UG Gave No Last Scene to Mahesh Bhatt

[sulochanosho]

UG is deadly to its hard core dead end. UG tore apart all hopes,
hypes, holy sermons and scriptures even in his death. Well one can
easily doubt whether UG was Mahesh Bhatt’s mentor or monster. Equally
Mahesh Bhatt also fought like a monster with UG till the end. The
veteran Indian film maker and director Mahesh Bhatt was too obsessed
to get the final message - rather “the final scene” from UG to click
and build on the empire, but UG demolished all the holy hopes and said
simply ‘No Message’. UG made his own death and end so simple and
straight; and no sermons there to preach.

Mahesh Bhatt narrated this the other day with his UG friends and
family at Chandrasekhar Babu’s residence, where UG used to
come once in a year to chat and beat his unholy sermons with his
friends. Ever since UG’s death on 22 March 2007, Mahesh Bhatt has made
it a point to dash at Chandrasekhar’s place every year on that day.
This time Mahesh said, “I have come from Mumbai to
Bangalore to meet my family and friends - Mr Chandrasekhar Babu, Mrs.
Suguna and all UG friends here. Nothing to do with calendar or ritual
like things.” He ate and relished Dosa, a favorite mouth-watering
South Indian dish, thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Chandrasekhar Suguna's
simple straight to heart hospitality.

Of course before eating Dosa, Mahesh Bhatt made a very emotional
narration that he had with UG in his (UG’s) last departing days and
death. Mahesh Bhatt experienced life in UG’s death. During those few
days Mahesh Bhatt derives the most from UG, unlike his other long days
of stint with UG. Nothing holy about it, but a whole lot of rare
simple and plain insights there, that Mahesh Bhatt wants to yell out.
Mahesh told that the whole account of this rare experience is coming
out in the form of his new book, entitled 'The Taste of Life', from
the Penguin Publishers, slated to be released next month, April 2009.
Mahesh Bhatt was very emphatic there to stress the point that UG
demolished all the empire-like holy sermons, scriptures, religions and
religious gurus. UG simply tore apart the holy empire of spirituality
and put it in its natural naked and nude state – no perversion, no
diversion there. Enough of centuries of chaining and choking of holy
spirituality; and this was the ‘devilish act’ that UG did to this
humanity.

On this occasion a Kannada version book of Mahesh Bhatt’s book 'U.G.
Krishnamurti: A Life' was released. Another interesting
aspect on this occasion was that an enterprising publisher Sonali
Desai brought out a new well designed book entitled ‘UG Says’,
containing rare UG sayings and photos. Mahesh Bhatt was too happy to
release the book there. Another close associate and
admirer, Mr Louis shared his expereinces with UG and, told that he is
bringing out his encounter and account of his insights in the
form of a new book soon.

“UG doesn’t want, but UG admirers need it” – the informal gathering of
UG admirers at Chandrasekhar’s residence on 22 March 2009 was an
indication of that. Even his admirers from Italy and other places all
the way flown down to Bangalore simply to ‘see’ that dead(ly) virus
called UG.

UG took a hard view that, 'the so called no-thought state talk is a
biggest lie.'

Mahesh Bhatt reminded that UG used to say, 'we are always interested
in eating memories and we are in miseries. Life doesn't care a bit of
it.'

Mr K Chandrasekhar Babu has sent in a link, where he has put the best
moments of the event in Photos; as all of us know, Chandrasekhar Babu
is a meticulous archiver and best resource person on UG. His first
hand encounter and experience with UG is
amazingly quite vast. Here is the album link:
