Gurukulam

In a remote forest ashram in southern India, students from around the world gather to learn from Swami Dayananda Saraswati, an influential Indian monk dressed in saffron robes, who unfolds the ancient Hindu wisdom of Vedanta (one of the philosophical roots of yoga). A sensual and quiet depiction of life at the remote forest ashram where chores, meditation, ritual, and rigorous study are woven together seamlessly, the film immerses the viewer in a place of extraordinary beauty and simplicity. Gurukulam is a rare invitation to look, listen, and experience a contemplative rhythm of life as old as the Bhagavad Gita and as new as present-day India.
