About the Film
Our Inspiration
After introducing Sri Aurobindo’s involvement with the freedom struggle of India and the Role of Integral Yoga in India’s & world’s future through the Film “Sri Aurobindo: A New Dawn”, we are making another Film to share the message of Sri Aurobindo given to India on the eve of its independence (14th August 1947), when a new nation – but in reality one of the oldest living civilisations that got disconnected with its own roots & strengths – was born at a time when the whole world had just gone through two world wars and moving towards further chaos.
When Sri Aurobindo’s Message was aired through All India Radio, Tiruchirapalli, back then, it hardly reached the masses and eventually got lost in the tracks of history.
Today, the world situation has not changed much and its relevance has only increased. Sri Aurobindo's message in the form of Five Dreams gives a New Hope to the people of India who are grappling with the challenges of the modern times. The Message is an inspiration to work towards bridging the gap between today's reality and the future ideal, and how all of us can make it happen by the roadmap given by Sri Aurobindo.
For Whom Are We Making This Film?
The film is aimed at achieving this singular goal of taking Sri Aurobindo’s 5 Dreams to the masses and more so, the youth of India. The film is also a call to all those who are seeking a higher life and turning more and more towards India, for its Yoga.
We want to ensure that this Message, in Sri Aurobindo’s own words, reaches all Indians in a simple, relatable and visually inspiring way.
