Kumare: Film Analysis Toward the middle of the film‚ I began seeing a change in Vikram Ghandi (Kumare) as he visited Gabriel Urantia and went back to his home yoga center.

Krishna’s advice to Arjuna and Socrates’ daimonion have several overlapping concepts‚ similarities‚ and differences. In the video‚ the conversation with Krishna and Arjuna almost immediately begins to show some similarities with Socrates’ daimonion.

Some people are fatalists of the worst kind. They have a very wrong notion about God. They think that since they worship God‚ God will shower all kinds of blessings on them. They remain idle in the hope that God will help them in all eventualities. Such people lose self- confidence‚ become miserably dependent on fate and ultimately suffer failure and ruin. God has blessed us with aptitudes‚ talents and faculties. He expects us to make full use of them. He cannot possibly encourage us to lead a
