãsji wrote:

धर्मे च अर्थे च कामे च मोक्षे च भरतर्षभ। 
यदिहास्ति तदन्यत्र यन्नेहास्ति न तत्क्वचित् ।।

Dharme cha arthe cha kaame cha mokshe cha bharatarshabha.
Yadhihasti tadanyatra yannehasti na tadkvachit..


Dharma, artha, kãma and moksha considered as four happenings in life. The above shlok means,

Hindi Translation: महर्षि वेदव्यास ने घोषणा की थी कि धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष के सम्बन्ध में जो कुछ महाभारत में कह दिया गया है उसके बाद कुछ कहने को शेष नहीं रहता. Dharm, arth, kaam tatha moksh mein vibhajit ye sakal vishwa..Mahabharat ki katha mein samahit hai..Hey Raja Arjun, jo isme nahi woh anyaat kahi nahi..

English Translation: O Arjun!. O scion of the Bharat race, whatever dharma, artha, kaam and moksha exists in the world, exists in the text, whatever is not in the text does not exist elsewhere..

Thus, Mahabharat can be seen in the world, and whatever has not been said here is not to be seen anywhere in the entire Universe. The complete divine volume of this book explains all aspects of life and is considered as an encyclopedia of India’s sanãtan dharma (cultural) history. That’s the main reason it has attained great respect in world literature.

Actor Farhan Khan, who was last seen in Sony TV’s Chhanchhan starring Sanya Irani bagged a lead role in Aditya Chopra’s next.  The film is rumoured to be remake of 1995 blockbuster film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayege’. Shahrukh Khan and Kajol starrer DDLJ one of the biggest smash hits of Bollywood and went on to become one of the largest grosser in Indian film history.

According to our sources, "Aditya already started working on the script of the film, which is tentatively titled   ‘Dulhaniya Chali Dilwale Ke Saath’.

Chhanchhan Fame Farhan Khan Stills!

      Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it..

      Rudyard Kipling's 'If' which has eight-line stanzas of advice to his son. In 1909, he wrote this with Dr Leander Starr Jameson in mind. Jameson (In 1895) led about 500 of his countrymen in a failed raid against the Boers, in southern Africa. What became known as the Jameson Raid was later cited as a major factor in bringing about the Boer War of 1899 to 1902.  But the story as recounted in Britain was quite different. The British defeat was interpreted as a victory and Jameson portrayed as a daring hero.

      Why Ekta Kapoor decided to disassociate herself from Jodha Akbar?

      Annoyed and dissatisfied with Ekta Kapoor’s false promises regarding taking her controversial serial Jodha Akbar off air, the Karni Sena members finally decided to launch a nationwide campaign against the soap queen.

      Last month, they interrupted Ekta’s speech and later they tried to block traffic on Ambala-Hisar highway. For those uninitiated, the Shri Rajput Karni Sena is a community-based organisation that has been endlessly protesting against Kapoor for ‘distorting facts' related to the Rajput history in her serial starring Rajat Tokas as Jalaluddin Muhammed Akbar and Paridhi Sharma as Rajkumari Jodha Bai.

      Last week, members of Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha went to Balaji office for a protest.

      Kapoor has been so disappointed because of this that she finally decided to disassociate herself from the daily soap. That means Balaji Telefilms will no longer be part of the show.

      Since 17 February, 2014 (last Monday), Ekta and her mother Shobha Kapoor's name have been missing from the opening and closing credits. Zee TV will soon officially take her names off from the show. The channel has decided to continue telecasting the show with a new production house, as its doing good.

      Vivek Oberoi follows Salman Khan into Narendra Modi support!

      Wherever Salman Khan goes, Vivek Oberoi seems to follow!

      After Salman receiving tremendous flak and even a Jai Ho boycott call from Muslim groups for flying a kite with Hindutva icon Narendra Modi, now it is his old ‘best friend’ Vivek Oberoi’s turn to support the controversial BJP politico.

      Vivek recently flagged off the ‘Run For Your Country’ marathon in Mumbai which was organized for educating women and youth to cast a vote in the upcoming general elections. Interacting with the media, the actor said he wanted Modi to be India's next Prime Minister.

      So is Vivek trying to tread in Salman’s footsteps? Will his act of turning a Modi supporter invoke another taunting reaction from the megastar? These are a few questions that immediately come to the mind.

      We asked Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar about this, but he surprisingly shot to Vivek’s defence. “Why do the media always link Vivek to Salman? Past is past. Let them move on,” he quipped.

      But would Vivek following Salman’s tactic of Modi-support arouse a PR crisis situation for him too? “There seems to be no ‘tactic’ here. Can’t an actor have his own political preferences?” counter-questioned the crisis management expert.

      The media needs to respect personal choices of all celebrities rather than draw battle lines with differentiation or comparisons,” he remarked. It’s only later we learnt that the publicist has earlier handled a makeover media blitz for Vivek and that could be a reason he was being so defensive about the actor.

      Is Baby Doll video featuring Sunny Leone inspired from Jennifer, Lady Gaga and Dev?

      The latest song of Ragini MMS 2 Baby Doll featuring hot and sizzling Sunny Leone has received nearly 4 million views on YouTube. The song shows the (ex) porn star sinking onto a pile of semi-naked bodies. Well, with plenty of leg, black gloves, cup pose and background of writhing bodies brings across a lot of resemblance with not just one but three different artists from the west.

      It seems it’s inspired from Jennifer Lopez's Dance Again, Lady Gaga's Applause and Dev's In the Dark. One can easily notice the uncanny resemblance of Baby Doll with these songs.
