India / Hinduism in German 1969 monumental film

[Sirona]

Christmas is the time for re-runs of The Tiger of Eschnapur (1959) and its sequel The Indian Tomb (1959). It's essentially a love triangle between a maharaja, a German architect and a female temple dancer named Sita, who is half Indian/half European (there are many Indians with green or blue eyes in this movie). The most remarkable trait is that in contrast to the "rational" German architect, Sita firmly believes in her "Goddess", who looks a bit like Parvati and has remarkably large breasts. In one scene in The Indian Tomb, Sita offers fruit to a statue of Nataraja. The German architect then suggests they should eat the fruit, given the fact that they have nothing else to eat as she and the architect are on the run from the maharaja. Sita is indignant at this suggestion, as "Shiva would be furious" if they ate the fruit offered to him.

The German government has collaborated with Indian spiritual movements like the Prajapita Brahmakumaris in green energy projects.

In 2007, both the German and Indian governments worked with the Prajapita Brahmakumaris to create the world's largest solar cooker and a solar thermal power plant in Talheti at the base of Mount Abu, where the international headquarters of the Prajapita Brahmakumaris is located. This resulted in considerable decrease in consumption of carbon based fossil fuels and creating a pollution free environment.

Bon appetit with sun

The offered fruit is prasad. Nataraja has partaken of its spirit. The physical remains may be eaten by physical beings with no karmic repurcussions.
