Topic: Sadgati


  
  tape--276
When the mind/intellect atma form is engaged in deep churning then think it is heading towards sadgati and if the intellect yog of the soul is in the body and bodily beings etc then think it is going towards durgati.
This is the subtle stage of durgati and sadgati.
The stage of deep churning is the sadgati of the mind/intellect of atma’s form.

 Sadgati (1981) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
And other works are just embarrassing failures (e.g., his adaptation of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People.) By coincidence, I saw Sadgati at the same festival and on the same day as Enemy of the People, and thus witnessed within hours the very worst and the very best of Ray.
As for Sadgati, I don't know how to overpraise it.
Made for TV, it is a brutally ironic condemnation of the Indian caste system and, by extension, all inequality and injustice.

 Premchand shortchanged   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Over the last 20 years numerous television producers have taken advantage of this tendency to grant instant approval, respect and sympathy to any project bearing Premchand’s name.
So we have had adaptations of Nirmala, Sadgati, selections of Mansarovar (his collected short stories) and Premchand ki Duniya galore.
Part of the problem of representing Premchand to non-readers is presented by the unsuspected complexity of his style.

 The Telegraph - Calcutta : Bengal
They have known that ever since they were kicked out of a pandal, where they had gone to offer anjali, last year.
In a forced enactment of a macabre sequel to Satyajit Ray’s Sadgati, Left-voting Gangadhari — only 35 km from district headquarters Behrampore — has denied its muchi (cobbler) community the right to be seen anywhere near a pandal during the state’s most important festival.
The 18 families comprising 80-odd heads are, instead, expected to look up at the neon-light-bright sky and listen to the dhak beats from a distance, making the premise — that Left-voting Bengal has no place for untouchability and caste-virus — stand on its head.

Although the name Sadgati creates the urge to understand others, we emphasize that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a moody disposition.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, heart, lungs and bronchial area.
Your name of Sadgati creates an idealistic, sensitive nature and a desire for culture and the refinements of life.

 The Hindu : Opinion / Editorials : A salute to India's greatest film-maker
Perhaps the secret of the abiding appeal of the art of India's greatest film-maker is his rootedness in his own culture.
The great limitation of Ray's films must be that their medium is Bengali (Shatranj ke Khilari and Sadgati being the two exceptions), a language spoken in a relatively small part of the world and unfamiliar to a majority even in India.
This inevitably means there are aspects of Ray's art lost on non-Bengali audiences, a condition that is not helped by the unsatisfactory quality of some of the subtitles.

 Manas: Culture, Indian Cinema- Satyajit Ray
This film made brilliant use of color, animation, and narration; it was also Ray’s maiden attempt at making a non-Bengali feature film.
(His only other film in Hindi was Sadgati, produced for Indian television.) To a small extent, Shatranj Ke Khiladi drew him to the attention of the mainstream Indian film-going audience.
After Shatranj Ke Khiladi, he returned to themes set in his native state of Bengal, though in Ghare Bhaire ("The Home and the World"), inspired by Tagore’s novel of the same name, Ray returned in part to the theme of British colonial rule.

Consequently he has, like Pitt, found himself a screen sex symbol, if a much more unlikely one.

 The Sunday Tribune - Spectrum
In fact, Premchand’s writings have inspired many memorable films, including two unforgettable ones by Satyajit Ray, Shatranj ke Khiladi (1977) and Sadgati (1981).
In spite of criticism that by changing the end of the story in which the two nawabs kill each other for honour’s sake Ray had done injustice to the spirit of the conquered, Shatranj ke Khiladi is considered one of Ray’s most important films.
Ray’s telefilm, Sadgati (1981), with Om Puri and Smita Patil in the lead, was soul-stirring as it raised the question of caste that is as alive in society today as it was when Premchand wrote the film.
