Follow on Google News | Mantra Yoga Film Reaches New AudiencesThe mantra Yoga film Personal Time with Swami-ji which was shot in the Indian Himalayas offering rare personal time with Yoga Swami, Swami Sudaranand has reached out beyond just those personally interested in Swami Sundaranand’s work.
The film, 157 mins, was shot in Gangotri at the source of the Sacred Ganges River where the Swami, now over 80 years old, has resided since 1946. Prior to the 1970’s Gangotri, near the Indian Tibet border, was only accessible via foot. Swami Sundaranand is considered the last of the great Himalayan Yogis and was one of the primary students of Swami Tapovan Maharaj (1889–1957) Swami Sundarand in the film presents the virtues of mantra Yoga, the repeating of words for self realization, and ties that into the long standing tradition of yoga and pranayama breathing practices. Mantra word repititon is one of the primary parts of traditional yoga as much as body poses though today in the west yoga is often first thought of as being just Asanas or body poses. Mantra is one of the key elements of Yoga and the Yoga Swami explains in the film how mantra Yoga offers protection and guidance in one’s life. He further emphasizes that mantras do not have to be just in Sanskrit as is the tradtion but can be in any language and be any words so long as the person repeating the words loves those words. The film, according to the film’s director, Victor Demko has primarily been sought out by those who wish a full and in depth yoga experience and those who want the experience of sitting with an authentic yoga Swami at his modest hut high in the Himalayas. Demko envisions more of the yoga audience finding the film over time as the desire for indepth knowledge of Yoga increases in the western world and mantra and pranayama become integrated more with the yoga body poses. http://www.youtube.com/ The film Personal Time with Swami ji is available exclusively throuth http://thecenterforhealingarts.com/ # # # Yoga film on DVD, Personal Time with Swami-ji offers an in depth experience of sitting with a real Yoga Swami high in the Himalayas.
