3D Natir Puja To Be Screened In Bangladesh

A 3D colour recreation of the only film of Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore ever made, "Natir Puja" (1932), is expected to be screened in Bangladesh.

The film, unveiled in this year's Cannes Film Market, has been revived by Professor Karl Bardosh, Hungarian-born American academic and filmmaker, after it was destroyed in a 1933 fire in the warehouse of New Theatres studio in Kolkata, reports our New Delhi correspondent.

Bardosh said that he filmed it on the very soundstage in New Theatres where Tagore shot “Natir Puja" based on Tagore’s dance-drama.

Bardosh, who has taught in New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Kanbar Institute of Film and Television, for two decades, said, "As a researcher, my interest in Tagore goes back a long, long way. I have always wanted to make a film inspired by his work."

Filmed in 3D by Dutch cinematographer Leonard Retel Helmrich, who devised the innovative "single shot cinema" technique, "Natir Puja features Sujata Awon Pradhan's Kolkata-based dance group Nrityalok.

Noted Rabindrasangeet exponent Jayati Chakraborty gave her voice on the film’s soundtrack.

"Natir Puja had its world premiere last week at the New York Indian Film Festival before making the trip to Cannes.

Bardosh said, "I will travel to Bangladesh next. It will be screened for the country's Prime Minister. I am now looking for distributor in India and am in talks with a couple of leading exhibitors."

He said the idea of recreating “Natir Puja” came with the intention of marking the centenary of both Indian cinema and the conferment of the Nobel Prize on Tagore.

"I see myself as only a medium. It is Tagore's hand that has driven me to realise this dream," says Bardosh.

Pivotal Secures $253M From Ford and Microsoft

Pivotal, the platform as a service company spun out from VMware and EMC three years ago, today announced plans to close a series C financing round worth $253 million led by Ford, Microsoft and its existing investors GE and its two parent companies.

Pivotal is one of the leading vendors behind the Cloud Foundry PaaS, the commercialized version of the open source project. Cloud Foundry provides an environment for developers to build applications; it provisions the infrastructure needed to run and scale them.

Perhaps most interesting about the announcement are the new investors: Ford and Microsoft. Ford follows GE as an investor in the company, indicating its heavy use of CF and its desire to ensure the company’s future viability and success. Ford last week launched FordPass, a consumer platform that the company says was built with Pivotal.

Executive Vice President of Microsoft Cloud and Enterprise Scott Guthrie said in a statement that investing in Pivotal is about ensuring that Microsoft Azure is equipped to run Java apps using Cloud Foundry. “Today’s announcement is a reflection of this commitment, along with our continued emphasis on choice and flexibility across our cloud platform,” Gurthie said.

Pivotal’s first quarter revenue rose 56% year over year to $83 million. The company says that seven of the top 10 U.S. banks, three of the top five global auto manufacturers and five of the top 10 telecommunications companies use Pivotal in some fashion. It has 2,000 employees in 17 offices around the world. It’s first two rounds of funding totaled $358 million and this round is expected to close this month.

Skull art however is not a new culture. For centuries, skulls have been used as art and decoration and American artists started experimenting with skulls art in the1920s.

By the 1970s, skull imagery found its way into t-shirts, accessories and pop art. It was not until the last decade when we finally saw the popularisation of pop art. There are no boundaries in the way skulls can be used in art today and Anwar is one typical example of a local artist who decided to incorporate the culture in a unique way. See Full Story

Did gods create mankind, or did mankind create gods?

The back cover screams this question at the reader with the preamble concluding that this book by Ajay Kansal deals with establishing the fact that anthropologies and histories lead to one conclusion – mankind created gods!

The writer starts off with a very arresting question in the preface – Why are there many religions but only one science on the earth and you would expect a atheist’s rant coming along in the next 200 odd pages. But he surprises with the balance and poise of his argument with never the book turning onto an anti-theist track. Ajay Kansal takes us along on the journey of the evolution of mankind from the nomadic human to the agriculturist to the social animal by tracing his religious evolution.

He tells us that the religious journey of man began right in his nomadic days with abundant mysteries of nature boggling him scared like night, animals, pregnancy, ghosts, etc. This fear of man gave birth to the concept of a superhuman somewhere with immense powers – the very concept of god. Nomadic man began worshipping the things that relived him from his fears – Fire, Sun and Sky and thus began nature worship. Later with him turning to agriculture the fear of food scarcity came in and with it developed the fertility cult – the worship of the goddess. Agriculture led to settlements that led to diseases, which proved another mystery for human minds, and up came the concept of a punishing god – The Yahweh of Judaism. The beliefs were prominent that diseases are punishments from the super power and ways to please the punishing god were sort out which led to the barbaric practice to sacrifices – human and animal. With the punishment culture settling in, came the problems of cruelty, injustice and exploitation which it required some relief. This requirement of mankind gets fulfilled in the form of a kind merciful god – Jesus of Christianity. While this was the story of the western side of the globe the eastern side too underwent similar change patterns with fire, sky and sun worships being followed in the name of yagnas leading to only affluent strata’s of the society understanding worships and gods. The need was simplification of religion and a prince-turned-ascetic is the answer – Buddha of Buddhism. With a major part of the population understanding and following Buddhism the priests of the earlier practiced religion of the land – Hinduism revamp the teachings to revolve around thousands of gods and millions of folklores about the gods, getting it back to be the favorite of the people.

Ajay Kansal has written an excellent book about the religious evolution of mankind filled with historical facts and scientific proofs. There is hardly any invalid talk that is not supported by hard facts concerning the discussion. Be it the proof of first human burials at Skhul caves in Israel or talk of a solar cult, with the Stonehenge in England and Konark in India as proofs of its existence, he talks in facts. While he talks about the temple snake healers in Greece, he also questions on why only domesticated animals like bull or goat were offered to the gods in sacrifice by priests; why not a tiger? He challenges the reader to question beliefs and rituals not for the faith but for their authenticity and need. He emphasizes that the creator for mankind is not god but ‘fear’ – fear creates gods and still keeps them alive, in spite of all facts and faults. Even while the biggest belief of humanity that diseases are the wrath of the gods, they are the demons possessing humans – something that led to the most gory and barbaric practices by mankind, the witch hunting episodes of the west and human sacrifices of the east – lays shattered owing to scientific advancements, modern fears still keeps the gods thriving.

A work that talks so well based on facts, is weakened some what in narration by the writer’s continuous projection of priests of every religion, in every era as clever self-centered beings who created gods, rituals, traditions etc. for more selfish reasons than social ones. Also the writer being a doctor and Hindu unwittingly emphasizes more on the chapters dealing with diseases and Hinduism, which form the two longest chapters in the book while an equal depth in other areas is missing.

Not one of the best books on the subject but a very decent one for overall understanding of Religious Evolution of Mankind which moved from new problems to new gods to new religions.
