Tiyaan (ടിയാൻ)

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 Sankaran.

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.

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.

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,dean

Go fast.

You better vacate your shop, old man!

Otherwise, 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.

WQ?

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.

I am trying, Guruji.

He did all that to my father, and you all kept watching?

I'll show those pigs who I am! Come, Salim!

Okay, brother. - I'll finish them today.

Don't go. They are not good people.

Salim, stop your brother!

Who hit my father?

Come! I'll tell you.

Kick these dogs!

Hit him!

No police, soldier or minister is going to save you!

Understood?

Understood, you dogs? Get out of here!

Giri Swami,

Salutes, Pandit Ji. - Namaste.

Namaste.

Giri Swami,

I think things are going out of our hands.

Until yesterday, they were requesting us.

But today, their attitude has changed totally.

I thought it will end with some threats.

But..

This is..

See this, sir.

What wrong did we do to him?

We came here to make a living.

Where will we go?

They threatened me as well.

They are asking me to vacate the place.

And that they will give a golden price for it.

Pandit Ji,

don't say no.

Among us,

only you can talk to them.

Okay.

How many of you have the original documents of your land?

Okay.

Whoever has the documents,

I am ready to talk for them.

We have a business here;

a family, but no documents.

What will happen to us?

First let's solve the problem for the people with documents.

Brother, we will talk to them.

If there is no other option,

we can even talk to the Maoists.

Rightly said!

Hey! Chandy, that's not needed!
