Parveen Babi: a Perfumed Body

We heard that the ‘fire’ friends of UG couldn’t resist meeting at the residence of K. Chandrasekhar, in Bangalore on 22nd March (2008), the day a year ago UG said good bye to his mortal body. As we all know, Chandrasekhar is a pious and long-standing UG’s brand friend and well-known UG’s archiver, and in a sense he is more like a catalyst to bait UG brand to a larger chores of people in Bangalore. For Chandrasekhar, now UG is more alive and his (Chandrasekhar’s) actions and enthusiasm would speak it well.

Among other things, on this occasion a Kannada version of UG’s (Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti) brand book, ‘The Mystique of Enlightenment’ was brought out; one Mr Shama Rao rendered this Kannada translation, it seems. Mahesh Bhatt’s presence on the occasion was glittering and glitzy, as I guess.

Another proud moment was that of the release of an interesting booklet on Parveen Babi’s account as well as encounter of her own life after she met that fire UG. This booklet was compiled by none other than our friend Madhusudhana Rao (Madhu), with the full support of K Chandrasekhar. Interestingly and fittingly this glittering booklet of Parveen Babi’s encounter with her life and UG, was released on the occasion by Mahesh Bhatt and the first copy was received by none other than Mrs. Suguna Chandrasekhar – a most pious and admired lady of UG. I understand, many of us may not know the other side or face of Parveen Babi,who was projected and portrayed as a lust-brand actress, seductress and Bollywood star in the glamorous glittering glitzy Hindi film world. But very few people know the duress of her life. Thanks to Mahesh Bhatt, her encounter with UG was just her encounter with her own life. The Booklet brought out by Madhu, may shed a new phase of light on Parveen Babi’s life, in the context of UG. I understand, there are millions of Parveen Babis’ amongst us.

Ours is a mad hypocritical holy shit society. In a sense the whole spirituality and duality stuff is the biggest filth and lie on this earth. UG says, “we are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there, or the flies that are hovering around us …”

As long as this world wont take the hard reality that first and foremost and forever we are neuro-biological, the whole humanity is bound to end up in a state of neurosis, as UG somewhere points out quite sarcastically.

Living is Instant, Believing is Distant

Death is not the opposite of life, it is belief that is the very opposite and negation of life. The flow of life is always notwithstanding our knowing or not knowing. We kill our life in our beliefs and knowledge bundles.

We exhaust more and most of our years in knowing and believing, and least or never in ‘living our life’. The crescendo of living our life always lies in transcending and traversing beyond our attempted knowing or believing. Knowingly or unknowingly we postpone our life in our attempts to accumulate borrowed knowing or believing. Life in its full penetration and expression is always irrespective of and beyond our borrowed knowledge, experiences or beliefs.

Not that we don’t want knowledge and belief, but our life strives straight without even a small connection on our borrowed and accumulated knowledge and or belief. We do necessarily need know-how, certain belief in our mundane, routine world of utility and worldly survival. But the revival and living of our life force is always spontaneous, instant, and now. It doesn’t have even the tiniest taint of our borrowed knowledge or belief.

This existence moves, lives and functions with all thriving force and precision, not because there are scholarly dictionaries or encyclopaedias or accumulated data banks. For our manufactured or established utility world, we do need knowledge banks and beliefs. But the existence is the very instant non-split living paradigm of instant spontaneous wisdoms and actions. We can never copy or store it. Only dead things and corpses are stored or preserved. Living force and life as it is always transcends everything at one stroke or swing.

A vibrant morning mist there; birds are chirping with all actions; budding flowers shedding their fragrance amidst the whispering whistles of cool blowing breezes; tiny growing transparent green leaves and plants penetrating the lights there; withering falling floating expired dry leaves; flowing water and river; remote yet connected mountains and floating clouds up in the skies – are these not the wonders of wonders to our virgin naked eyes?

Yes, living is instant, believing is distant.
