The DVD contains as bonus material 40 minutes lifestories of the commentators plus high quality photographs. REVIEW This film is a wide and varied investigation and homage to the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, it examines his life, his teachings and his legacy. I particularly liked hearing about his life from two western men who now live near the Ashram where Ramana lived. For me, it is always useful to see the often mystical Indian tradition through Western minds. In this DVD you can see just this, while not taking away from the beautiful presence of Ramana Maharshi and the power of his life. The director shows many clips of Ramana sivved from the archives of the Ashram, so you really get a great chance to see the saint as he was in his daily life. The film doesn't idolize Ramana or try to paint an unjust picture, but tries to capture his essence and to let that speak for itself. Most of all I really appreciated the stories about Ramana that various people tell, especially David Godman and James Schwartz. They paint a very different picture of him that is perhaps harder to see when looking just at his devotional legacy. He seems so real, so down-to-earth, and yet totally seeing through it all. The film really allowed me to see this, which touched me much more than just focusing on how saintly he was, or how serene! A beautiful homage to a beautiful man. --Atmana This film is a wide and varied investigation and homage to the Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, it examines his life, his teachings and his legacy.
