Amitabh Bachchan reading Ramacharitmanas before the release of his much awaited Kalki 2898 AD

Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "The effect of that early bird shall be exercised and the results reverted upon."

Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, who will be seen playing the role of mighty Ashwathama in the upcoming sci fi movie Kalki 2898 AD, is reading Ramcharitmanas nowadays.

Big B shared this information on his daily blog and wrote: "We are in time after ages .. and the age of the ages is beginning to get a control .. which is recommended and practised all over .. so the effect of that early bird shall be exercised and the results reverted upon ..

some wisdom from the Ramcharitmanas ..

Words to Garud ..

but my weak immature attempt :

without knowing divinity , there is no belief .. without belief there is no love, and without love how can there be devotion .. just like the reflected smoothness of water is never still or stagnant ..

without a guru, there can be no learning ; without reclusion, quietude can there be learning .. the Veda and the Puraan say that without the prayer devotion to Hari , can there be peace and calm ..

can a boat ever move without being in water .. without the earth can there be trees that grow ..

and many more such examples .. to exemplify the presence and the prayers to the Almighty , the absence of which a lot is not possible ..

I pray for eternal peace and calm ..

Who so ever listens to it , may there be fructification ..

Love
