When Schumi Drove A Taxi - Duke Jeyaraj
A story about F1 Racer Schumi wrapped around the Gospel by Duke Jeyaraj
2011 - THE YEAR OF DOING “BOTH” FOR DUKE, EVAN & the G4 MISSION!
The annual report of G4 Mission, the ministry to modern youth founded by Duke Jeyaraj
“I am still a virgin, thanks to… “It is going to be just another Sunday Morning Church message I am going to deliver as a guest preacher,” Duke thought. But God had a surprise for him, waiting. Just before he was given the mike in a church he preached in, in the year 2011, the pastor’s daughter, a young woman in her early twenties, took the mike. She said, “When I was in still in Boarding School, Duke anna came to preach there. The year was 2001. He preached a message on beating sexual temptations from the book of Amos. He challenged us students to write in our Bibles, ‘I will wait till marriage to have sex!’ He asked us to swap Bibles have our neighbors sign as witnesses for what we had written. I wanted to be pure in the one life I have to live. So I did what Duke anna asked us to do. After I graduated from that school and went on with life, there were temptations that crossed my path. But I am glad to let you know that I am a virgin today. I am so glad that very same Duke anna is now in my dad’s church to preach God’s Word this Sunday morning!”
What that young lady shared greatly encouraged Duke. It was in fact the ‘the testimony of the year’!
What's so unique about Jesus that people in well-earning jobs throw them aside, to dedicate their entire life and all their waking time just to tell others about Him? What’s the big deal about Jesus that you get to hear about Him Christmas after Christmas? As a teenager, I once wrote a letter to a movie starlet. What did I write? "I love you and can't live without you?" Nah. I wrote to her about a person who had made such a difference in my life – Jesus. Jesus? What's so unique about him that I had to write to a movie actress about him? Hang on.
All roads lead to Rome? Popular music troupe, Colonial Cousins sang a song that went on to become a big hit: Come back as Jesus, come back and save the world/ We need a teacher and you are the only one/Come back as Rama and forgive us for what we have done/Come back as Allah, come back as anyone…Colonial cousins were only eloquently putting into music a popular philosophy called pluralism which you will bump into time and again. A pluralist would say, "All religions lead to the same destination; you have your religion and I'll have mine; let's not fight or argue over religion!" Whenever I have witnessed about Christ while traveling, 99% of my fellow passengers would bounce back at me with this stereotype response. Stumped by this response I started thinking hard and also reading on this controversial subject. You see, if Jesus wasn't unique it did not matter who I followed. It did not count what way of life I chose. This article is the baby of my reflections on this crucial subject.

PURITY LESSONS FROM THE MOVIE, THE DIRTY PICTURE - Duke Jeyaraj
The movie, The Dirty Picture, starring Vidya Balan, created a tremendous buzz in India and across the World. This movie grossed Rs.50 Crores within one week of it’s release. “It had the biggest opening ever for a woman-oriented film in the history of Indian Cinema,” reported The Times of India (December 9, 2011). Can we glean out lessons for purity from a movie named, The Dirty Picture? Yes we can! Here’s how:
1. The Lesson About INNER CRAVING. This movie is obviously based on the life of Silk Smitha, though there is an explicit denial of this by the movie makers. Can it be a mere coincidence that the movie released on the same day the real Silk Smitha was born – December 2nd ? As one website put it, “(This movie) is an unofficial biopic around the life and upheavals of Southern sex symbol Silk Smitha.” What was the end of Silk Smitha’s life like? She committed suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan in the bedroom of her home in Saligramam, Chennai on September 23, 1996, when she was just 36 years of age, leaving a suicide note that talked about several failures and financial difficulties. The years of having men lust over her body through her erotic performances on screen, the years of having affairs with several men, the years of alcohol consumption, the years of making a quick buck from the movie world by compromising her moral values, did not satisfy the inner longings of her soul. Vidya Balan, talking about the character ‘Silk’ she played in the movie, The Dirty Picture says, “She has no restraint. Some may feel that she is shameless. I think she is a girl who wants to enjoy the pleasure of life at every opportunity. Whatever she feels, she says it and whatever she wants to do, she does it…” This sort of ‘bold’ behavior left her in the ‘cold’ - feeling empty, dejected and depressed. It left her reeling in loneliness that she decided to end it all.
Duke Jeyaraj on the Bike Crash death of Azhar’s teenage son
The date was September 11, 2011. On this day, in the year 2011, two Airplanes flew into the World Trade Centre in New York and changed the course of history. On the same day, 10 years later, two youngsters were riding on a bike on a broad road that led to the Airport located in the outskirts of the city of Hyderabad. What happened in a matter of few seconds sent arrows into the hearts of their two fathers of these youngsters. We are talking about Cricketer-Politician Azhar's 20-yr son, Mohd. Ayazuddin and his cousin brother here. Ayaz was going at about 200 kmph when he lost control of his Suzuzi GS XR 1000 Super bike, only to crashed it. He was thundering down the road so fast that he was dragged for about half-a-kilometer after the bike toppled, newspapers said. He lost his battle for life five days after this accident, following a multiple organ failure. His 16-year-old cousin brother who was pillion riding behind him passed away almost immediately after the accident. My heart went out to Azharuddin. I was his ardent fan during the days he played cricket for India. Cricket has not seen such a wristy batsmen like him. My mind started thinking after read about this tragic event.
A response to that Ram Gopal Verma's statement from the Bible by Duke Jeyaraj
"I am proud of my porn collection!" was the headline of the article I read that particular issue of Hyderabad Times supplement of The Times of India (November 12, 2011). That was a statement made by Ram Gopal Verma, the controversial Indian movie director. What he said in public many young people may well say in private. They are in the secret habit of actively gathering porn and viewing it. And the collection grows by the day. And while some of them are loud in saying that they are proud of their porn collections others keep their porn-viewing habit a top secret. A secret which they would not even share with their best buddies. Is collecting porn and watching it, something you can be proud of? What would God think of such a behavior? Should we pass off porn-watching as a harmless entertainment and part of the process of growing up as an adult? No. Here found below an analysis of what God would think of porn:
