Tattvabodha: Bodha means knowledge. tattva means the essence or the Truth. The text covers the vision of the es- sence of everything.

Lata Pimplaskar ~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~**~~ Bal Vihar By Vikram Meyyappan This session started off with Malathi aunty’s chanting class at 9:30am as usual. She taught us the right way to chant “Manojavam marutatulyavegam,” a sloka for Hanumanji. She talked about the greatness of Hanumanji and the importance of chanting this sloka. This was followed by the regular chanting session. In the main hall, Ramesh uncle talked about Sri Rama Navami – the birthday of Rama. He said traditionally everybody chanted the “Vishnu Sahasranamam”, or thousand names of Vishnu. To explain how people started chant- ing the sloka “Sri Rama Raama Rameti” instead of chanting the thousand names of Vishnu, he told us a story on Lord Shiva and Parvati. As usual, some announcements were made during this session. Ramesh uncle said the tentative dates for the Mother’s Day celebration and the Balvihar picnic would be May 11th and June 8th, respectively. Chetna aunty also reminded us about the cancer walk and asked those who were interested to register. Students reported to their classrooms and later did yoga. Towards the end, we had Aarti and lunch. The next session will be at the Indian Cultural Center on Route 73. This will be the last session prior to Annual Day on May 3rd at Thomas E Harrington Middle School at Mount Laurel. I wish everyone a happy and a fun-filled Annual Day. Monthly Pujas at Mandir It is a pleasure to perform Satyanarayan puja and read Sunder- kand Path at our Temple with family and friends. We invite you to join us and perform Satyanarayan puja every Purnima day with family and friends and receive the blessings of Almighty God. Donations are welcome. Suggested donation is $ 31.

It was a peaceful way to start the youth session. As usual, we continued our morning with yoga and meditation with Praveen Uncle. We finished aarthi and lunch early because we were going to play Holi. We had an Indian lunch, instead of the regular pizza. After- wards we played Holi. We all enjoyed throwing colors on each other. The first activity on April 13th’s youth session was the recitation of mantras. We then performed 30 min- utes of yoga and meditation. Those made us feel refreshed! In our activity time, Chetna Auntie talked to the Youths about doing community service and what to do to prepare for college. Along with that she talked about the Relay for Life walk-a-thon for the American Cancer Association at Cherokee High School. It is an event that any- one can register for. There will also be fun activities there like face painting. You can contact Chetna Auntie at [email protected] for more information. After this, we discussed details of our upcoming Annual Day, which is being held on Saturday, May 3.

Padilla, PhD Frank Scheide, PhD Committee Member Committee Member Abstract This project analyzes adaptation in the Hindi film industry and how the concepts of gender and identity have changed from the original text to the contemporary adaptation. The original texts include religious epics, Shakespeare’s plays, Bengali novels which were written pre- independence, and Hollywood films. This venture uses adaptation theory as well as postmodernist and postcolonial theories to examine how women and men are represented in the adaptations as well as how contemporary audience expectations help to create the identity of the characters in the films.

  • A Study on Visual Story Telling Techniques of Maniratnam Movies: Cinematography and Mise En Scene Analysis of Selected Movies
    Annals of R.S.C.B., ISSN:1583-6258, Vol. 25, Issue 6, 2021, Pages. 9599 - 9606 Received 25 April 2021; Accepted 08 May 2021. A Study on Visual Story Telling Techniques of Maniratnam Movies: Cinematography and Mise en scene Analysis of Selected Movies 1 2 Mena M, Varun Prabha T 1Post Graduate Student, MA JMC,Dept.of Visual Media and Communication,Amrita School of Arts and Sciences,Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, Kochi, India 2Assistant Professor, Dept.of Visual Media and Communication,Amrita School of Arts and Sciences,Amrita VishwaVidyapeetham, Kochi, India Abstract Visually representing a story is an art. Mastering that art and capturing human minds into the soul of the characters of the film and mirroring the very own society was part of Mani Ratnam’s life for the past three decades. This research paper points towards some of the techniques employed and experiments conducted in visual storytellingin his various projects by using Miseen scene elements and cinematography in beautiful ways. In Roja what he Sasnthosh Sivan and Mani Ratnam experimented was painting the reflectors green, to look the grass greener than it actually is. In Thapalathy, Mani ratnam projected a yellowish light, like an aura into the protagonist which symbolizes his history and background. In Bombay, he throughout kept a blue tone in order to gives an element of mystery in the film. In Raavanan, he played with shades and light and that too in two different ways at the beginning and at the end of the films. In Alaipayuthe he presented the story more through the movements of camera and through micro expressions and symbolizations.Theglobalization and evolution of Indian Cinematography can be traced out through the works of Mani Ratnam.

  • Coalition Between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A
    Journal of Education & Social Policy Vol. 1 No. 1; June 2014 Coalition between Politics & Entertainment in Hindi Films: A Discourse Analysis Dr. C. M. Vinaya Kumar Assistant Professor & Head Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Krishna University Machilipatnam-521 001 91-9985085530 Romesh Chaturvedi Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, 91-9721964685 India Shruti Mehrotra Sr. Lecturer Amity School of Communication Amity University, Lucknow Campus Uttar Pradesh, India 91-9451177264 Abstract The study attempts to explore dynamics of political discourse as reflected in Hindi films. Political messages in most Hindi films are concealed within entertainment. Films use thrilling & entertaining plots mixed with political content in order to convey their messages to the public. Films not only reflect reality but also construct the political ideology. The public is generally unaware of the extent to which they are being influenced, managed and conditioned by the political discourses in Hindi films. This study attempts to conduct the discourse analysis on the Hindi film “Chakravyuh” to find how politics and entertainment are merged together to influence public opinion. The film is based on the dark, largely-unexposed world of the Naxalites fighting for their land and dignity. Discourse analysis of the film will help in exploring how an entertaining film can carry a meaningful message. For over 40 years in India, since the emergence of the Naxalite rebellion, cinema has drawn inspiration from the rupture caused by this iconic movement in Indian political history. Hindi films seem to have woken up to Naxalism, or Maoism, as it is more commonly known today.
