Spiritually inclined, I had read many spiritual books and quite a few from the wonderful Swami Kriyananda, founder of Ananda Sangha. One of them the New Path, his Autobiography was especially exciting and a deep learning curve of the quest, hardships and perseverance and a life long dedication first to finding a teacher and then to dedicate ones life for the teaching, in what one believes in. That is the the secret to success in any sphere and walks of life, without exception. And when I heard a movie had been made and it had won awards all over the globe at festivals I had to see it. Thank the gods that I had mutual friends who helped me get an invite to the private premiere of this movie and it ticked all the boxes, that one eagerly awaits to see after reading a book. The characters chosen were apt and pulled of their roles well enough to bring us back to an era where such god men and their god like disciples lived. Like the expectations come after reading LOTR or the Harry Potter series, the anticipation is an experience similar for each scene in this movie. I rank it high with movies like Padre Pio and such. A highly recommended watch.
