Comparison of flash mob with discourses:
Actually there are not many similarities between these
two. but somehow when I watch divine discourses it reminds me of flash
mob. Hence this blog..........
My daughter told me about the flash mob that is being
practiced in western countries for promoting products . It has become a high
fashion now to do this way of business promotional activities.
What is flash mob:
It is actually a group action performed in a given venue
which is generally crowded. The players will perform an action ( a dance step)
and the public will follow suit suddenly from different corner of the crowd, at
a time, out of the blue, as if a sudden break out of an action, spontaneously.
The sudden unexpected dance movements from the public
will make an attraction to the given crowd. and before you could think of that,
the performers will vanish.
The
whole idea will be like a flash.
Here in a discourse (for example ,in a
recent spiritual bajan byVittal Maharaj, at Chennai ) the general
public would start performing an action voluntarily without practice
followed by one by one in the crowd and at one point of time we can see the
whole auditorium( about more than 600 members) doing different kinds of action
according to the music. When the person on the stage stops the tune
everybody re-positions in their chairs and starts listening his
discourse as if nothing had happened.
Ho! it is amazing to watch. Here there is no
business promotion but a voluntary action towards the Almighty. There is
no artificial smile or tension in the faces of performers, but some kind of
satisfaction and happiness instead. The man on the stage was not conducting or
ordering, but the audience would start dancing voluntarily.
