REVIEW:
SYNOPSIS
Sadhana... The Odyssey of a young Westerner who follows the call of his soul to India - the land of ancient and spiritual wisdom of the East.
During the next months, he travels from the hotlands of Southern India to the source of the Ganges river in the Himalayas. Along the way, he meets holy men and spiritual teachers, travels and learns the discipline of detachment with a sadhu, and attends India’s most sacred religious festival, the Kumbha Mela.
The result is a compelling docudrama about India. The scenes shot at the Kumbha Mela offer never before seen footage of the millions of pilgrims and holy men converging at the sacred basin of the Brahma Kund. It gives us a glimpse at the living spirit of Hinduism.
In it’s North American release, Sadhana drew an enthusiastic response. Commentators compared it in scope and impact to such films as Siddharta and Meetings with Remarkable Men. Step-by-step, it takes us all Back to the Source.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS France Lafuste (Le Devoir, Montreal)
“In our increasingly impersonal world of computers, multinational corporations and ecological chaos, it is logical for an individual to search for a meaning in his life. Some will search for it in ritualized religion while others will strive to find it in ancient Eastern belief systems more closely aligned with nature. Sadhana teaches us to understand the world by understanding the self, for while the world may be in turmoil, our minds and spirits need not to be.” Alan Dexter (Festival Review, Toronto) “The film offers some vivid illustrations of Hindu traditions. The visual of sacred Indian people, events, caves and mountains are impressive. Coverage of the Kumbha Mela is especially powerful.” Douglas Todd (The Vancouver Sun) “This movie provides a starting place on the road to inner awareness.” Eric Noll (New Texas Magazine)
