What occupation do both Guru Dutt and Denys Arcand have in common?
Guru Dutt Vasanth Kumar Shivashankar Padukone (9 July 1925 – 10 October 1964), better known as Guru Dutt, was an Indian film director, producer and actor. He made 1950s and 1960s classics such as "Pyaasa", "Kaagaz Ke Phool", "Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam" and "Chaudhvin Ka Chand". In particular, "Pyaasa" and "Kaagaz Ke Phool" are now included among the greatest films of all time, both by Time magazine's "All-TIME" 100 best movies and by the "Sight & Sound" critics' and directors' poll, where Dutt himself is included among the greatest film directors of all time.
Mul Mantar The Mul Mantar (Punjabi: ਮੂਲ ਮੰਤਰ , "Mūl Maṃtar ", pronounced Mool Mantar) is the first composition in the Sikh holy text and Great Living Guru, the Guru Granth Sahib, written in Punjabi. It is a series of affirmations and is the basis of Sikh theology, as well as the fundamental prayer. The Mul Mantar is the first composition of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The Guru Granth Sahib begins with the Mul Mantar and it occurs more than one hundred times throughout the text where it is placed at the beginning of the particular Shabad. Bhai Mani Singh explains that the reason for placing the Mul Mantar at the beginning of a Shabad is that a Gursikh (Guru's Sikh) should remember that everything else will eventually be annihilated and only the Satnam (All-pervading Supreme Reality) will remain. It can be considered as the moral or the sole truth of the universe. The Mul Mantar is the most widely known part of Sikh scripture but it has posed a challenge to translators.
