Here I am in India. I came with so many hopes, dreams, and especially ideas. It is amazing to see how one's wishes are always fulfilled, but at the right time of course. There is nothing like the right time. One time I read in my horoscope that "desires change you" and I have experienced how this is true. Your desires will change you because time will transform and purify you to the point that you are ready for the fulfillment of those desires, of course I am talking about spiritual and seva related desires. It is actually all a very long story that I will have to write later, since it is now 10pm and time to sleep, but the gist is this: I have desires for using all fields of art for the purpose of spreading the highest message which is the essence of all beauty, and the origin of all art, in this world. Actually, art exists for this very purpose and you can look at it this way without having to get all esoterically philosophical and cautious: The means is the end. Art is a servant of truth yet artistic expression and truth are somehow related, somehow a similar thing.....hmmmm.
Anyway, all of these wishes are coming true: people are manifesting and they are like desire trees; the come ready to participate in this spiritual artistic revolution. It is almost like they are ready made, born for this, and are now starting to slowly manifest themselves. It just takes one person who is willing to sacrifice themselves for this and then naturally everything else manifests. Something like magic.
Many projects go hand in hand with all of this and one of these is to receive ideas from devotees and friends around the world for the production of conceptual films that can be artistically and creatively presented to the public on behalf of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math.
Here is one idea, and I would appreciate if anyone could add their ideas whether visual, philosophical, or artistic, in the comment section.
This anonymous friend wrote the following:
"What kind of input would you like from me as far as you seva is concerned?
Do you want ideas like this one?
Maybe you could explore the process of the exploitive action.
I mean, why does someone that knows better, act in a way that is unbecoming or exploitive.
Break down the whole processes.
How we came to be in this body, and what that entails;
The desire to fulfill the senses, and the way we are to varying degrees, slaves to our senses.
How the mind can become muddled in our desires and lifetimes of trying, in vain, to be happy as an exploiter of our surroundings.
And then lay out the process of breaking free from the material concepts of happiness.
I don't know, just throwing it out there. Is this the kind of Ideas you want?"
Of course!
Any slokas? Video clips to direct us to? Photos? Artwork? Memories? Experiences? Incidents? Realizations? Concepts?
Very much needed. The idea is to make this short poetic film and show it in museums, libraries, youtube, universities, and maybe enter it in film festivals...
