“Watching this film was indeed a rare experience. It seemed to touch the core of one’s being and give a fleeting glimpse of that peace beyond peace.
This film is in simple terms – enchanting, enlightening, unpretentious, honest, and beautiful, seen through the kind eyes of a brilliant and a perceptive seeker.
The craftsmanship of cinematography, editing, sound and narrative is wondrously perfect and seamless. A moving experience that can stir up the seeker in you. Thank you Akanksha Joshi for this beautiful gift! “
