(SCENE 1)
After finally attaining Nirvana, Govinda decides he wants to bring back characters in the books that he read back when he was a young Brahmin. After reaching the highest point of pure bliss, he still feels that something is missing. He came up to a theory that the greatest teachers don’t have to exist in real life but in books, and by bringing them back he hopes to learn more from these characters. How did Govinda bring these fictional characters to life? Since he reached Nirvana he was able to focus his meditation so deep that he brought each character to life.
Govinda: [anxiously] SIDDHARTHA! I am so glad to see you! I have much to tell you
Siddhartha: Govinda, it’s been a long time since we last met my friend, you seem excited
Govinda: Siddhartha, after my journey to Nirvana I have come up with a theory that even the greatest teachers don’t have to exist in real life
Siddhartha: [seems puzzled] Govinda I am happy that you have a came up with a theory of your own, you are on your way to great wisdom
Govinda: Siddhartha will you help me complete this journey by showing up at this event?
Siddhartha: Yes my friend it will be a new experience for you and I as well
Siddhartha: May I ask were this event will be held?
Govinda: It will be held at one of the fictional character’s houses, that I brought to life
Govinda: I came across this character in the book called The Great Gatsby
Siddhartha: When was this Govinda?
Govinda: Back when we were young Brahmins, It was on one of the bookshelves
Govinda: the story says that he lives in Rhode Island, West Egg I believe
Siddhartha: Rode Island? West Egg?
Siddhartha: Govinda, out of all my journeys I have never heard of these places
Govinda: It’s all the way across the world and it will be different than any other journey we have come a crossed
Govinda: We will have to cross the great blue ocean to arrive to this certain destination
Govinda: A country called the United States of America
Govinda: It is completely different what you and I are used to
Govinda: This will be a new adventure we will both learn from
Govinda: The man goes by the name of Jay Gatsby
Govinda: He follows his heart with a passion and is blinded by love
Govinda: I am interested what made a man feel like this
Siddhartha: Well Govinda I can only imagine
Siddhartha: During my journeys I came across a woman
Siddhartha: She goes by the name Kamala, she is a wonderful teacher in the art of love
Siddhartha: She will be of good use
Govinda: Siddhartha you have never seem to fail me
Govinda: That would be excellent my friend
Govinda: Let her know about this event
Govinda: It would be an honor to meet her
Govinda: We will have a get together at Gatsby’s house with the rest of the chosen characters
Siddhartha: I see were you are going Govinda, I wish you luck and I will see you at Mr. Gatsby’s event
Siddhartha: Till then, farewell my friend [Siddhartha goes back to the river]
(SCENE 2)
Govinda goes upon on his journey to bring back the rest of the characters. Meanwhile Jay Gatsby gets a letter from Govinda, telling him about the event that Govinda wants to plan.. Gatsby gets really excited, not about the party but how this could be his last and only chance to see Daisy again. So Gatsby quickly replies to Govinda telling him it would be an honor to throw a party for him. Gatsby invites Nick Carraway to tell him the great news, Nick is suspicious about Govinda because he has no background information about him. Nick ends up telling Tom and Daisy about this event and even though Tom doesn’t want to go Daisy convinced him to go. After a couple of days of planning the big day was finally here, Jay Gatsby’s house as usual looked spectacular all the characters were arriving and they all went to the ball room were they await for Mr. Gatsby to lead them to the diner hall.
