00:00Why we Indians are so much crazy about big fat Indian weddings?
00:08Should not surprise you, a wedding is the most celebration of a subjugated consciousness.
00:19Had we been a society that valued something higher than the body,
00:30then the topic and the context of our celebrations would have been very different.
00:38But you would have celebrated finishing a great book
00:43and you would have invited people to come over and dance.
00:45I just completed my first run of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita and now that's really something to celebrate
00:56and not necessarily something religious. It could be something from Marx, from literature side, anywhere.
01:03I am a better human being. Now that's something to celebrate.
01:06That's something of an elevated consciousness. That's something animals cannot do.
01:13What is meant by a celebration? You do not celebrate your meanness.
01:23You do not celebrate your fall.
01:25You do not celebrate being an animal. You celebrate your rise. You celebrate your ascension.
01:31You celebrate when you overcome a hard challenge.
