My experience of Grace

August 15th was more like a launch for Adonai films. It was program where the film was to be shown to over 800 people. On August 14th the film was at that stage were nothing was put together. All my concentration had gone into making promos. I heard a voice giving me a clear instructions (which I was told to write in my prophecy book). HE told me to put my entire effort and the Word of God (verses from the Bible) powerfully and to highlight the subsections (description of the various BCCRS programs) really well description.

The next day in the film was ready just 2 hours before screening. As I rushed to the venue there was a sigh of relief. I was i the control room waiting fir the film to be screened. I was told the format of the films does not match the laptop at the venue. So we downloaded the format and we could not see the film. But were not able to hear. Ultimately we realized that the audio cable s from the control room had an issue.. The film was played without an audio and what stood out most powerfully was only the word of God.

God is in Control session August 15, 2010 has been the largest audience for any screening that ADONAI films has had so far. I would have probably felt let down that the audio did not work. But there was amazing peace. This is the third time in life that I could understand what is grace of God..First being when I was laid off from Hp where I worked. ( If you have not read the article "My Walkin in the media". Would recommend yo to read)

All along I knew that is GREATEST VICTORY IS WHEN YOU CAN TAKE FAILURES GRACEFULLY.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.

Isaiah-55:8

The Light of the Lamp ( Jamanalal Bajaj Trust)

As year 2010 began I was asking the lord if he wanted me venture out into films for the NGO sector. In February, Mam Movies entrusted me with the film for the Jamanalal Bajaj Trust based in Sikar, Rajasthan. I was honored.

As a child I had heard about Shri Jamanalal Bajaj from my grand father. When I was doing research for the film I learnt about his humble and compassionate nature, his dedication to country and zeal for the change. Shri Jamanalal Bajaj was adopted as a grandson.

By the end of the research I had learnt something new " It does not matter where you are born but what is God’s plan for your life and it is the plan of the Almighty to place Shri Jamanalalji in such a home through which he could help the poor, work towards the freedom of the country and live as an icon to the business community (a person with absolute business ethics). Although the film was suppose to be about the activities of the trust. I would fail in my duties if I did not pay my tribute to a person who had dedicated his life to serving humanity.

"The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Mathew- 25:40

I was asked to interview the Bajaj’s which was initially not in my agenda. This took me to their residence in Mumbai. I was reading my bible before the shoot and
I heard a voice which said "Do not keep it your bag keep it out".
I said ‘Marwadi family and business home and I am here for the task you have entrusted. I do not want anything to back fire’. The voice repeated “Keep your Bible out’and I heeded to the voice’.

It was bright day and as I waited for the Bajaj’s to arrive Mr. Apoorv Bajaj greeted me with a warm smile. He seemed to be very warm. I was at once put to ease by his gentleness, humbleness and grace. Mr Shishir Bajaj arrived and we now spent some time talking about his views and I could now visualize the contents of the film. During the interview he mentioned that Apoorvji would be answering other questions. Now this came as another surprise as I had no plans to interview Apoorvji.

As Ridesh and me began to interview Apoorvji I began to realize that, this interview is the very heart of the film. It was as though I was interviewing Jamanalaji. His passion for people, love for the country and most of his love for the creator was what struck me the most. I knew why the lord had lead me there.

Next few days I was with the team in Sikar who was working ceaselessly towards making a difference in the sectors of education, agriculture, health and other areas, which in turn contributed to the overall development of the individual and the Kasikabaas Villages. It was at Sikar that I heard that there is a person in the Bajaj family who is so passionate about people, the people love him and he is constantly praying for people’s needs. When I gathered that my joy had no bounds. I knew he was listening to the voice that I was. It was too hard to believe but "Nothing is impossible for God." He was a ardent believer of Christ.

Ever since I had heard about that the I kept this request in prayer “I want know more about this person’s faith”. Two months hence, as soon as the film was submitted I got an opportunity to ask him about his faith. The first thing he said ‘ Divyaji I know you read the Bible “. My God!!!! Your ways are higher than my ways and your plans higher than mine". It was clear why the Lord had asked me to keep my bible out. On one of the occasions we got together and also worshipped together.

The Bible says

Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Isaiah – 60:4
AMEN

Christmas ( Duration: ( 9 min 14 secs )

As the name says "Christmas" was the time when the world was gifted with its savior. The little we could do is to prepare for the arrival of the Messiah and we decided to make the film.

Shibani, my sister in Christ had been supportive of most of my theater and film production volunteered to anchor the film. Christmas was made on streets, coffee shops of Bangalore.

About ‘Christmas’

Everyone enjoys Christmas to the fullest. Christians, Hindus and all celebrate the festival . To each one it has a different meaning. But all agree that this was day a great Soul was born- Jesus and HE has his own connection with every individual. This film captures the festive spirit of Christmas and communicates the message of Jesus as interpreted by common people on the street.Christmas is the voice of the deep and inner thoughts of children of God from different faiths. Their immense love and regard for Christ brings to pass that..

That the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth:
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is lord, to the glory of God the father.
Philippians 3:10-11

The Gospel and Climate Change

After making a film on Water I felt connected to creation of God and it had made me more responsible and sensitive towards the environment. I felt the Lord was calling me to learn and lead awareness campaign through films. Thus the thought of participating in the Climate Change competition conducted by the UK embassy occurred.

The film had to have a base and nothing could be as sturdy as The word of God, which is the Rock. Just then someone had sent me an invite to attend a Climate Change conference in Bangalore. I could not make it for the conference but as I was going through the list of speakers, one topic caught my eye "Ecological Crisis is a Spiritual Crisis".

I called the speaker REV.K.C Abraham and he readily volunteered to be filmed. Thus started the shoot for "The Gospel and Climate Change". This film suggested conservation through usage of non-conventional methods feature. Glen who was a part of the company, which was the 3rd largest wind producer in the world readily agreed to be filmed, and June has constantly being a prayer partner, Close friends of mine who have stood by me during various stages of my life stood by me once again. The film received over 1200 hits on the internet and the Lord had connected The Gospel and the Climate change and the deep down in my heart.

The Bible says- And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the Garden of Eden to dress it and keep it. Genesis - 2:15

About "The Gospel and Climate Change'.

Ecological crisis is a spiritual crisis. Spiritual and theological writers have, in recent times, been summoning us to the conversation and demanding that we pause to rethink and refeel our attitudes, towards the earth and towards its fullness, now in a process of depletion.
A Short film by Divya Bhatt conveys the divine message of the Lord to save Planet Earth. Earth is the womb of God and all God’s creation is the heart of God. It is truly a human responsibility to nurture nature and to save it from destruction. The film aims at awakening the community at large as nature is a spiritual cause.
The film puts forth some possible solutions to save the planet through faith in the human potential which is used very rare such as solar - energy, wind - energy, rainwater harvesting, etc Only through this way can humans fulfill their purpose on Earth and re-built this planet earth.

"Living Water"- screened at the 4th Intl Film Festival on "Water"

LIVING WATER explores the eco friendly means of water management. Its place in the world-from the beginning of creation, till date. The Holy Scriptures highlights the intention of God Almighty to create water, for and in the existence of mankind. Man has been given dominion over all creation, including water - which if not looked after will destroy human life.
There are some studies and efforts undertaken by experts to conserve and preserve life's vital enabler. Privatization of water management has its effects - like business gains reaped in the process and potential infringement of human sovereign rights. In the recent times, Karnataka's former capital was handed over to a private company without any notice to its citizens. Land is being aggregated and transferred to private companies.
Rather than co-existing with water, human beings have always looked at what can be extracted from it. It's simple. Man needs water. It's in man's best interest to live harmoniously with water. 'Preservation is Communion' is key to giving back to water what it enables us to be. ALIVE.

Making of " Living Water"

After the success of Sankalp films I was only looking forward to many more shoots, but nothing came. I was asking to Lord to show sign's if am doing it right thing and also to bring hope to those people who were constantly worried if I have made the right choice and I will survive . It's around that time that I heard about the 4th International film festival on water. As I decided to make a film I knew I would not do this alone I connected Vinay who had once shown interest in filmmaking and was a supporter of Jeevan Lakshya.

Although we started with an objective to submit the film as an entry for film festival somewhere along the way we stop working towards the festival and then it was about the film.

All along all I knew was that the foundation of the film had to be laid in the beginning of the creation. As water was one of the first elements on which the spirit of God breathed upon.

" In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters".
Genesis-1- 1- 2.

We traveled to the Rangantithu, Mandhya, Sangam, Shiva Samudram and also we also filmed the opinions of some who had contributed to the research and resolving the water crisis either through Lok Adalats , being a part of anti- privatization lobby in India etc.

On one of Sunday's at the Church Victor Satish connected us to Ashley who had been once be a guide in The Vatican. Ashley, volunteered to Anchor the film, She was outstanding. Santosh work with us editing the film at Vinay's parents home were we enjoyed tremendous support from the entire family all the days we worked there. Uncle Clement was so passionate about plants and he gave his gentle but firm opinions of how the film was shaping up. Auntie Ann with her continuous supply of her nutritious diet and beverages. The lord has ever supplied to his children and overlooks his tasks through his people.

The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want. Psalm- 23-1

The film was in the finishing stages but was not competed. We travelled to Goa for a filmmaking course and when returned figured out that he date of submission of the film was extended. This was a sign we had to submit the film to the panel. As we submitted we figured that there where 109 entries out of which 20 were chosen and our film "Living Water" was chosen to be screened at The 4th International Festival on Water. This was nothing but God's hand again.

Every word in the bible, which is tested and tried, proved it again. Andy helped with music while Lisa with her expertise in Language".

I the Lord, the first, and with the Last : I am he.
Isaiah 41: 4

My friends who had truly believed that I was threading the right path stood be me and where present for the screening. To the world It was marvelous but I know in the heart of hearts that. It was a miracle yet again and a reassurance that I am walking in the path chosen by him.
