Short Cut To Nirvana
Streaming video - 2004
The Kumbh Mela is the biggest gathering of people in the history of humanity – although few in the West have ever heard of it. More than 70 million pilgrims attend this extraordinary spiritual festival, which has been held every 12 years near Allahabad, India, for over two millennia. SHORT CUT TO NIRVANA takes a voyage of discovery through this vivid and vibrant world, accompanied by an irrepressible young Hindu monk, Swami Krishnanand, and several Westerners, each on their own spiritual quest. More than a simple account of the Kumbh Mela, this film is a sensory experience of an ancient, grand occasion, a swirl of color and motion, song and cacophony, the sacred and the surreal --spiritual India exactly as anyone would hope to find it. An...d from this ancient tradition comes a powerful and uplifting message of harmony, unity, and peace for all humanity. Winner of Best Documentary at the **Sedona International Film Festival** and at the **Tiburon International Film Festival.** *"A snapshot of the festival, one that radiates good cheer and offers moments of true, godly goodness." - Carla Meyer, **San Francisco Chronicle***
