Scene-1:
(Home)
(Siren, ambulance, fire brigade, accident scene)
Dinanath is in spot light, at the accident site, looking panicked and tensed. Pannel of three sitting in
front of him.
P1: Mr. Dinanath, this is a show cause notice, tell us why we should not suspend you ?
P2: Sorry, ye aapka aakhree rasta tha, you neglected life manual Mr. Dinanath.
DC: (almost crying, kneels down on stage) s…sir…mere biwi bache hain…sir pls sir ek mauka aur
P3: (signs on a document, P3 puts on a stamp) Sorry, Mr. Dinanath Chauhan, you are suspended….
DC: he bhagwaan ye mere sath hi aisa kyun…kya bigada tha maine kiska … kyun bhagwaan kyun ?
(thunder music/akhree rasta poster on screen)
(Dinanath is frozen)
Scene-2:
(Home)
(Light Comedy music)
Narration:
Hare Krishna !! Youth Ashraya is Naba Barsh ke aagman ke shubh avsar par aapke liye
lekar aaya hai, ek aur tadkila, bhadkila, dadhakti aur babhakti natika….”Aakhri Rashta!!”
Ji haan bilkul sahi suna hai aapne….”Aakhri Rashta!!”....
Aaj ki is bhag daud ki zindagi mein time milpana utna hi durlabh hai jitna is Delhi k sahar
mein saaf hawa !!
Aur is instant maggie life mein agar koi dusre k liye waqt niakl diya tab to wo koi Devta hi
hoga 🙂
(curtain opens, DC is shown to do yoga / push ups)
Kher, bina aur waqt jaya kiye aaj ham chalte hain South Delhi, Saket, Chauhan parivar
mein. Ye hain Mr. Dinanath Chauhan.(turns his head to the audience at this point). Aise to
Sriman Dinanath Chauhan service mein DMRC worker safety division ke supervisor hain,
par anushasan mein sayad China ki army bhi inse piche rah jay.
Land Lord:
Re....yo chora ...ke kar raha se... Mhari deewar pe.....
Iske bapu ki hai k??.........
Bawda....na to......
Savitri:
Ji…ji Taau…mein rokti hun use abhi k abhi…
pata nahin aaj subhe kiska chehra dekh liya…
(thinks for while) haan…haan …
kale jamun ke ped ke bagal mein kale kutte ko sote hua dekh liya tha….tabhi to…!!
Chintu…Chintu…band kar apna wall painting ki practice store room pe….Taau ko pata chal gaya !!
Aafat ki Pudia…Chal ja yahan se…
(Ye hain inki dharam patni Sri Savitri Chauhan. Ghar k saath saath beauty parlour bhi
chalati hai. Vastu sashtra, jadu tona aur andhviswas mein inko utni hi astha aur sradha
hai jitna Arjun ko Bhagwaan Shree Krishna ke rath chalane par !!)
Chintu: Aafat ki pudia !! Kalakar ki to koi kadar hi nahin is ghar pe.. Ek din is budhe aur iska ghar ko
Rajnikanth wali phoonk se uda dunga…(to Lila, snatching her biscuit angrily) Ae.. moti kitna khaegi ?
Aghasur kahini ?
(Yeh hai ghar ke nawab Chintu Master. Tisri kaksha mein hai, aur inki teesri aankh
hamesha khuli rehti hai. Padhai ka pata nahin par Bollywood aur cricket k current affairs
mein ek UPSC candidate bhi piche rah jaye.)
Lila: (to Chintu) Hmm waise v ye high cholestrol ka tha…le khale sab kahle…( making a reel )
(may be we can keep a short dance to introduce her)
(At last but not the least, ye hain papa ki pari, papa ki chahiti, Lila Chauhan, sorry Miss
Lila Chauhaan, very talented and fashionable. Apni mummy ki parlour mein most frequently
visiting client 🙂. Is nanhi pari ko bas ek hi grahan laga hai aur wo hai iska stage fear…!!)
Dinanath Chauhan ek adarsh parivarik vyakti tha…Usko jindegi mein bas 2 cheeson se pyaar
tha…ek hai uske bachche aur dusra discipline….par ye dono kabhi ek naa ho paaye !! ).
(Dance and music : Dangal song, Baapu sehat k liye Hanikarak hai !!)
DC : Aap sabko manual samajh mein aa gaya na ? ye bahat jaruri instruction hai, ise nazar andaaz
karne ki galati aapki aakhri galati ho sakti hai.
W1 and W2: ji sir, sab samajh mein aa gaya, kuch yaad nahin aayega to ye to hai hi !!
DC: Thik hai dekhta hu mein….ji sir, khatre ki koi baat nahin, sab samjha diya hai unhe…manual ki
hard copy bhi de di sabko
(in the mean time, screaming noise, Dinanath is standing perplexed in anxiety on stage looking here
and there)
Narration:
(tense music)
(Someone screaming) Aare…aare….roko roko machine ko roko…Birju ka hath phas
gaya…..Bechara Birju, kitna tadap raha hai, ab kya hoga, kitna sara khoon bah gaya, jaldi
se ambulance ko bulao,
Kahan hai safety supervisor…? Kon hai safety manager ? Kahan hai Dinanath Chauhan ?
Kya hamari jaan ke koi kimat nahin ?
Ham hadtaal kaenge…(everyone) haan haan ham hadtaal karenge…
Jab tak hamein nyay, muaavaza nahin milti aur Dinanath ko suspend nahin kiya jata, ham
kaam nahin karenge.(everyone) haan haan ham nahin karenge…
Lord Krishna:
Agar jeevan mein sab kuch thik chalne lage to koi baikunth kyun aayega ? aap me se kitne abhi k
abhi mere sath Golok par chalna chahenge ? Jara dekh te hain kya bolti hai public !!
Anand … aur wo bhi is bhautik jagat mein……naain…is jhanse mein kahin aake yahi pe settle hone
ka irade rakh liye to asli anand ke swad se to banchit rah jaoge !!
Isi liye, kuch twist to banta hi hai…wo kuch kehte hain na agar sidhi ungli se ghee na nikle to ungli
tedhi karni padti hai !!
Narration:
Ab Dinanath ko 6 mahine ho gaye suspension mein ghar par baithe,
upar se ek jaanch committee bithai jati hai investigation k liye,
jis job k liye usne din raat ek kar di thi…ab wo uske haath se phisalte jaa rahi hai
Aur upar se ye mehangayi, bachon ke demands, bhangda karta Land Lord aur to aaj ye din
bhi dekhna tha !!
Scene-4
(Home, at dining table)
DC is doing his shoe polish, Chintu also gives his shoes to him.
Chintu: Waise papa, aap to free ho, mera bhi kardo pls..
DC: Yehi din dekhne rah gaya tha … padosh ke bachon ka bhi le ata beta..
DC: Ji Taau
Savitri: (talking to herself) Ghar ka sara kaam karo, khana banao, bacho ke homework solve karo,
parlour mein customer ka jik jik….nahin hota mujh se ye sab,
(talking to DC) kaha tha us din…. meri baayin aakh phadak rahi hai, thoda dahi chini kha ke office
jaao, magar nahin, mera kon sunta hai yahan…thode bahat padh likh kar sarkari job kya laga di, meri
baat ki koi value hi nahin, ab bhugto..
DC: Savitri, wo koi mamuli exam nahin tha, din raat ek kar li thi maine….tab jake supervisor bana
tha….15 saal hogaye…aaj tak aisa kabhi nahin hua tha….un workers ko safety instruction samjhaya
tha, manual bhi diya tha…..par wo to saandh jaise bhid gaye machinary ka saath…meri kya galti thi
ismein…hmm..tum aur tumhare ye andh viswas…
Savitri: Haan haan….ab to meri saari baat chubhegi tumhe, haay shaadi ke mandap par hi maine
kale billi ko lal rang ke kursi par dekh liya tha…pata tha ye aadmi mere layaak nahin hai
Chintu: Haan Papa, aap bhi karlo, mujhe nayi mummy chahiye
Savitri: (twitches his ear), kya bola..jara phir se bol…jaisa baap waisa beta, dono naalayak
(tense background music)
(pin drop silence, DC is hurt, stops eating and leaves home, Savitri keeps calling him, starts weeping
on the dining table)
(Lord Krishna entry, Shuklam Varadaram Vishnu song)
Arjun ki baat hi kuch aur thi, turant hi smajh gaya, ye life maual.?
Dekha manual na padhne ka nateeja ?
Yehi hai ek matra rasta, ek matra vikalp….aap sab k liye aakhri rashta !!
Mere ek priya senapati bhakt Prabhupad ke athak prayas se aaj wo sandesh har jagah har bhasha
mein uplabdh hai….
Par….amazon web service, reels, netflix se phursat mile tab na……
Kher mere bhakt to prayas karte rahenge….ab dekhna hai aap kitne samajhdar ho ?
Scene-5
(Market)
(market noise music)
One person eating momos, DC sitting nearby depressed….devotee approached…if he would like to
take
P1: Pandit ji aap to matthe hi chadh gaye, khane v nahin dete aap log, nahin chahiye bola na..jaaiye
yahan se..
Devotee : Aaare ye Gita life ka manual hai, ek khushaal jindegi kaise bitani hai, bina ise padhe aap
nahin jan sakte. Manual to jaruri hota hai, DMRC mein accident hua tha, yaad hai na ?
(shocking background music, short 2 second duration)
P1: wo kya hai na….ham is mahan manual k layak nahin hai….jaaiye koi dusre ko dijiye….hmm !!
Devotee: ji haan, koi v page khol ke padhiye, lagega mano kebal aap k liye hi likha gaya ho..
Devotee: 230 rupees, kya palta palta ke dekh rahe hain, ye BBT ke pustak hai, Los Angeles mein
print hoke aate hain, price printed nahi rehta is pe, bharosa kijiye ham pe
DC: PhonePe ?
Devotee : ji, aapka number bhi dijiye, aur ye thoda sa prasad mandir ki aur se
DC: Dhanyawaad
P1: chalo thoda daan punya ham bhi kar lete hain, ye lijiye 51 rupaye…..
P1: Nahin…padhne ko mat boliye….bas….gyan hamare rago rago mein bah raha hai,,,, 🙂
Narration:
Dinanath ab bo pustak lekar aaya parantu bina kisi ko dikhaye ek trunk mein rakh diya.
Wo bhakt ne ek do baar call karke madir bhi amantrit kiye par Dinanath apne jaanch
committee ke karyon mein byast rah gaya, aur wo pustak aisi hi mahino tak pada
raha..(stage set up delay expected)
Scene-6
(Home)
Lila: Maa, Maa, wo mere do designer jhumke kidhar gaye ? Aaj program hai school mein…dance
practice to karli par pata nahin, dar sa lag raha hai, sab log jab mujhe dekh rahe honge tab stage pe
kaise karun? All is well..ALL IS WELL !! (looking at trunk) Is mein dekhti hun..
(opens the trunk, and finds Gita)
(happy music, discovered something amazing)
Aare ye brand new book, wo bhi Gita…pata nahin kab se padi hai yahan pe ?
Khol ke dekhti huni…
Wow..kya colourful pics hai, (smells) hmmm…new book ki smell..
Aaj tak kabhi khol k nahin dekhi, let's explore it..
(flips some pages and finds 4.10)
(In the meantime, Lila is continuing to read the book, not being affected by the scoldings, blissful
expression on the face and finds something interesting now)
Lila: Maa, tum to aise hi tension le rahi ho, ye dekho kya likha hai ismein…
(Reads Gita mahatmya-1,-2, 18.66)
Savitri: Ye sab to thik hai, par agar ye sari baat galat hui to ? Kon iska guarantee lega ?
Lila : Aaare maa, maa, maa khud param bhagwaan guarantee de rahe hain, sani dev ji ghussa kyun
honge..? Ye gyan guru sishya parampara se aa rahi hai…dekho…yahan
(shows the guru sishya parampara page, savitri reads for a while)
Savitri: Aare wah…kabhi socha nahin tha…ki bhagwaan kuch aisa bolenge…(thinks for a
while)….waise galti meri hi hai, kabhi aaj tak padha hi nahin, mein v kitni darpok thi….jiti rahe meri
beti….I am proud of you…
DC: kya baat hai, aaj maa beti mein bada pyar umad raha hai ?
Lila : Papa, it is such an amazing book, aapne liya tha ye ? kab liya tha ?
DC: Haan woh…ISKCON ke Pandit jo sab hote hai naa…wohi…unhone to apna contact v share kiya
tha….mujhe to aaj bhi unke follow up msg aate hain( shows mobile)
Lila: Papa, jara sochiye, agar ye book itni mast hai, to jo isko padh kar distribute kar rahe hai, wo
kitne mast honge…
Savitri: Aur agar ise ham dusron ko share karenge tab to kya kehna
Narration:
(Motivational / inspirational background music)
Dinanath ne us din ek kya pustak li, ghar mein to kranti aa gayi, Lila abhi pehle se jyada
confident thi, Savitri ko to jaisa Gita padhne mein nasha sa ho gaya, Chintu Bollywood chod
ke ab Mahabharat mein interest lene laga :-) khud Dinanath ko ye sudden change
achambha mein dal diya…..usne wo bhakt to call kiya aur unse mandir mein mila … phir kya
aur hona tha? Aage ka process to aapko pata hi hai…
Bhakti Vriksh, Sunday Class, Prasadam, Mangal Aarti, mala jap bhi ab Chauhan parivaar ka
hissa ban gaya. December ka mahina aaya, marathon ka josh sab mein bhar gaya, Dinanath
aur uski beti Lila aaj karne ja rahe hain unka pehla Granth Vitran….ab dekhna ye hai ki
unki ye romanch kari yatra kaise suru hoti hai ….
Scene-7
(Market)
DC: Lila, sarmane ka nahin rukne ka nahin, darar dalna hai, strike rate is 100%, ham koi galat kaam
nahin kar rahe hain, confidence…confidence…unke aakhon mein dekh kar bolo aur kaho…..
(someone comes)
DC: (Stammers)...Hare Krishna, 250$, Gita jayanti, ISKCON gita, Bhagvat Delhi….
Lila: matlab, ki Gita Jyanti k subh awsar pe ham aap k liye liye laen hain Sampurna Bhaktivedanta
Gita, Kya aap ekbaar dekhna chahenge ?
(P1, person ignores, P2 with headphone does not even look at them)
Both wait for some time, then they see SBI credit card sellers in proper formals speaking with MBA
tone !!
Salesman :
Ladies and gentlemen, one stop solution to all purchase expenditure anxiety, kabhi v kahin v or jitna
chaho utna bhi !!
(both father and daughter got mesmerised to see them speak)
Lila: Papa chalo…ye to acha hua ki hamein sahi direction to pata chala book distribution k liye !!
DC: Haan 20, dekha tumne dekha, agar aaj ham yahan nahin hote ye aise hi bina Gita liye airport
chala jata….
Chintu at the table : (to someone who did not take) Aee mudha, narak mein talega tu, mand sumanda
mattayo…
DC: are nahin.. Nahin… aise nahin, hamein ek positive note k sath discussion end karna hia, ok beta?
Chintu: ji Papa
Land Lord: Ae Dinanath, pure duniya ko baant raha hai, mujhe hi nahin diya ab tak, la de ?
Chintu: 230$
Chintu: 230$
Lila : Aap bina paper aur cover k v leke ja sakte hain, free padega ( both kids laugh )
Lila : Lijiye coming back book as Christmas gift/new year gift….lijiye lijiye
Lila: ji haan, har ek jivatama jo karma bandhan mein hai, usko mrityu k baad dubara aana hi padta
hai is duniya mein
P3: (thinks for a while) ohh…mein abhi aap se ye book le leta hun, agle janam mein iska payment kar
dun chalega kya ?
Lila: (Thinks for a while) thik hai….par iska kya guarantee hai ki aap manushya ke rup mein hi vapas
aaoge??
DC: Abhiv ye 7 bach gaye…aur der ho gayi bahat, pata nahin 20 ka target kaise pura karenge
Book Store : Actually mera book shop hai, yahan pass mein, aapki Gita badi demand mein rehti hai,
isiliye mein chahta hun ki aapki saari copy mein kharid kar mere store par rakhun
Lila : Papa dekhiye, aapke DMRC ke friend isi taraf hi aa rahe hain
DMRC Friend: Aare DC, ye kya naya business ? Was yehi karega abhi tu ? Bacho thoda samjhao
apne daddy ko…ISKCON wale tera fayda utha rahe hain, kyun kar raha hai unki service…wo bhi free
mein…
Lila: Shh…dhire bol…by the way Maya Rita nahin Maya Apahrita gyan (smiles)
DC : Ye tujhe ordinary books lag raha hai ? Aare Srila Prabhupad ji ne raat raat bhar jaag kar in
pustokon mein Bhativedata purports likhe hain jise padh kara aaj pura biswa badal reaha hai…ye to
mera soubhagya hai ki, mujhe kuch seva karne ka opportunity mila.
Chodo kis ke samne bol raha hun…well agar sudharna chahta hai to lele , ye ek aakhri copy bachi hai
mere pass.
H1: haae, kitni sundar bachi hai, bhagwaan tera bhala kare (starts blessing), aur ye khajoor (to
Chintu) tera bhai hai kya re ?
Lila: 230$
H2: Pushpa tu tension mat le…ye…chikne k paise kab kaam mein aayega,
(Goes to DMRC friend)
ae nikal re batwa (takes money, and purchases Gita)
DMRC: Time nahin hai mere pass padhne k liye, kya karu ghar mein rakh ke..?
Chintu: Auntie
H1 and H2: Haeen ??
Chintu: Uncle
H1 and H2: Haeen??
Chintu: Chodo jo bhi ho app….
H1 and H2: Haan ab thik hai
Chiuntu: ye gita nahin time bomb hai, kab koi kaise ise padh lega koi nahi janta, ho sakta aap lekar
nahin padho, par kab koi dusra padh lega, kya pata?
Lord Krishna:
Ab koi itna prayas agar mere vani ke prachar k liye karega, to kya mein usko aise hi khali haath jaane
dunga ? To phir mere bhakt vatsal hone ka kya matlab ? Now everything will be back to normal..sab
kuch ab hoga pehle jaisa…par Bhakti ke sath..:-) Kyun ? Kaisa laga mera twist ?
Scene-8
(House)
(Phone ringing background music)
DMRC: Mein hun Praveen Parekh, senior executive, Barakhamba road, DMRC
DMRC: Jaanch committe k report ke anusar, aap innocent hai, isliye aap next month se office join kar
sakte hain
(happy bg music)
DC: Kya….
DMRC: Hello..
DMRC: Yaad nahin, pichle hafte hi to maine aap se ek Gita liya tha, tab jan bujhkar maine apni
identity chupai thi aap se…I read it…its a good book…good work, hamein aap jaise nagrik aur
chahiye samaj mein…keep up the good work.
DC: Thank you so much sir( almost on the verge of crying), aare Lila, Chintu, Savitri….mere khilaaf
saara case withdraw ho gaya, ab ek saal ke baad mein dubara office ja sakta hun..
Savitri: (also about to cry) sach….he giridhari, he Shaam Sundar, lakh lakh sukar hai tera…
Pata tha mujhe, kuch good news milne wala hai….par itna good ye nahin pata tha..
ALL: Haribol !!
Lord Krishna entry
(Shuklam Varadaram Vishnu)
Lord Krishna:
Wo bolte hain na, Every material problem has a spiritual solution, waise hi jahan is duniyaan mein aap
ke liye sare darwaje band ho chuke hon, tab adhyatmic jagat k liye (showing Gita) ye rasta khul jata
hai. Jahan chah hai wahan raah hai…Jarurat hai to aap sab ki thodi si sradhdha !!
