लंदन में छठ पूजा
ब्रिटिश और इंडियन कलाकरों को लेकर बना छठ गीत, 15 नवम्बर को यशी फिल्म्स से रिलीज़ होगा
लोक आस्था का महापर्व छठ की महिमा इस बार सात समुंदर पार ब्रिटेन तक पहुंच गई है। इसलिए इस बार छठी मईया को समर्पित निर्देशक सह यशी फिल्म्स प्राइवेट लिमिटेड के कंटेंट हेड कुमार सौरव सिन्हा का आने वाला नया छठ गीत इस साल का सबसे महंगा गाना होगा, जिसके वीडियो का निर्देशन कुमार सौरव सिन्हा ने ब्रिटिश और भारतीय अभिनेताओं के साथ मिलकर लंदन में शूट किया है।
कुमार सौरव सिन्हा, हॉलीवुड में विभिन्न बड़ी फिल्म परियोजनाओं और अमेरिकी ब्रॉडकास्टिंग कंपनी (एबीसी),डिज्नी जैसी कुछ बड़ी फिल्मों की परियोजनाओं पर काम करने के बाद, अब भोजपुरी फिल्म उद्योग में क्रांति लाने के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार है।
वे पवन सिंह, रितेश पांडे जैसे भोजपुरी सुपरस्टार्स के साथ भी काम कर चुके हैं। कुछ महीने पहले वे भोजपुरी का सबसे महंगा संगीत वीडियो दुबई में शूट किया था और अब छठ पूजा के अवसर पर एक इंटरनेशनल गीत लेकर आ रहे हैं जो यशी फिल्म्स से 15 नवम्बर को लंदन में रिलीज होगी। इसमें संगीत गोविंद ओझा और पंकज तिवारी का है। गीत में अन्वेषा की मधुर आवाज है जो गोलमाल रिटर्न्स, प्रेम रतन धन पायो जैसी बड़ी प्रोजेक्ट के लिए जानी जाती है।
इस वीडियो में ब्रिटिश अभिनेता सैमी जोनास हेनी नज़र आने वाले हैं, जो विभिन्न हाई-एंड बजट फिल्मों जैसे वेलकम टू न्यूयॉर्क, हाई एंड यारियां में काम कर चुके हैं। परिणीति चोपड़ा (2021) अभिनीत उनकी आगामी नेटफ्लिक्स फिल्म ‘द गर्ल ऑन द ट्रेन’ है। वहीं, फीमेल लीड में सोनम नानवानी होंगी, जिन्होंने कई प्रतिष्ठित बॉलीवुड और पंजाबी फिल्मों जैसे अक्षय कुमार अभिनीत फिल्म “गोल्ड”, अर्जुन कपूर और परिणीति चोपड़ा अभिनीत फिल्म “नमस्ते इंग्लैंड” और “खिदो खुंडी” में रणजीत बावा और मैंडी तखर के साथ काम कर चुकी हैं। इस गाने में दिग्गज अभिनेता पद्म सिंह भी होंगे, जो खाकी और लीजेंड ऑफ भगत सिंह में नज़र आ चुके हैं।
इस बार, कुमार सौरव सिन्हा ने अब तक का सबसे महंगा भक्ति संगीत वीडियो का निर्देशन किया है। छठ पर्व बिहार, झारखंड और उत्तर प्रदेश और नेपाल के मधेश क्षेत्र में व्यापक रूप से मनाया जाता है। छठ पूजा सूर्य देव और षष्ठी देवी (छठी मैया) की पूजा है। इस बारे में उन्होंने बताया कि छठ पूजा हमें अपनी जड़ों से जोड़ती है। यह सबसे अधिक पर्यावरण के अनुकूल धार्मिक त्योहारों में से एक है जो प्रकृति संरक्षण्ड का संदेश फैलाता है। छठ पूजा के दिन, सभी भक्त जाति, रंग या सामाजिक स्थिति के किसी भी भेद के बिना, गंगा नदी के तट पर इकट्ठा होते हैं और सूर्य देव को प्रसाद अर्पित करते हैं।
उन्होंने कहा कि “लंदन में छठ पूजा यह दिखाने का प्रयास है कि इंग्लैंड में रहने वाले भारतीय इसे कैसे मनाते हैं। इसमें दिखाया गया है कि कैसे एक ब्रिटिश पति अपनी भारतीय पत्नी की संस्कृति को अपनाता है और छठ पूजा मनाता है। यह वीडियो विभिन्न संस्कृतियों को एकजुट करेगा और दोनों देशों को करीब लाएगा ”। वहीं इसको लेकर यशी फिल्म्स के निर्माता अभय सिन्हा ने कहा, “हम हमेशा ऐसा कंटेंट बनाने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं जो एक सामाजिक संदेश लाए।”

इस पुस्तक में भारत के प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने अपना संदेश लिखा। इसके अलावा तिब्बती धर्मगुरू महामहिम दलाई लामा, चेरी ब्लेयर, सर क्लिफ रिचर्ड, जीपी हिंदुजा, श्री एम, किरण मजूमदार शॉ, अरशद वारसी, डॉ. करण सिंह, सर मार्क टली, शर्मिला टैगोर, राकेश ओमप्रकाश मेहरा, संदीप भूतोरिया, लॉर्ड पारेख, केपी सिंह और अन्य प्रतिष्ठित इन हस्तियों के साथ-साथ आम नागरिकों ने अपनी माताओं को समर्पित पत्र लिखकर इस पुस्तक मां के योगदान को व्यक्त किया है, इसके साथ इस पुस्तक के लिए विशेष रूप से मोहिनी केंट की व्यक्तिगत सराहना की है।

मां बच्चों की पहली गुरु और मार्गदर्शक होती है। महात्मा गांधी, आइंस्टीन, अब्राहम लिंकन, बुद्ध और अन्य पर अपनी माताओं का कर्ज है। यहां तक कि एचआरएच प्रिंस चार्ल्स ने भी महारानी को उनके मैस्टीज डायमंड जयंती समारोह में उन्होंने ‘मम्मी’कहकर संबोधित किया। इनके बीचइस पुस्तक में मौजूद कुछ बेटियों के पत्र में माताओं द्वारा उन्हें धोखा देने का दर्द छिपा है। कुछ माताओंने अपनी बेटियों को दास के रूप में बेच दिया, इस पुस्तक में उन लड़कियों द्वारा भेजे गये पत्र में दिल टूटने, मन में हुए गहरे जख्म, हानि और विश्वासघात का दर्द बेटियों ने बयां किया है।
मोहिनी केंट ने अपनी चैरिटी संस्था, लिली अगेंस्ट ह्यूमन ट्रैफिकिंग की सहायता के लिए यह पुस्तक लिखी है। यह पुस्तक फ्लिपकार्ट और अमेज़न इंडिया पर ऑनलाइन उपलब्ध है और इससे होनेवाली आमदनी का पूरा हिस्सा मानव तस्करी के खिलाफ काम कर रही इस संस्था को दिया जायेगा।

एचएच दलाई लामा: “मेरी मां मेरी करुणा की पहली शिक्षिका थीं। अपनी माताओं से स्नेह प्राप्त करनेवाले बच्चे ही अपने वयस्क जीवन में बहुत अधिक आंतरिक शांति रखते हैं।”
चेरी ब्लेयर: “वकालत के बाद जब मुझे 1976 में बार संगठन में बुलाया गया, तो आप मेरी उपलब्धि का हिस्सा बनने वाले एकमात्र माता-पिता थे। मैं चाहतीथी कि मेरी इस उपलब्धि को आप स्वीकार करें।”
सर क्लिफ रिचर्ड: “मृत्यु कभी उचित नहीं होती। आपने हमें जीवन दिया, मुझे, डोना, जैकी और फिर जोन को आपके लिए जिंदगी नसीब हुई, लेकिन मौत ने आपको हमसे दूर कर दिया हालांकि वह हमारे मन में कैद आपकी यादों को हमसे नहीं छीन सका।”
जीपी हिंदुजा: “यह कहा जाता है कि भगवान ने माताओं को बनाया क्योंकि वह हर जगह नहीं हो सकते थे।”
शर्मिला टैगोर: “मौत तुम्हें हमसे दूर ले गई। इसके पहले मैं आपको कभी नहीं बता सकी कि मैंने चुटकुलों के जरिये आपकी पाक कला और आपकी प्रतिभा की कितनी सराहना की।”
योगी श्री एम: “मैं मेरी माँ से क्षमा मांगता हूं जब उसका प्यारा बेटा हिमालय भाग गया। जब वर्षों बाद जब मैं एक योगी बनकर वापस आया, तो मेरी मां ने मेरा स्वागत किया। केवल एक मां ही ऐसा कर सकती है।
‘प्रिय मां’ पुस्तक की बिक्री से होनेवाली आमदनी बालिकाओं की मदद के लिए खर्च की जाएगी।”
13th November, 2020, Kolkata / London: The Prabha Khaitan Foundation, Kolkata, today announced the online launch of “Dear Mama” – a collection of intimate letters to their mothers – written by billionaires, spiritual gurus, members of the British House of Lords, political leaders, members of royal families, actors, entrepreneurs, journalists, photographers and doctors.
The book was formally launched by Cherie Blair, British barrister, writer and women’s rights activist, also the wife of former UK prime minister Tony Blair, at the Kitab online event presented by Shree Cement and joined in by hundreds of invitees from across the globe. Cherie Blair was in conversation with Mohini Kent, author and founder-chairperson of LILY Against Human Trafficking – a charitable organisation which works against the trade in human beings and child trafficking. The event was conducted by Swati Agarwal on behalf of Prabha Khaitan Foundation.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, His Highness The Dalai Lama, Cherie Blair, Sir Cliff Richard, G P Hinduja, Sri M, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Arshad Warsi, Dr Karan Singh, Sir Mark Tully, Sharmila Tagore, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, Sundeep Bhutoria, Lord Parekh, K P Singh, and other eminent personalities, as well as common citizens, have written very personal letters to their mothers especially for Mohini Kent’s book.
“It is a great honour for Prabha Khaitan Foundation to host the unveiling of `Dear Mama’ which is a stupendous collection of letters to one’s mothers and which evokes deep feelings of love, emotion, compassion and inspiration. The formal launch was slated for March 2020 at an event in London but had to be postponed due to the Covid pandemic. It was a very touching experience for me to write a letter to my late mother for the book,” said Sundeep Bhutoria, Trustee, Prabha Khaitan Foundation.
Mother is the first guru and guide of the children. Mahatma Gandhi, Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, the Buddha and others owed a debt to their mothers. Even HRH Prince Charles publicly addressed the Queen as ‘Mummy’ at Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. But some mothers betrayed their daughters, who were sold as slaves. The letters of those girls in this book speak of heartbreak, trauma, loss and betrayal.
“As long as prejudices are there against women, be it anywhere, no women will be totally free,” said Cheri Blair at the webinar.
Mohini Kent has written the book in aid of her charity, Lily Against Human Trafficking. The books is available online on Flipkart and Amazon India and all the proceeds would go to LILY Against Human Trafficking. “I want to teach mothers to love their daughters. The mindset of women as much as of men has to change because women fall into this mindset no matter where we are and how well educated and outgoing one is,” said Mohini Kent.
Kitab is an initiative of Kolkata-based organization Prabha Khaitan Foundation which provides a forum for book launches by connecting intellectuals, book lovers and litterateurs with authors. Eminent authors like Shashi Tharoor, Vikram Sampath, Salman Khurshid, Kunal Basu, Vir Sanghvi, Vikas Jha, Luke Kutinho and others have earlier had book launching sessions at Kitab.
Cherie Blair, human rights lawyer, is the Chancellor of the Asian University for Women; Governor of the London School of Economics; a founding member of Omnia Strategy LLP; and the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women supports women entrepreneurs in developing countries. She lives in London with her husband, Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the UK.
Lady Mohini Kent Noon is an author, film-maker, charity worker and journalist. She is the Founder Chairperson of Lily Against Human Trafficking. And Global Envoy in the UK of the International Buddhist Confederation. She is the author of several books, including Black Taj, a novel, and Nagarjuna: The Second Buddha. She has written and directed feature films, documentaries, and worked with Sir Ben Kingsley. Her stage plays include Rumi: Unveil the Sun. She also hosts spiritual teaching tours in the UK.
Excerpts from the book “Dear Mama”
Prime Minister Narendra Modi: “Mother is the ever-flourishing spring of inspiration and our strength to overcome all the challenges.”
HH the Dalai Lama: “My mother was my first teacher of compassion. Those who receive affection from their mothers as children have much greater inner peace in their adult lives.”
Cherie Blair: “When I was called to the Bar in 1976, you were the only parent entitled to be part of my achievement. I wanted you to be acknowledged.:
Sir Cliff Richard: “Death is never fair. You gave us life – me, Donna, Jacqui and then Joan – and death took yours. But… he couldn’t take our memories.”
G.P. Hinduja: “It is said that God created mothers because He could not be everywhere.”
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw: “Not many daughters can boast of the fact that their mother is a successful entrepreneur at the age of 87. This fiery independent streak is what I have inherited from you. You have been a pillar of great strength and inspiration to me.”
Sharmila Tagore: “I have taken you for granted. I never told you how much I appreciated your cooking (and) your talent with jokes.”
Yogi Sri M: “I beg forgiveness (from my mother) when her beloved son ran away to the Himalayas and was given up for dead. (She) welcomed me after years when I came back as a wandering yogi. Only a mother can do that.”
Rakesh Omprakash Mehra: “Like an ocean she had the capacity to receive the rivers of pain, purify it, and rain it back on us as love. They say you passed away, but in my daughter I feel you come back, in my wife I feel your loving and caring. For me, LILY is an ode to every mother.”
Arshad Warsi: “The first thing I need to do, in fact every son and daughter needs to do, is apologise for not being able to match up to the unconditional love mothers have for their children.”
Shonali Bose: “All of my films – Amu, Margarita with a Straw, The Sky is Pink -have been about the mother-daughter relationship and death. That’s because you were so central to my life till your shocking death when I was 21.”
Milkha Singh: “Our home was in Multan. Then we heard India was going to be partitioned. A Muslim mob came for us with their guns. Father shouted: ‘Bhaag Milkha! Don’t look back!’ When it was quiet, I went back, but they had killed you, everyone. My last memory of you is lying on your body and weeping.”
Khalid Mohamed: “You lost your only child Zubeida in an air crash. We only found mangled parts of her body on the site. When my mother Zubeida perished, you were my protector and live-giver. Fayazi Ma, it’s your 25th death anniversary, and I assure you I am OK.”
Dr Karan Singh: “She was highly compassionate and caring, and I learnt a great deal from her. I learnt the beautiful Dogra-Pahari folk songs that she used to sing on festive occasions. In our culture the mother has a very special place. There are our physical mothers, but at a deeper level in Hinduism, the mother goddess appears in many forms.”
Raghu Rai: “When the partition took place, I was just five. Little did I understand what it meant for my mother to look after ten children without any help. My mother wove a magic thread to keep a large family happy and united at low cost.”
Vijay Khattar: “Though you were deaf and mute since birth, you remain the most expressive person I’ve known. I wondered what it must be like. I feared the weight of silence. When the political trouble started in Kashmir were forced to leave because of the killings. You made this difficult and uncertain time easier for the family.”
