TRAILER
A wonderful film about the unique energy and expression of 14 European spiritual teachers. Some of them are well-known masters like Rupert Spira and Mooji, others are hidden gems. They all share their knowledge of traditional Indian teachings – especially those of Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi – and combine them with insights from Western psychology. The result is a unique film, perfect for the modern Western spiritual seeker. The teachings are complemented by sensitively selected film footage and touching mantra music by Deva Premal and Miten. In the film: Mooji, Deva Premal & Miten, John David, Rupert Spira, Karl Renz, Francis Lucille, Michael Barnett, Om C. Parkin, Padma & Torsten, Dolano, Tony Parsons, Christopher Titmuss.

TRAILER
16 Indian spiritual masters, many of them well-known such as Ramesh Balsekar and Swami Dayananda, answer questions based on the teachings of Indian saint Sri Ramana Maharshi. The teachers discuss important topics that we encounter on the spiritual journey, such as enlightenment, self-inquiry, the nature of mind, guru and devotion. The range of the masters is very wide and their contributions are enriching, revealing great spiritual clarity in simple words and inviting us to experience satsang with them. The interviewer John David, himself a realised teacher, is deeply familiar with the subject of awakening. He has been accompanying seekers on their spiritual path for many years.

In this film we will explore the growing trend of people experiencing a spiritual awakening seemingly out of the blue.
Lakshmi, a resident of the Open Sky House spiritual community led by John David, experienced a profound spiritual awakening while composing an email in the community office.

Sri Ramana Maharshi’s life and teachings
1h 12 min
“Your own self-realisation is the greatest service you can offer to the world.”
– Sri Ramana Maharshi
TRAILER
Arunachala Shiva paints a very personal picture of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of India’s most famous sages of the 20th century. The film shows the most important aspects of Sri Ramana’s life and his teachings, in which he explains self-inquiry (Who am I?) as the most direct path to self-realisation. Fascinating original footage of Ramana and the holy mountain Arunachala as well as stories about his life take us behind the scenes to moments with his closest disciples. Modern and thought-provoking commentaries by three experts, David Godman, James Swartz and John David, offer new and unexpected insights into his teachings and challenge established ideas. A beautiful and profound tribute to the spiritual greatness of Sri Ramana.
