Mumbai, 4th April 2022: A small town Don Bosco Centre in Karjat near Mumbai, which installed a Stations of The Cross – depicting the crucifixion of Christ, has become a local centre of attraction. Karjat town is located in the outskirts of Mumbai city in Raigad district of Maharashtra. Besides Christians, believers of other faiths visit the 67-acre Don Bosco Centre property with rolling hills for nature walk, prayer and meditation.

The Stations of The Cross, also known as The Way of the Cross, is a depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and accompanying prayers. The resurrection of Christ from the dead is celebrated as Easter – the oldest of Christian festivals. The 54-piece life-size tableau, installed by Church Art of Kolkata, start with the condemnation of an innocent man, forcefully loading the cross on him, and making him carry the instrument of his death to the hill of execution on Calvary. Notable among the representations are – the moment Jesus meets his mother; women who weep over the sufferings of Jesus; woman who dares to do an act of kindness toward Jesus; or a stranger pressed in to help Jesus carry the cross.

“The Stations of The Cross installed by Church Art before Easter has become an added attraction for groups of pilgrims and also others who arrive here by bus or train. The people come to seek peace, tranquility and appreciate the unique spiritual atmosphere. The pilgrims start out on the nature trail with devotional props like wooden crosses, crown of thorns and nails signifying the instruments of torture inflicted on Jesus in His final moments before crucifixion,” says Director of the Centre, Salesian Fr. Anthony Santarita.

Church Art is a Kolkata-based firm which creates a wide variety of aesthetically-appealing works of art and undertakes spiritual and artistic projects as per the canonical concepts and guidelines. Church Art has so far installed over 14 Stations of The Cross across India and abroad, including the one at the famous Bandel Church in Hoogly district of West Bengal.

“Most of the The Stations of The Cross installed by Church Art across India and abroad have a spiritual and artistic appeal which draws people from all walks of life,” said Mr Subrata Ganguly, founder of Church Art.

With the onset of spring season, April is a month of religious and cultural festivities in India cutting across different religions and geographies. For the Christians the holy season of Lent with its 40 days of prayer and penance will end on Saturday 16th April culminating on Easter Sunday marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

For Christians, the week in which occurs Good Friday and Easter is considered Holy Week which starts from Holy Thursday marking the institution of the Holy Eucharist and remembering Jesus washing the feet of his twelve disciples setting an example of servant leadership before his torture, crucifixion and death on the cross.

The Stations of The Cross at the Don Bosco Centre at Karjat is spread over one-kilometer trail offering nature walks and free counselling to people of all faiths on every Friday of the year since the beginning of Lent. Pilgrims are also welcomed daily during the holy season of lent which started on 2^nd March and will end on 16th April 2022.

Santarita says, “Several people who came with knee and spinal complaints and due for surgery, testify that after the completion of the way of the cross they experienced healing.” One of the helpers at Don Bosco Centre Salesian Br. Alister has collected some of the healing testimonies on video.

The Don Bosco Centre at Karjat under Salesian Fathers are a part of the Bassein East India Association also called the East Indians of Bassein. The first Catholics of Bassein came before the arrival of Portuguese and had set up a Catholic church at Supara in the 14^th Century.

Aries Plex SL, Thiruvananthapuram, grabbed the headlines after winning the prestigious International Film Festival (IFFK) award organized by the Kerala state government. This was bestowed on the organization in recognition of its excellent facilities provided for the event. A cash prize of Rs 10,000, a certificate, and a sculpture was awarded to Aries Plex Director, Mr. Joy, who received the award from State Finance Minister Shri K.N. Balagopal. AriesPlex theatre is owned by Dr. Sohan Roy, Founder Chairman and CEO of Aries Group of Companies.

The theatre has been recognized and received many accolades in the past. Blockbuster Tollywood movie, Bahubali received the highest collection in India from Aries Plex. The Audi One in this theater has an imported silver screen, one of India’s largest screens. Images from two projectors are simultaneously combined and delivered to the screen, resulting in images that have no other resolution. The 4K technology visual layout and sixty-four channel 80,000 watts Dolby Atmos sound system offer the audience an immersive cinema experience. These reasons that film enthusiasts from all over the state flock here to enjoy the magic of big-budget movies at their finest quality. The Rajinikanth movie 2.0 also received the highest collection from this theatre. Mohanlal’s ‘Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea’ also enjoyed the highest number of shows in the theatre. Aries Group’s CEO, Dr. Sohan Roy, a Hollywood director, stated that audiences would only come to the theatres to see the movie during this ‘COVID’ period if the theatre owners were willing to give the audience the best viewing experience.

“India is the country that releases the largest number of movies globally. But the film industry and theatres are not getting the revenue they deserve. The biggest reason for this is the lack of theatres that provide the best visual experience and facilities. Suppose a huge capital investment is made for the development of theatre infrastructure. In that case, the revenue will increase manifold, and India will become a country that can significantly contribute to the global cinema market. As part of our Project: Indywood, we have developed a large platform for global investment. The infrastructure at AriesPlex SL is set up as a model for this masterpiece. The accolades received by this theatre indicate that our efforts are being recognized. We are now building home theatres and education theatres using the same standards to bring visual quality to homes, schools, and institutions. The latest trend is pre-fabricated home theatres that can be set up on the house’s terrace within a single day,” he added.

Aries Plex is a model institution that paid salaries to all the workers even when all theatres were closed during  COVID. The theatre is also equipped with ‘Wolf Air Mask,’ a novel air sterilizing device that disinfects viruses, including COVID, by keeping the air clean.

Not really as she never belonged to the glamour industry. May be the destiny had other plans for her, director of reality/fighter/traveller/inspiration. She is none other than supremely talented pretty woman Mina Banerji the director.

While female directors and executives in Hollywood continue to fight for equal representation in the film industry, female filmmakers in India are waging a similar battle against their own country’s long-standing patriarchy. Women filmmakers are challenging the status quo across the wildly diverse landscape of Indian cinema, spanning countless genres and nearly a dozen languages, whether at the art house, regional cinema or within mainstream Bollywood. However, even by the still unequal international standards, female representation behind the camera remains abysmally low.

In spite of all according to Mina – ‘There’s nothing called a male director or female director. A director is a director is a director. I have trust on my creativity, my directorial skills. So, what I’ll be doing, it’s purely on my own,” says a very confident Mina adding that she wants to motivate other females trying to don directorial hat. She’s the girl who has travelled a long way from being working for corporates, travelling worldwide to finally becoming a producer/director

She directed Bamb Grenade with popular Punjabi rap-singer Dil Sandhu. Also handling all Dil Sandhu projects. There are few other interesting projects also which are on way the details of which she will disclose very soon.

Mina’s all-time favourite Bollywood director are not one, There are so many fantastic directors,” says Mina. She usually love to be travelling as love meeting and interacting with new people, explore new cultures and traditions et al, reading books, gardening and listening to good music.

Vision problems and blindness due to multiple eye complications are on the rise amongst the Indian population – mainly due to cataract, diabetes retinopathy, glaucoma and other issues. It is a serious concern for a country that already has the largest population of blind people in the world, of over 8 million. The reason behind such a large population suffering from vision problems is the lack of even basic health care facilities to people who live in the poorest parts of the countryand cannot afford healthcare cost because of poverty. If access to timely treatments would have been possible, a large percentage could have been prevented from going blind.

Knowing this fully well, Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya (SRN) has been treating the population for various eye related problems since 2003 not only in Mumbai but also holding regular eye camps in the interior parts of the country in association with NGOs. During the period of two decades since SRN was established in 2003, the institution’s constant endeavor has been to provide international eye care services across its four facilities located in Mumbai, at Thane, Mulund, Vashi and Seawood. SRN has full NABH accredition. SRN works closely with CGHS and Ex Servicemen health scheme.

The SRN mission has been the dream of Dr. Nitin Deshpande, a highly qualified eye specialist and chairman, who along with his team of qualified doctors has performed over 50,000 surgeries in the past 20 years and earned the trust of over one lakh patients. Cumulatively the team has over 150 years of experience in providing critical eye care treatment. Says the Chairman, “Today the second generation of young doctors are working in close tandem with each other and are providing world class services and surgeries at affordable prices. Shree Ramkrishna Netralaya’shighly capable team of specialists provide comprehensive eye care to every section of the population at our centres and in the rural areas at very reasonable costs, compared to our peers.”

SRN has a holistic approach to eye care. For vision problems has an economical cost too. Timely treatment of vision problems helps prevent blindness and increases access to education for children, besides it helps access to employment and prosperity, and enables greater participation in civil, social and political life among the adult population. A report by NGO Orbisreleased on the World Sight Day, has found that between 2019-20, the loss to gross national income due to blindness in adults would be Rs 9.06 lac crore and Rs. 3.31 crore for children – for 10 and 40lost working years respectively. This includes the loss of economically productive years for both the visually impaired and their care-givers.

SRN is equipped with latest diagnostic and surgical equipments to cater to all patient needs under one roof. The Ophthalmologists in the hospital are specialists in the fields of cataract surgery, glaucoma surgery, lasik surgery, lasik vision correction and more. The hospital is dedicated towards providing a high-class eye care service to one and all. Concludes Dr Deshpande, “Having served thousands of patients with quality eye care, we find ourselves humbled in gratitude for being able to deliver hope and promise in every eye that sees us. We stand committed to serving this cause to as many and in as better ways as we can.
