  • A daughter’s journey distilling the nectar of the stories and songs she heard as a child. Weaving ancient texts in the fabric of modern life. Rediscovering the land of her childhood, absorbed from her mother, where religion was synonymous with the celebration of life, in all its colours. Journeying from the Himalayas to the Peninsular India, through rivers, mountains, forests, caves. She meets many practitioners. Each conversation reveals unfathomable depths to seemingly simple rituals she inherited. The nature of life. Why we are born? Why we die? What is change? And what amidst Life’s constant flux is the One.... constant, unchanging, unmoving?
    This cinematic journey creates an experimental rendering of one of the Earth’s oldest spiritual traditions. Come. Wander. Experience.

    When I met an Indian Master 3 years ago my life changed! I was blessed with Shaktipat and discovered a divinity within myself that completely altered my perception of the world! My new name is now Sanatan! To quote Swamiji 'You have forgotten who you are!' Not anymore! xxxxxxxx

      Yeah of course as long as you like your gods that you worship have these characteristics!!!!
      Reply to this then.
      Yes, that's right. Hindu "gods" rape women according to Hindu
      scriptures. One must ask, how can someone worship these "gods" even
      though they raped women? I'd certainly lynch these criminals if they
      were around now in these times. Here are quotes taken from the Hindus
      "divine" scriptures:
      "One day the sage Atri was performing tapas with his wife Anasuya.
      Brahma, Visnu, and Siva came and offered him a boon, but Atri remained
      silent, meditating. Then the three gods went to Anasuya. Siva had his
      linga in his hand, Visnu was full of erotic feeling, and Brahma was
      beside himself with desire, saying to Anasuya, 'Make love with me or I
      will die.' When she heard this coarse speech, Anasuya made no reply,
      for, although she feared the anger of the gods, she was true to her
      husband. But they were overcome with delusion, and they raped her by
      force. Then she became angry and she cursed Siva to be worshipped as a
      linga, Brahma to be worshipped in the form of a head, and Visnu to be
      worshipped as feet, in order to ridicule them all, and she cursed them
      all to be reborn as her sons. Because of this, Siva was reborn as
      Durvasas." -- Bhavisya Purana 3:4:17:67-78.
      "Formerly the gods lusted for Gautama's wife and raped her, for their
      wits were destroyed by lust. Then they were terrified and went to the
      sage Durvasas [an incarnation of Siva], who said, 'I will remove all
      your defilements with the Satarudriya Mantra [an ancient Saiva
      prayer].' Then he gave them ashes which they smeared upon their
      bodies, and their sins were shaken off." -- Padma Purana 4:101:174-9.
      ".... Indra raped Ahalya and was cursed by her husband, the sage
      Gautama, to lose all his prosperity ...." -- Brahmavaivarta Purana
      4:47:11-45.

A film lifting a person from a negative to a positive state of mind can only be termed a success. Akanksha, the very experience of watching your film has been peaceful. And I have yet to complete watching it. I would call your tribute to your parents a prayer. God bless.

    Having been born, studied, traveled and experienced a lot in India for the last 23 years during this lifetime , I have only one phrase to describe 'life' in my country : " Meaningful Chaos ". I have seen more " wise " people on the streets of my country than in the corridors of prestigious universities. This video is probably the only one of it's kind because it brings out the very essence of the vedic wisdom without getting entangled in the details. I really cannot believe that someone has actually pulled it off so beautifully. Hats off to the team. Hope life will take you to greater heights. " YATHO VAACHO NIVARTHANTHE APRAAPYA MANASA SAHA ".

    There are various ways one can attain spiritual awakening - by rituals, by knowledge of vedas, by worshiping. Experience is the world’s best teacher.
    I totally agree with KVS. Can you be happy within yourself - regardless of what others think about you or talk about you, regardless of your imperfections & shortcomings? If so you are awakened. If your happiness depends on others or the material world, then its not happiness, its attachment / co- dependency.
    Proud to be born in India 🇮🇳
    Proud of what India has given to the world - the Vedas.

    I bow my head in respect to you, O, Tree!
    You are my guru
    In how you generously bear the weight of leaves and flowers and fruits
    For the sake of others,
    In how you bear the hardship of the summer heat
    And the pains of the winter afflictions,
    For the sake of others,
    And in how you offer your body and life at the end
    For the well-being of others.

    HI Akanksha :
    Congratulations !!!! This is a beautiful film -- in less than 50 minutes you have beautifully described Sanatan Dharma (BTW as Swami Satyananda explains in the film, I try to avoid using the word 'Hinduism') . . . Commentary, interviews, video shots, landscapes, the chants, the music -- everything is perfect . . . in particular, about 6 minutes commentary at the end accompanied by Raag 'Bhairavi' in the background is deeply touching.
    Sanatan Dharma or the Vedic Dharma is grossly misunderstood, even by its so-called followers, not to mention by foreigners.
    In Sri Aurobindo's words:
    "The highest spirituality indeed moves in a free and wide air far above the LOWER STAGES OF SEEKING, which is governed by religious FORM AND DOGMA. . .But man does not arrive immediately at that highest [spiritual] inner elevation and, if it were demanded from him at once, he would never arrive there. At first he needs lower supports and stages of ascent; he asks for scaffolding of DOGMA, WORSHIP, IMAGE, SIGN, FORM, SYMBOL, SOME INDULGENCE and permission of mixed half-natural motive on which he can stand while he builds up in him the temple of spirit. Only when the temple is completed CAN THE SUPPORT BE REMOVED, THE SCAFFOLDING DISAPPEAR. . . It is only if we have a just and right appreciation of THIS SENSE AND SPIRIT OF INDIAN RELIGION that we can come to an understanding of the TRUE SENSE AND SPIRIT of Indian culture." ("The Foundation of Indian Culture", p. 122)
    The film will allow not only foreigners but many Indians too of all faiths understanding the true import of this age old philosophy, religion, spirituality, Dharma, or the 'Way of Life'. I have already watched it at least a dozen times since I accidentally found its link on facebook.
    Thanks again for bringing out this great work for the world to enjoy.

My book Seed of Genius also focuses towards this inner self-awareness and optimizing ourselves while on Planet earth.

    Watched it. Loved it.
    It has been made with a lot of love and affection. Most of the protagonists are people from outside India who have been influenced and have chosen to adopt the Hindu way and live in India. They have come under the influence and learnt the ways from scratch. They have thus tasted the nectar, and have decided that this is the aim of their existence.
    The film maker has had the Hindu tradition handed down to her through family rituals and elders’ stories. Now she has embarked upon a journey to delve into the truths behind the tales. What better analysts than those who have chosen to renounce their previous ways of life and adopt the Hindu way. Their approach is objective, and they go straight for the jugular, without getting bogged down in anything whose essence they do not understand.
    Yes, it is a soul-led approach to a way of life, not a set of rules and customs. It is an experience that lightens and uplifts.
    It is a child’s tribute to her Baba and Amma. As such, we see a lot of reserve and restraint in Akanksha; in her words, in her voice; more awe and less dance. Some of us miss the childlike abandon, but we understand that it has been sacrificed to respect and gratitude.

    This movie is nourishment of the soul. We use this to teach people basics of Hinduism. Akankasha Ji you should have added just one more Rigvedic Shloka to give this documentary completeness "Indram Mitram Agnim Ãhu atho; Dhivya Sah: Suparnah Garûthman...E'kam Sath Viprah: Bahudhãh Vadhanthi, Agnim; Yama Matharisvãnam Ãhuh: -- Rig Veda - Verse I-164.46- For me Ekam Sat Viprah Bahudhah Vadanti - Truth is only one & wise know it by different names.. is one of the most important statement of ancient Indian thoughts... Thanks for making this movie..

    Hindu Nectar is like being served hot piping chai on a cold winter morning - a reminder of home that invokes a sweet longing for....for the forgotten, for the deeply buried memories and for the missing pieces of one's self. It helps that the visuals are gorgeous and Chinmaya's background score is appropriately haunting. This 45 minute film confirms that India is not a nation, India is a spiritual proposal, a way of dropping the self and finding the Infinite. Cannot wait to see what else Akanksha will manifest in the future!

      ***** Well done! I wish you would also go up in the himalayas around Uttarkashi, valley of saints. Also some Vedic schools where there is authentic Vedic Chanting in the traditional Manner. There are numerous new studies which show the harmonizing influence of Vedic mantras and yagyas in the environment. Unfortunately the art of Vedic chanting is diminishing, perhaps you could help in the revival by making it part of your future docus. The background score is beautiful!!

It's you. It's your own journey. It will take you to your own inner silence. It will shake you from your core. If you are done with watching movies, watch Hindu nector and your thirst would be filed.

      ***** "The unquestionable content of the experience is that about which nothing more can be said. Indian scriptures give cases of teachers who dispelled the doubts of their pupils by assuming an attitude of silence on this question. When we hear enthusiastic descriptions about the ultimate reality, let us remember the dictum of Lao Tze that he who knows the Tao way may be recognised by the fact that he is reluctant to speak about it."..."God is too great for words to explain. He is like light, making things luminous, but himself invisible. And yet cannot afford to be absolutely silent. Though the tools of sense and understanding cannot describe adequately, creative imagination with its symbols and suggestions may be of assistance. The profoundest wisdom of the past is transmitted to us in the form of myths and metaphors which do not have any fixed meaning and therefore can be interpreted as life requires"...."If experience is the soul of religion, expression is the body through which it fulfils its destiny". [All excerpts from "A sourcebook of Indian philosophy" - Dr S Radhakrishnan, Charles.A.Moore]. Thanks again, to all at Hindu Nectar and to you specifically for having devoted two years of your life in generating such a beautiful expression.

      @mohammedqadeer3422 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you proud of your constitution aswell the way they treat lower castes, and the minority’s, and what about your rapist gods, I took this from your scriptures!!!!
      Vishnu
      Vishnu is said to have raped Tulsi/Vrinda by assuming the guise of her husband. What can be more disgusting than a god raping a chaste lady? And much worse is the celebration of this rape as a festival. Yes you read that right. Hindus proudly celebrate the rape of Vrinda by Vishnu in a festival called Tulsi Vivah.
      Shiva Purana, Rudra Samhita 2, Yudha Khanda 5, Ch 23.38-45 ”On seeing her husband, Vrnda too was delighted. She forgot her sorrow. She considered everything a dream. Delighted in the heart and with all the dormant passions kindled up, she sported with him for many days in the middle of that forest. Once at the end of the sexual intercourse she realised that it was Visnu. Vrnda rebuked him angrily and spoke thus. Vrnda said:-Fie on this misdeed of Visnu in outraging the modesty of another man’s wife. I have now realised you as the wielder of illusion, appearing in the guise of an ascetic. Sanatkumara said:-O Vyasa, saying thus in great anger she showed her brilliant powers as a staunch chaste lady by cursing Visnu. “O base foe of the Daityas, defiler of other people’s virtue, O wicked one, take this curse from me, greater in force than all persons. The two persons whom you made to appear in front of me shall become Raksasas and abduct your wife. You will be distressed on account of separation from your wife roaming about with Sesa ‘lord of snakes’ who posed as your disciple here. You will seek the help of monkeys in the forest.”
      Lol 😂!!!!!!
      At least have the decency to tell the world the truth about Hinduism!!!!
