Tiyaan

---

1

In 9th century A.D.,

for the Advaita Vedanta that says

'God and you are one',

a Guru of Gurus descended on

the land of the mountains.

Adi Sankara.

Many kings of the land became

ready to protect Sankaran,

who set out to conquer

all the 8 directions.

With their escort,

the Jagadguru (Guru of the world), who

travelled to the northern plains;

made many religious scholars

and God-men surrender

to his sharp intellect

and wisdom.

To establish and propagate

the 'Advaita' doctrine,

Sankaran instituted

several monasteries,

houses of worship and

teaching installations.

Through many eras, thousands

walked from Sankaran's home-land;

to these houses of

knowledge.

Some of them went back.

Some of them spent their

entire lives in those places.

A few of them,

very few of them;

stayed back at those places

for generations.

'O Mother'

Tiyaan

(The Above-Mentioned)

'I don't find any interest

in this world'

'I don't find any interest

in this world'

'The lord has a city'

'The lord has a city

of absolute beauty'

'However, nobody goes

or comes from there'

'However, nobody goes

or comes from there'

Namaste, Bhabhiji.

- Namaste.

Namaste- Bhabhiji.

- Namaste.

Hey kiddo,

Give this over there.

Namaste, sister.

- Namaste.

Here you go.

I'll pay you later.

- It's okay, sister. I'll take it later.

Oh!

The shop is still open?

How many times

should we tell you?

Don't you understand?

You people don't understand

when we say properly!

How many times have I told you

that Lord Mahashay's Ashram

is going to be built here?

How can we leave this

place just like that?

Jayanthan uncle, a packet

of frankincense, please.

- My entire family is here.

- We've been asking you

to vacate for so long!

This is a daily routine, right?

Frankincense!

Give it quickly.

Her child is not well.

Let them go home quickly.

Come!

- Go, dear.

How many packets?

- Three.

You had class today as well?

Oh! You've kept a new board?

But, shouldn't it be

N-A-I-R on the board?

Why is it like this then?

Who knows when they would

come to trouble us,

claiming that they are

the sons of this soil?

This is a great upper caste in Punjab

- Nayyar.

They would think that we

belong to that caste.

- Shut up, you old man! Mahashay

Ashram (Monastery) will come here.

- Listen to me loud & clear!

- You will get money for

vacating your shop.

I'm saying this for your own good.

Leave this place!

We won't leave this place.

Why should we go?

. Hey Bhaiyya (brother)!

Raja, tell them.

(in Malayalam)

Half the population of

this place are our people.

Tell them!

- Hey Malabari!

What language is

he blabbering in?

What's wrong with him?

He thinks he is Amitabh Bachchan because

he has black hair & white beard.

What are you blabbering?

Will you leave

this place or not?

No.

We won't leave.

Do whatever you want!

Leave, dear.

Go fast.

You better vacate

your shop, old man!

Othewvise, we know how to

force you to vacate it.

Understood?

All of you have to

vacate this place.

I think they will

see the end of us!

Such a bad cough you have.

You won't listen to me when I

tell you not to run & play.

Namaste, Bhabhiji.

- Namaste.

So much dust!

Namaste, sister.

- Namaste, Bhabhiji.

Namaste.

Frankincense.

- Did you buy it?

- Did you buy frankincense?

Yes.

Has your Guruji left?

O Mother!

Come.

Not like this.

This is how you do it.

Do you need help?

No!

He is a great man,

a Sanskrit scholar;

born in the race of Giris,

he has a huge house with an arsenal and

a huge cellar, on the banks of Ganga.

I got ready for marriage

hearing all this.

And after coming here?

You need to consider that

my parents are not alive!

The only relative I

have is a deaf uncle.

If that poor man wants

to see his dear niece;

a railway station where only steam

engines arrive, is a 150 kms away.

If you go to that corner,

and listen closely like this,

if I am lucky and if there's enough wind;

I can hear uncle's voice.

And back there, he would hear

only the sound of the wind.

How many times will you

repeat the same thing, Amba?

See! There's soot all over her.

I heard that it has been years since

they repaired that factory's pipe.

Didn't I tell you many times?

You needn't have sent her there at

least for these vacation classes.

Very nice!

Only because I sent her

for vacation classes,

our child is at least

able to recognize A & B.

If you keep teaching her Sanskrit,

protecting her from soot, smoke & cough;

you dear daughter would sit

here without developing any IQ.

More than IQ, a person needs..

WQ.

Wm?

What the hell is that?

The power of wisdom.

The pride of wisdom.

That is the only thing that this

country gifted to this world.

Just as smoke covers fire,

Just as dirt covers a mirror,

Just as a womb covers a foetus,

...so do desire and ignorance cover wisdom.

Say it.

Just as smoke covers fire..

That's not how it is

pronounced, Ellen.

Gita is full of teachings.

For that, this is fine.

But you have come here to learn

the root mantras, Ellen.

This is not enough for that.

The intonation of Sanskrit,

Intonation,

should be correct.

All Sanksrit Mantras,

All Sanskrit Slokas,

it is all about the

sound and vibration.

The true meaning of that,

is supposed to be contained

in one's mind alone.

That's why I asked you

talk in Malayalam, Ellen.

It is derived from Sanskrit.
