(March 2010) Shriram is a known non-religious rationalist. Once after being conferred with an award called Punyabhushan (Pride of Pune) on behalf of the organization called Tridal, he was interviewed by Sudhir Gadgil. When asked about Jabbar Patels play, wherein Dr. Lagoo had to stand before Lord Vitthal, did you stand there as a devotee or only as per the demand of the script? Lagoo replied I stood there as if I was standing in front of a stone that is known as Panduranga.[7] He has written an article titled Time to Retire God which provoked hot discussions in the print media and other public platforms in India. This article was written as an introduction to a book on Dr. Abraham Kovoor. In this article Lagoo logically came to the conclusion that the concept of God is defunct. He is actively associated with the Anti-superstition movement in Maharashtra. He used to call god as another superstition and his lectures during the ANS programs used to go like this:[8] “I do not believe in God and I feel it is now time to retire God. Concept of God is a very beautiful product of poet’s imagination and was essential during the initial stages of civilization but the time has come when one should face the world with a completely rational attitude. For the past five thousand years, there has been no proof of the existence of God and faith in a phenomenon, which cannot be proved scientifically, is nothing short of superstition. Many inhuman practices, atrocities and wars have taken place in the name of ‘God’. It is not only necessary, but also our duty to abolish the concept of God to end these consequences because it is a great injustice committed against humanity. Only rational thinking has the capacity which places person above all living beings but when he/she believes in God he/she gives up this ability and blindly accepts what has been told. He/she submits his/her intellect to passive conditioning and then there is no difference between him/her and an animal. In the early stages of civilization, when human beings began to live in a society, the concept of superior being was necessary to maintain morality, which came out of fear. Also many of the natural phenomena which scared human beings and to which they could not attribute any reason, came to be regarded as manifestations of the divine power. But today when man has the mastery over nature and accepts any theory only after verifying it on a scientific basis, there is no need for the concept of a supreme being. What is needed is a broad based value system of humanity.” Filmography[edit] Marathi Movies[edit] Sinhasan (1980) with Arun Sarnaik, Datta Bhat, Shrikant Moghe, Nilu Phule, Madhukar Sarpotdar, Rima Lagoo, Satish Dubashi, Raja Mayekar, Arun Joglekar, Nana Patekar, Sushma Tendulkar, Lalan Sarang and others Saamna (1974) with Nilu Phule and others Pinjra (1973) with Sandhya, Nilu Phule, Ganpat Patil and others Zaakol (1980) with Tanuja, Urmila Matondkar, Sarla Yeolekar.
