More Details
Three hundred years before Ramanuja appeared in 1017 A.D., another great personality, Sankaracyra had attempted to establish his doctrine of absolute, undifferentiated oneness. Ramanuja qualifed this oneness by the concept of spiritual variety of form and activities. As a result of his teachings, a wave of devotion swept the religious life of India. This film recreates the period with detailed authenticity, dramatizing Ramanuja's struggles against prejudice and persecution. The philosophy is presented with a deep appreciation for his profound purity and love of God.

As the final conflict between the Pandavas and Kauravas draws near, Lord Balarama breaks His vow to marry His daughter to Abhimanyu, son of Subhadra, and instead offers her to the cowardly son of Duryodhana. Insulted, Subhadra takes her son to Ghatotkacha, son of Bhima, and a master of black magic. Ghatotkacha decides to fix the problem and teach the Kauravas a lesson. As usual, Krishna is the Supreme Arranger who remains the power behind all thrones. Ingrigue, magic, damsels in distress, demons, fixed dice, and a continous stream of special effects make this devotional movie especially entertaining. It was produced nearly 60 years ago, and it portrays these transcendental pastimes with a purity that is hard to find in today's cinema.
