9.The arrival of Jesus Christ.
Soldiers dragged Jesus Christ through the streets crucified him on a wooden cross and put him to a slow painful death. All this time Jesus wondered why his heavenly father(yahova) didn’t come to his rescue. Jesus’ soul left him and went to heaven. The Heavenly Father(yahova) was waiting for Jesus with the doors wide open.
Jesus wondered while he was going through severe hardships, ignored by others Yahova didn’t help him. God must have explained the reason for this to Jesus. Jesus was sent to Earth to live and die there. Life is full of hardships. Only those who can overcome them are allowed to enter the doors of heaven.
Yahova knew that only Jesus can go through all these pain and sufferings. Jesus knew that his days on earth are numbered. Otherwise Yahova might have avoided his death. Days of all men are numbered. After that either through old age or diseases or accidents or any other manner death will come. Man can live only up to an age. We can’t extend our lives by killing or looting. The loot amount will go to another man after his death. After death the body will become immovable and become earth and dust or burned to ashes. Question of soul will come. Where does it go? What happens after death? Nobody on earth has answered this question. I have not read or heard about it. This is what I think “ Jesus Christ resurrected after 3 days of death.”
Those who have read the Bible and those who believe in Jesus believe that it is true. Truth is unique. What we have seen, known or read may not be true. It depends on our brain’s ability to understand and decipher truth. Those who don’t have this ability may not find truth at all.

8.The Arrival of Jesus Christ(continues)
None of them who were gathered to stone Mary were good people. Hearing the words of Jesus
they threw away the stones and went and led good lives. The prostitute Mary fell on Jesus’ feet and apologized and disowned her previous profession. Jesus blessed her after she took this decision. What can we learn from this? A person, if he realizes his mistake and repent wholeheartedly, he will be relieved of the sins. Knowingly or unknowingly, if one does a mistake and realizes that it was a mistake and if he apologizes and asks for forgiveness from God, then Jesus will forgive him. Again if you do the same mistake, God will not forgive. On the other hand he will punish for the present and previous sins. And the punishment for a sin is death.
Jesus fed five thousand people with five bread and two fish. The bread that he gave them was his words. All those who ate the bread were full and they became like Jesus Christ.
Christianity came at a time when Buddhism and Jewish religion were widespread. Gradually when Christianity spread to more places, more people came to know about Jesus Christ. Many did not accept his preaching. They became his enemies. Jesus was betrayed by one of his own disciple, Judas, for 30 Shekels. What can we learn from this? We can’t trust even our close friends. They can be our classmates, relatives or disciples. We can’t predict whether they will cheat or betray us. But Jesus knew in advance that Judas would betray. Jesus did not show any enmity towards Judas. Love was Jesus’ armor. Jesus would give the sword of love to others and get the love from others. If we give love unconditionally to others, we would also get back love. But we would not get back whatever we give. One example is how Jesus was hated and betrayed by people. Jesus was perhaps the most brutalized person in the entire history of world. There was no limit for the torture he received. Jesus took upon hinself other’s sins and relieved them of their sins. Can anybody else in this world do this? Answer is NO. Only Jesus can do it.

The People And Religions.
1.The First men and Sin:
In the beginning, God created Adam from clay & mud. That was the first human being on earth. Then he created Eve as a companion to Adam from his rib bone. The first man was born in this way. As per the myth, all the present day human beings descent from them. After creating Adam, God must have felt that man was lacking something and so he created a female partner, Eve. Time proved that it was right. Every man has his female partner either legally or illegally. Let us leave it aside and think about it seriously.
2.The Birth of Universe:
In the beginning, the universe was of the shape of an egg and later as the temperature level raised, it expanded and later exploded and thus the universe as we see it today was born.
3.The Birth of the Earth:
The Earth was born millions of years after the birth of the Universe. The Earth was a fragment that got detached from the Sun. At first the Earth was also a boiling fireball like the Sun. After millions of years the surface was cooled down and the Earth in its present form was born.
4.The Birth of Soul(Life)
Life appeared on the Earth for the first time in water on the Earth’s surface. Thus microscopic organisms invisible to the human eye were developed. They multiplied in number and began to change forms. Organisms visible to the naked eye then developed. Thus fishes were born. Life spread to anywhere there was water. Soon life spread to the banks also. Thus amphibians developed and some became plants. Deep forests developed. Worms first developed in wet soil, later they became reptiles and from them birds developed. At first the reptiles jumped from one point to another and gradually they developed wings and became fully developed to fly. Thus birds were born. When birds captured the sky, the animals occupied the land. With the passage of time, the reptiles grew in size and became gigantic creatures that could raise their head high up in air. And thus in the Jurassic age the dinosaurs developed. There is proof of science to support the theory that once the land was dominated by gigantic creatures. Their fossils are still preserved. The reason for their extinction is proved to be a meteor from the outer sky.
The Earth surface was deserted for millions of years afterwards. Then again after several millions of years, the animals and plants were again born. For example if we make the land barren in our property by cutting trees and bushes, we can see that after some years again new trees and bushes will come up there. Similar actions take place on Earth’s surface too. Birds, animals, plants etc also take birth and die. Like the two faces of a coin, birth and death are non-stop on Earth.
5.The Birth of First Humans
It took millions of years for the first animal to take birth. But the later animals were not gigantic like their predecessors. They were only 4 – 5 feet tall. These animals later developed into Apes. At first they walked on 4 feet and later on 2 feet. The 2 legs in front were raised, to be used as hands. It was like an animal standing straight. Later on they adapted to walk on 2 legs. The front 2 legs were used to clutch food and do other activities. It was the first ape to resemble human beings. Human beings developed from them. These primitive humans were not very simple. They were more intelligent, had good hearing, ate a lot and mated a lot. So their population increased. As their population increased, they left deep forests and settled near riverbanks in groups. They led very open lives. The primitive humans lacked any control, which changed once they had a tribe head. They waited in patience for the orders from their chief. Those who did not accept the leadership left the group and formed their smaller tribes. There were frequent battles between the groups. The members of the tribe fought first and then the tribal chiefs will fight. This was followed for a very long time.
In times of failures or sufferings or diseases and death, they remembered to pray to God. Fire was their first God. The reason was none other than their fear of lightning and fire. In due course they started worshipping fire. When lightning occurred or when they saw a forest fire or the fire by rubbing of rocks, he would clasp his hands in prayer. “God, don’t let anything happen to us” was their first prayer. Fear made man create God. They feared fire and later worshipped. God is something that they fear. Next to fire, they worshipped wind and water also. When man realized that he would die of snakebite, he stated fearing snakes and later started worshipping also. They created idols of snake and worshipped it. There were fierce battles between tribes and tribal chiefs in the name of God. One group of tribals came up with the idol of an ox and started worshipping it. The idol was decorated and worshipped with festivals. They were not afraid of the chiefs and lived as they wished. Drinking, Dancing, shouting, they lived merrily. When there was nobody to control them, the first prophet, Moses came.
6.The arrival of first Prophet:
He stood in their midst and pointed his tablet at them and said, “Believe me people, what ever we thought true is not actually true. These are the Ten Commandments from God. Anybody who obeys them will become God’s child.”
People believed Moses and started obeying the Ten Commandments. Moses was accepted as their Prophet. They listened to his words and started obeying him. Moses performed several miracles. Many who lived in wrong ways, changed their ways after hearing him. His Ten Commandments enlightened many and he got several followers.
Many prophets followed, like Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. World became a better place due to their presence.
7.The arrival of Jesus Christ:
Jesus was born in a cattle shed. Why did the Son of God take birth in a cattle shed? Why not in a royal palace or as a rich lord? The answer to this question is another question. Who is the biggest among humans? We know that the biggest or highest is the strongest who can defeat any other man. But you are wrong. “The biggest is the one who acts smallest”. By taking birth in a cattle shed, he could identify with the poorest of the world. This is what God has showed us – neither of us is above another one. People who are born high in society or in rich family need not be above another one in the God’s eye. Having money or muscle power or having goondas to assist or having gold or diamonds or accumulating weapons will not help someone to become great. Nor do stealing another’s wealth will help someone to become great. These are not right methods. Only downtrodden people will do that. Illegal ways are sinful. One who acts small leaving behind his own self and pride and show compassion to fellow human beings is the real great man. Jesus had these qualities. So Jesus is great.
Money is the source of pride. Its said that pride goes before a fall. If one doesn’t have any penny, he will be humble and once he gets rich, we can see his true character coming out. So money changes men. Money gives power. Today’s social circumstances allow even criminals to come to power. This is through ‘disguising’. According to Indian Penal code clause 419, it is criminal offence and the person can get even imprisonment. Today’s scientific achievements are in favor of these criminals.
Having money and the scientific innovations may make one feel that he is somebody very high. Humility should be the biggest qualification. Jesus Christ was the greatest man who lived on Earth. It is wastage of time to think that Son of God took birth on Earth and lived through hardships and did all wonders. It is a myth. Jesus was born as a human and through his good character and good actions and through clarity of Words; he became the real Son of God. Through him, the World got a better religion, that is Christianity.
There were many religions even before Christ. But they all ended like water bubbles. If Christianity does not have that fate, then credit goes to Jesus Christ. He was so great. His words were beautiful and high. They were formulas to lead a man towards righteousness. This is the reason why Christianity did not become water bubble like other religions. Getting into the words of Jesus, “He who sins must be punished” is the rule, but the punishers should not be sinners. When people stoned the prostitute Mary Magdalene, Jesus said, “Let He who hasn’t sinned, stone her first”. From Jesus’ teaching, we understand that one who judges others should first judge himself. If the person giving punishment is himself a criminal, what is the point in punishments?

People searching for happiness and people searching for sadness
What comes after day? Many of us know that its night. Similarly behind happiness is sadness. Behind laughing is crying. If we laugh once, we may cry at another time. Like that if we are happy once, we may be sad at another time. When the day dawns, night comes. People want to be happy always. Nobody likes to be sad. Similarly nobody likes hardships and misery in life. What is happiness? When a man’s needs and likes are satisfied, he will be happy. There may several things that a man likes. For some it may be drinking, for some it might be viewing a movie or for some it may sex with his sweetheart. Besides these traveling, eating good food, owning a vehicle, games etc can also make people happy. People chasing happiness do not think about sadness.
The most important thing for happiness as we all know is money. Money brings happiness. What to do if there is no money? It is then that a man goes for a job and those who are averse to the idea of job goes and steals or robs others money. To be happy one needs money. One has to earn ones living. People who steal and rob will get rich and he can be happy for some time. After sometime he will again become penniless. Again he will rob or steal. This should remind us of one thing. People take all these efforts to be happy. Honest people earn their happiness through righteous ways and some others select other evil ways.
We might do many things to get happiness. We can see people running around searching for happiness. They will gather where they get happiness. People fight against each other to get happiness. They will split others head to find happiness. Now you know the reason for all these fights. Everything for a little happiness. But, nobody wishes for sadness. Similarly crying and darkness are also disliked.
Will anybody wish to cry today? Similarly, will anybody like darkness? Or else to like darkness, crying and sadness, one should become mentally unstable. Or else we should discard our likes and wants and ambitions. On the other hand what happens if people become mentally unstable, lets see what will be their state then. These people will be either sad and depressed always or they will be in love with darkness. Another group of people will always be mourning. Whatever they think or say, they will keep on weeping. Normal people will not like sadness, darkness and crying.
Among the normal people there are two kinds who find happiness, one is through good and righteous ways and the other through evil ways. People who make money through righteous ways are numbered. Today almost all people who search for happiness either in India or abroad are traveling the evil ways. People who money in the right way are those who do job or business. Others are all involved in making fake currency, illegal distilleries, illegal lottery, drug peddlers or immoral trafficking. Happiness revolves around such group of people. This group is liked and praised today. Most of them got into these trades knowingly or unknowingly. If anybody talks against them, they will be silenced.
Now you know where happiness and sadness resides. If this is the situation of the world today, then we can imagine what might be the situation tomorrow.

My Essays
Cinema and community.
Cinema and community.We know that Cinema is an Audio – Visual medium. More than one person is involved in the production of a movie. Many of us don’t know that the thoughts of a director and a scriptwriter can make a lot of difference in society. You might ask what difference can they make. They are just two common people in the society. Other people see their imagination on the silver screen and they try to imitate that. Imitation is common human behavior. Its human nature to imitate whatever they see.The scenes like the villain chasing the heroine and abducting her and raping her or the cold-blooded killings or the hi-tech robberies and destroying the evidence etc are all teaching us how to do a crime and how to escape after that and how to destroy the evidence. Thus a lot of anti-social activities could be learned through this medium.We are not aware of the reality that there are a group of people who are trying to create chaos in society by showing violence, killings, rape, robberies, drug abuse, prostitution etc on silver screen using artists. They are sawing the seeds of crime into the minds of people.At this point a question might arise that whether the artist don’t have his own freedom to express. All artists have freedom of expression. It flows like a lava flow, not even censored by the Censor Board. The truth is that nothing is censored at all, except for a few sex scenes.An artist should be someone with a positive mind and also somebody who wants social justice. An artist should have the thinking that myself along with the society should be liberated from the clutches of the evil, then only good thoughts will blossom.You may ask how evil comes into such a good artist’s work. It’s a good question. All artists may not be good souls. When one had artistic talent, he tried to exhibit it, without caring for good and evil. He may not have thought of the difference it makes in the society. Even if he had thought, then his counter thought will be what good does it make to himself. I know that I can quench my hunger only if I work hard. Will this society give me food at least once a day? Will it construct a house for me to sleep? Will it buy me dress to wear? Nobody will buy me anything. Then why should I think of making the society better? But such thoughts can never make the society better; it will only go more and more into evil paths. If God has given us a talent, then it is for us to make a living out of it. Along with that, we should understand the good and evil in society and write or visualize against evil. Thus through our creation, we should create at least a small ripple. This is an artist’s responsibility towards society. Even if he gets rich through his creation, it doesn’t mean that he should divide his wealth and give back to society. He became rich because of his talent. He knows that he made everything through good deeds only. Each citizen in society can come up in life only through self-talent. Anything achieved through evil is only temporary and never permanent.An artist’s achievement is to exhibit his creation before the society and get an honor for it. But the creations so honored should contain only good. Then more and more good artists and good creations will take birth, and the society will be kind enough to accept them without discarding.Although Cinema was born in France, it started its growth in countries like America, Europe, India and Russia.For the first time in history, a Cinema was made and publicly exhibited by the Lumier Brothers. This was in France. That was the beginning of Cinema. After that the art form of Cinema grew worldwide.Today the world cinema centers at Hollywood in America, The Indian cinema centers at Mumbai and the South Indian Cinema centers at Chennai. Cinema today is big business, but the truth is that good quality movies are not taking birth as expected.The main reason for the sheer fall in quality of today’s cinema is the changing environment. Earlier the idea in one man’s mind will be elaborated by many other people and give rise to a superior creation. Today it has become mechanical. Film production has gone hi-tech with latest technologies. As a result good cinema died and low quality movies are taking birth.As said in Hindu mythology, Devas and Asuras were enemies. They fought with each other. The Asuras got the ‘Amruth’ after churning the ‘Palazhi’. But the Devas fooled Asuras and got Amruth and they became immortal. Along with that one Asura also got Amruth and became immortal. As a result the Devaloga was slowly on destruction. Devas didn’t know that. Just like the Palace secret becoming public talk, nobody knew about this. Even if they knew it was no good. Because along with the Devas, one Asura had also become immortal.Moral of the story is that when we start a good thing, we should not co-operate not even a single person who is against it. Else sooner or later we will repent.In our society also there are Devas and Asuras. It can be divided as people who do good deeds and people who do bad deeds. People who do bad will keep on doing it if the climate is favorable. Such people have the capacity to destroy a society or a civilization or even a country.Quoting Swamy Sree Narayana Guru, we should unite to be strong. Only our union can make us stronger. It will make the society better. But if the people who unite are the people who are doing wrong, then we can guess the result.If a society has to be good, the people have to be good. If the society is good, the country will be good. Many good countries might make this world better.A question might arise that what are the factors for the betterment of society. For a good society people should have pure and innocent minds. Abstention from alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc is very important.But in today’s work it is difficult to find a person who doesn’t have any of the above bad habits. Even if we find them, they are just numbered.Its written on the cigarette pack that “Smoking is injurious to health”, but still people buy and use it. It’s a bad habit. Its written on the alcohol bottle that “Drinking is injurious to health”, still people buy and drink that. Similarly it’s written on Pan masalas that it’s injurious to health, but still people use them.Like doing a crime intentionally, people are trying to hug a disaster. We can say that it is like going to a prostitute who is know to have deadly diseases like AIDS or Gonorrhea.Knowingly or unknowingly we might slip into the wrong path and go far. There is no point in repenting after which there is no return. ‘Time’ is precious for man. Do GOOD things only.

MALAYALAM CINEMA YESTERDAY AND TODAY
In Ancient days,Malayalam cinema was merely story telling.Still,it was much better than the new generation movies.In old cinemas, the producers had to mix some condiments to make good for the investment amount.Cabaret dance is seen in most of the olden movies starring Jayan,Nazir,Vincent,Sudheer,Soman etc.New cinemas don’t have much cabaret dance but still a lot of violence is shown.
Veterans like Adoor Gopalakrishnan,Aravindan,John Abraham,P.A.Baker etc have left their mark in the Malayalam Film industry.People dont rush into theatre to see their movies.Usually,inside theatres, we could see young people who resrmbled some intellectuals with long hair and long beard.Although the film world is dominated by the new generation,to the satisfaction of the intellectuals,once in a while a good quality movies is born,like the occasional downpour in a hot summer.The rest are all packed with sex and violence.Two films worth mentioning here are Sivaji(Tamil)And Alibhai(Malayalam).
From the facial expressions of the people who saw sivaji,it was clear that it was money well
spend.Although it was a big budget movie,it had neither a good storyline nor screenplay nor any immobilize his opponent.All the black money in the state is then converted to American
Dollar and brought back to the state itself and brings the state under his feet through Sivaji Fou
ndation and becomes the uncrowned king.Later he is took in to remand by the CBI and is killed under Police custody.He takes a rebirth .The story ends when he takes revenge of his
opponent.Such a story is not likely to happen in india or anywhere in the world.The producer’s
confidence to get good returns for his investment is reiterated here,no matter how the story is
told.Alibhai also belongs to the same generation with a lot of violence and dialogue delivery.sex,violence,heroic scenes or dialogues resembling verbal diarrhoea will not make a film great.
Today’smovies appear and vanish like the gamblers at the carnival.They may be there to attract people for a week or at the most two weeks.
Each actor has a Fans associaton.These Fans Associatons mostly maintain the cinema.The
association members will see the movie repeated,thereby managing to keep a long que outside the theatres,showing their loyalty towards the hero of the movie.
But the directors don’t have any Fans Associations.It was all in the golden times of John Abraham and Aravindan.Today the situation has changed.Today the Fans Association members spend from their pocket and repeated see the movie of their favorite actor,not caring whether it is a good movie or not.If the present situation continues like this,we may never be able to see a good movie again either in Malayalam or in any language.If the situation in Mala-
yalam film industry is so pathetic,it is better not to mention about other language movies.
Cinema is viewed as a big business where the businessman tries to recover the invested
amount through any means.Greedy persons are trying to catch the film appreciaters in their net
by packing condiments in the movie.The hunger for money is the only thing seen in cinema production today.If this situation changes,then malayalam movie might survive.
