Video or DVD - 65mins approx
£15.00(Video) £17.50 (DVD)

Filmed in the temples and towns of Tamil Nadu, this video taps the roots of Indian Spirituality, that have nourished South India without interruption for thousands of years.

The colour and clatter of everyday India is depicted against intense sacred ritual and awe inspiring architecture, thereby highlighting the relationship between the manifest and the spiritual worlds.  The video is a journey through spiritual India and is also a journey of the individual soul.  Poetry, thought and image combine with the sights and sounds of India to convey an overall sense of human spirituality.

Featuring interviews with Swami Suddhananda at his ashram near Tiruvannamalai and with Roger Housden, author of 'Travels Through Sacred India', the handbook of spiritual travellers in India.  Narrated by James Swartz,

Swami Suddhananda

60mins - Video £10.00 - DVD £12.50

Straight from the source, from an oral tradition stretching back thousands of years, and under a tree at his ashram near Tiruvannamalai, Swami Suddhanda reveals the Vedic view of human reality, in terms both eloquent and inspirational.

Equally appealing to the logic of philosophy and to the intuition of spirituality, the satsang covers vital areas of existence - identity, creation, faith, ritual, liberation, not to mention plain and simple human happiness His talk addresses the very basic issue - What is it that really makes us happy?

In laying out this Vedic universal vision, Swami Suddhananda speaks from the standpoint of Absolute Reality.  Neither he, nor anybody else may dwell there all the time, but the territory to which the satsang takes us, must surely be the ultimate frame of reference.
