Don't distort facts Sir, In response to A M Batnagar's article "Shri Krishna hurts millions" published recently in the Daily Excelsior, I agree with the perception of the said writer. There is no denying the fact that the mega serial producer Ramanand Sagar is a very reputed talented and a matured film producer. He has done a commendable job in educating the common masses about the less known religious facts. The serials like Ramayana and Krishna are his super-hit popular serials. As matter of fact Ramanand Sagar has sought the help of all relevent religious historical books and other documents available to prepare the serial. But still unfortunately producer has committed grave mistakes especially in the serial Krishna. Religious based serials are very complicated to produce. A very slight mistake hurts millions and gives birth to controversies etc. In the Bhagavad Geeta episode the producer has wrongly and unnecessarily introduced Dritrashtre with a bad, harsh, uncivilised and insulting language against Lord Krishna during his conversation with Sanjay. The producer could have avoided this by using soft and cultured language for Dritrashtra. Ramanand Sagar has committed one more serious mistake in an earlier "Shamsrasur" episode of Krishna. I would like to remind the viewers that in "Shamsasur" episode Shamsrasur sends his powerful "Mayavee" Rakhshe to kill Pradume-Krishna's son. But while the said Rakhshes was in search of Pradume he found Pradume preying deer. He quickly thought upon a plan to reach Pradume. The Rakshes disguished himself as the mother of Pradume who was a bit away from his son. "Mayavee" Rakshes disguised as his mother offered Pradume that she (Rakhshes) will bring the pray (deer) and prepare a good dish for you. But Pradume simply smiled and thus gave his approval or consent to the offer. At this point Pradume was not aware o fthe fact that it was Rakshes (Mayavee) and not his mother. It was at the later stage when his own real mother warned him that the person disguised as your mother is Shamsasur Rakshes and not your mother. Then and there Pradume fights with Rakhshes and kills him. Here the million dollar questions arise whether Pradume was a non-vegetarian (Masahaari or not). If Pradume was "Shaaka Haari", then why did not be object his mother's (Mayavee) offer angrily or reacted in negative. It has confused and hurt the millions. Is it the mistake of the producer or the fact ? If it is mistake then it is a Himalyan blunder for which Sagar Jee should apologise. It being a fact is unbelievable. It is hoped that while preparing the religious based serials the producers and the Door Darshan authorities should be extraordinary cautions to avoid any controversy or confusion. Yours etc...... |
