They belong among the most
remarkable literature in world
10
00:01:59,919 --> 00:02:04,993
They expand, in poetic outpourings,
the view of man's identity
11
00:02:05,291 --> 00:02:10,434
of "atman", the individual self,
and "brahman", the universal self
12

which pervades the world

24
00:02:59,612 --> 00:03:04,652

language of ancient India
28
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:20,373
It is also the language of Vedas
29
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:25,171
Even today it is a spoken
language among some scholars
30
00:03:25,505 --> 00:03:30,614

32
00:03:33,646 --> 00:03:36,217

is symbolic
40
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:22,594
But we can't understand it's depth
41
00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:25,262
Do you understand?

come for him to leave the world
51
00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:05,959
He prepares to detach his mind
from his human form
52
00:07:27,046 --> 00:07:29,151
Have you rendered your daily duty
to Kesava, the deity of the temple?
53
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:30,623
Indeed I have
54
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:34,459
The temple opitomises the body
55
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:06,589

00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:28,229
Where to, Father?
- Unto Eternity
65
00:11:29,021 --> 00:11:30,295
Why ?
66
00:11:31,924 --> 00:11:33,801
This body is mortal
67
00:11:34,060 --> 00:11:38,202
Where is Eternity?
- Within oneself
68
00:11:39,932 --> 00:11:43,505
Then you are not really leaving ?
69
00:11:47,873 --> 00:11:49,011

00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:57,853

71
00:11:58,617 --> 00:12:02,394
If it is imminent then
do not be afraid of it
72
00:12:20,406 --> 00:12:23,250
Recite the verse I taught you
73
00:12:24,210 --> 00:12:30,752
Like water that descends from
the skies and flows into seas
74
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:37,997

Chanting of "Gayatri",
a holy mantra
85
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:16,918
Shankara recalls
his Father's words
86
00:16:23,048 --> 00:16:29,556
The body is mortal
I go to Eternity
87
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:56,961
Please give us the banana too
Please give me too
88
00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:00,493
Mother, give me too
89
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:10,967
This is wisdom
Can he stay with us?
90
00:17:11,163 --> 00:17:15,373
Many are here
Why can he too not join us?
91
00:17:15,901 --> 00:17:17,437
Come and stay here
92
00:17:28,647 --> 00:17:31,856
Shankara, do you remember me?
93
00:17:35,354 --> 00:17:37,459
Yes, I do
Come, be with us
94
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:05,587
The Upanishadic imagery of two
birds, the crow and the dove
95
00:18:07,619 --> 00:18:15,619
The crow is the doer,
the active one
96
00:18:27,372 --> 00:18:34,847
The dove is the "atman"
(inner self), the passive observer
97
00:18:48,026 --> 00:18:54,910
(The Sanskrit school
located in the Temple grounds)
98
00:19:39,645 --> 00:19:41,921
Shankara
Why are you late today?
99
00:19:43,482 --> 00:19:47,931
Who are these boys ?
- My friends, Wisdom and Death
100
00:19:48,220 --> 00:19:52,566
Mother gave me permission
I brought them here
101
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,536
All right
Go and sit over there
102
00:20:05,437 --> 00:20:08,782
Master, I am Wisdom
103
00:20:09,074 --> 00:20:12,021
Master, I am Death
104
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:15,119
It's fine
105
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:18,161
But Wisdom and Death do not
have human forms
106
00:20:18,550 --> 00:20:20,723
If you are so named, so be it
Be seated
107
00:20:28,427 --> 00:20:32,773
I have a physical form,
yet I am ignored
108
00:20:36,435 --> 00:20:38,472
A poor man's home
109
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:50,040
A verse from the scripture,
the Bhagawata, is heard
110
00:20:58,023 --> 00:21:05,168
The wisdom of truth
is like the nectar
111
00:21:05,931 --> 00:21:13,931
of the fruit of
the Tree of Veda
112
00:21:27,352 --> 00:21:29,730
Mother, give me alms
113
00:21:30,589 --> 00:21:32,068
Wait, I am coming
114
00:21:47,105 --> 00:21:55,105
May the Goddess looks kindly on me
115
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:08,352
shower her blessings in plenty
116
00:22:16,702 --> 00:22:20,650
Lady, why weep?
- No, nothing, son
117
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:24,477
You are like a mother to me
You can tell me why?
118
00:22:25,510 --> 00:22:31,119
My husband brings a mere handful
119
00:22:32,551 --> 00:22:37,193
He says hoarding food is sin
120
00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:45,670
The wise who control past,
present and future
121
00:22:47,232 --> 00:22:51,339
understand the universe
122
00:22:51,903 --> 00:22:59,903
as plainly as a berry seen in
the palm of the hand
123
00:23:39,184 --> 00:23:42,631
Mother, give me the alms
124
00:24:05,710 --> 00:24:08,782
Take some alms
- No, I don't want alms
125
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:16,822
Why not?
126
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:22,561
To hoard food is a sin
127
00:24:22,761 --> 00:24:24,968
So I will not touch your stock
128
00:25:09,541 --> 00:25:12,021
Come here
129
00:25:18,183 --> 00:25:23,326
Distribute your food supply to
the poor and needy
130
00:25:24,456 --> 00:25:26,834
How an Ito believe that the
self does not change?
131
00:25:27,325 --> 00:25:30,932
Observe this boy
When he moves, he cannot stand
132
00:25:31,162 --> 00:25:36,305
When he stands, he cannot move
ls that not so, my child ?
133
00:25:39,437 --> 00:25:42,782
lam not aware of my body
134
00:25:43,041 --> 00:25:45,282
lam thinking of the lady we saw
135
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:50,652
Did you hear ?
The boy is here, his mind elsewhere!
136
00:25:51,816 --> 00:25:53,159
Okay, let it be
137
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:55,023
We will meet later
138
00:25:57,489 --> 00:25:59,162
Master - Yes
139
00:26:00,625 --> 00:26:04,573
Sir, can a human being
attain equanimity ?
140
00:26:05,263 --> 00:26:07,106
By becoming a Sanyasin
(a monk)
141
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:12,705
Shankara decides to renounce
the world to become a monk
142
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:22,154
I will be a monk and be exalted
It may trouble Mother, though
143
00:26:32,490 --> 00:26:35,130
Mother, I want to become a monk
144
00:26:38,797 --> 00:26:41,903
See, the milk is dripping
Wipe it
145
00:26:47,505 --> 00:26:49,951
Mother, I want to become a monk
146
00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:53,418
Where is Wisdom ?
Go play with him
147
00:27:00,051 --> 00:27:02,190
Mother,
I want to become a monk
148
00:27:02,387 --> 00:27:06,426
That is no easy matter
Please don't say that again
149
00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:12,272
Shankara recalls
the words of his Teacher
150
00:27:13,365 --> 00:27:19,475
Paths of action and of renunciation
are ways sanctioned by scripture
151
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:23,152
One has to merely follow
one's soul
152
00:27:23,475 --> 00:27:28,254
But very few accept the latter
when so young
153
00:27:28,947 --> 00:27:35,262
The revered teacher Govinda
was the only exception
154
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:39,897
Such men are rare
155
00:28:52,464 --> 00:28:55,809
Who are you?
When did you begin to steal?
156
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:57,844
Stay where you are
I shall punish you
157
00:29:29,768 --> 00:29:31,941
What is this punishment ?
158
00:29:32,337 --> 00:29:37,719
He can't touch the cloth,
nor can he jump over it
159
00:29:37,876 --> 00:29:40,482
Shall I untie it?
160
00:30:14,979 --> 00:30:16,481
Come down
161
00:30:32,530 --> 00:30:37,275
Vow that you will never steal again
- I promise
162
00:30:37,802 --> 00:30:40,442
I ma telling you the truth,
lever won't do it again
163
00:30:40,772 --> 00:30:43,082
Here take it
164
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:56,093
Eat it is for you
165
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:16,846
Uncle, what kind of punishment
is this?
166
00:31:17,141 --> 00:31:20,179
Son Physical punishment is never
a lasting one
167
00:31:21,045 --> 00:31:23,423
The psychic one endures
168
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:25,922
He won't do it again
169
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:27,493
How can you trust him ?
170
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:31,824
"Trust in Self" is the
path of the scriptures
171
00:31:33,358 --> 00:31:37,500
A noble secret,
a great tradition
172
00:31:40,331 --> 00:31:44,905
Alas, a tradition we are
fast losing
173
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,904
Shankara, get up it is late
174
00:32:57,909 --> 00:33:01,550
Why are you here?
- Waiting for you
175
00:33:07,652 --> 00:33:09,359
Where is Wisdom?
176
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:26,038
Shankara is drawn to the
saffron robe?
177
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:30,671
Saffron denotes renunciation
Monks wear saffron robes
178
00:34:57,228 --> 00:35:01,142
Shankara wants to be a monk
179
00:35:01,766 --> 00:35:08,115
Let him become one,
but let him live long
180
00:35:16,747 --> 00:35:17,987
Shankara!
181
00:35:20,651 --> 00:35:21,789
Shankara!
182
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,560
Shankara!
183
00:35:26,457 --> 00:35:27,868
Shankara!
184
00:35:40,705 --> 00:35:41,843
Shankara!
185
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,026
Mother prayed for you
186
00:35:54,819 --> 00:35:56,389
Shankara!
- Mother!
187
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:03,294
Shankara?
188
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:08,842
You are a monk now
189
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:12,140
Mother has permitted you
to be a monk
190
00:36:14,605 --> 00:36:17,950
Now you can be a monk
191
00:36:19,043 --> 00:36:22,115
I saved him from the jaws
of the crocodile
192
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:25,184
You possess all the virtues
May fortune smile on you
193
00:36:27,552 --> 00:36:28,860
Come with me
194
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:10,830
I will bring milk for you
195
00:37:19,770 --> 00:37:23,809
Drummer proclaiming
196
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:55,976
"The play Nachiketa will be
performed in the Krishna Temple"
197
00:38:28,639 --> 00:38:32,985
A ballet in the style
of Kerala State
198
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:38,218
Nachiketa waits for three days
in the house of the Lord of Death
199
00:38:38,282 --> 00:38:43,459
Making a respected guest wail
bodes ill for the host
200
00:38:43,721 --> 00:38:47,828
The Lord of Death returns
201
00:38:48,025 --> 00:38:51,029
He granted his wish
202
00:38:51,395 --> 00:38:55,207
I made you wait for three days
203
00:38:55,299 --> 00:39:02,148
In return I grant you 3 boons
Ask for them
204
00:39:08,379 --> 00:39:14,887
May my father shed his anger
against me and welcome me back
205
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:16,697
Granted
206
00:39:16,887 --> 00:39:23,497
Reveal the secrets of the holy
fire to me
207
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:25,237
Granted
208
00:39:25,463 --> 00:39:29,343
Third and the most important
209
00:39:29,467 --> 00:39:37,113
ls there life after death ?
Learned men debate and disagree
210
00:39:37,208 --> 00:39:41,588
Please, you reveal the truth to me
211
00:39:41,645 --> 00:39:46,219
Dear boy, I shall give you wealth,
grant you long life and happiness
212
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:49,558
But please don't ask this question
213
00:39:49,887 --> 00:39:54,267
I want neither wealth nor pleasures
I wish to know the secret of life
214
00:40:28,759 --> 00:40:32,468
You are the one to tell me
Instruct me
215
00:40:57,822 --> 00:41:00,063
You have experienced it
216
00:41:00,124 --> 00:41:02,331
Experience is superior to logic
217
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:05,100
Contemplate and be firm
218
00:41:05,463 --> 00:41:08,000
The drum and the proclamation
is meaningless
219
00:41:08,132 --> 00:41:10,544
There is no truth here
220
00:41:10,768 --> 00:41:14,944
Truth must be sought in the heart,
with devotion and dedication
221
00:41:19,677 --> 00:41:25,491
I am leaving to seek
Govindapada Look after Mother
222
00:41:25,916 --> 00:41:31,423
Should you not inform her ?
- I go with her blessings
223
00:41:33,390 --> 00:41:37,202
Who will perform my funeral rites ?
It is the sacred duty of a son
224
00:41:38,496 --> 00:41:40,271
Mother, I will return to
perform the rites
225
00:42:52,303 --> 00:42:56,274
The Kerala- Karnataka border
226
00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:15,468
The trees of blind belief falls
on a believer
227
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:23,678
A group of believers bury him alive
228
00:43:29,740 --> 00:43:37,740
Shankara sees social injustice
He views the cosmos in its entirety
229
00:43:57,334 --> 00:44:01,783
Tell me, who are you ?
230
00:44:01,872 --> 00:44:09,872
You, so fierce in form,
O supreme power
231
00:44:10,681 --> 00:44:16,188
I bow before you Have mercy
232
00:44:16,620 --> 00:44:22,536
I know not what you intend to do
233
00:44:33,303 --> 00:44:38,480
Unperturbed, Shankara moves on
234
00:45:12,876 --> 00:45:17,222
Gokarna, North Karnataka
235
00:47:39,323 --> 00:47:40,301
Oh!
236
00:47:40,791 --> 00:47:43,670
People come here and see!
237
00:48:55,299 --> 00:48:57,677
Vishnu, an old friend,
calls out to Shankara
238
00:49:19,923 --> 00:49:21,027
Shankara.
239
00:49:21,224 --> 00:49:24,535
Vishnu, I became a monk
with Mother's consent
240
00:49:25,228 --> 00:49:27,265
Do you like austere penance?
241
00:49:27,931 --> 00:49:30,411
Remember the verse from
the Bhagwat Gita
242
00:49:31,001 --> 00:49:36,314
Duty is its own reward
243
00:49:38,241 --> 00:49:40,983
Shankara!
May I follow you?
244
00:49:41,611 --> 00:49:44,956
If we are together we will succeed
245
00:50:03,967 --> 00:50:08,006
State of Madhya Pradesh,
Central India
246
00:50:16,446 --> 00:50:22,624
These symbols of imperfection
aspire for perfection
247
00:50:26,757 --> 00:50:27,963
Shankara
248
00:50:28,258 --> 00:50:31,705
Are you still awake,
shivering with cold?
249
00:51:16,573 --> 00:51:20,419
Omkareswar, Central India
250
00:51:31,088 --> 00:51:35,298
Hindu tradition dictates that one is
first a disciple, then a householder
251
00:51:35,659 --> 00:51:40,039
Then comes the practice of austerity,
leading finally to renunciation
252
00:51:40,697 --> 00:51:47,342
A bachelor can also be a monk
I prefer this approach
253
00:52:01,751 --> 00:52:03,355
The holy river, Narmada
254
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:07,295
Govindapada's hermitage
must be near
255
00:52:20,837 --> 00:52:25,217
The River Narmada turns violent
256
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:32,986
Shankara suppresses it by prayer
257
00:52:43,260 --> 00:52:45,297
You are the primal force
258
00:52:45,362 --> 00:52:48,866
Supreme and oldest among all
259
00:52:49,332 --> 00:52:52,245
The root cause of the Universe
260
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:55,441
You are the Knower,
And the Known, too
261
00:52:55,672 --> 00:53:00,178
Pervader of all
the greatest refuge for all
262
00:53:02,045 --> 00:53:08,428
The eternal, ever-flowing one !
263
00:53:41,985 --> 00:53:48,402
Victory to the boy who quelled
the turbulence of Narmada!
264
00:53:48,525 --> 00:53:52,371
Come let's go.
Let's pay our gratitude
265
00:53:57,767 --> 00:53:59,405
We are thankful to you.
You are so welcome
266
00:53:59,536 --> 00:54:01,812
Please come.
267
00:54:01,972 --> 00:54:03,576
Do come
268
00:54:04,307 --> 00:54:07,413
Where are you coming from
and what's your destination?
269
00:54:07,544 --> 00:54:10,388
He comes to learn from the
renowned monk, Govindapada
270
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,585
Welcome! Welcome, please come.
271
00:54:53,223 --> 00:54:54,429
Come
272
00:54:54,624 --> 00:55:00,540
lam Shankara, son of Shivaguru,
a brahmin from the South
273
00:55:02,632 --> 00:55:05,408
I need your initiation to resolve
the enigma of existence
274
00:55:07,537 --> 00:55:09,312
So I am here to be
under your guidance
275
00:55:14,244 --> 00:55:17,453
You have a body made of five senses
276
00:55:18,014 --> 00:55:20,790
And it is perishable
277
00:55:21,084 --> 00:55:25,260
But atman (the Individual Self)
is imperishable
278
00:55:25,355 --> 00:55:30,031
This body is destructible, it keeps
perishing, not the soul or atman
279
00:55:31,061 --> 00:55:33,007
Come, son.
Come here
280
00:55:46,142 --> 00:55:48,088
You will be a great ascetic.
281
00:55:51,948 --> 00:55:57,159
A chant in praise of the atman
282
00:57:01,584 --> 00:57:03,723
What do you like to see?
283
00:57:16,966 --> 00:57:18,639
You be blessed
284
00:57:29,345 --> 00:57:30,517
Come
285
00:57:37,687 --> 00:57:42,534
These are the aphorisms of the sage,
Badarayana Study them in depth
286
00:57:50,300 --> 00:57:53,907
Sir, these are all torn
287
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:58,047
True. But no one cares for them.
288
00:57:58,408 --> 00:58:02,356
I tried to preserve
them but failed
289
00:58:02,712 --> 00:58:06,751
Sir, may I restore and edit them?
290
00:58:08,585 --> 00:58:12,260
Perhaps it is the desire of our
great sages that you do so
291
00:58:12,589 --> 00:58:16,833
Comment on these texts and spread
their wisdom among the people
292
00:58:16,926 --> 00:58:18,564
lam highly please.
293
00:58:19,429 --> 00:58:23,377
You will have my help
whenever you need it
294
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,738
This deed will be greatly
helpful to humane emancipation
295
00:58:28,338 --> 00:58:34,584
This will provide you inspiration
and you acquire knowledge from it.
296
00:58:36,045 --> 00:58:38,116
This is for the good of society.
297
00:59:01,037 --> 00:59:05,281
Everything is self
298
00:59:05,441 --> 00:59:10,254
How does one believe it ?
299
00:59:35,972 --> 00:59:41,786
Do you know, Shankara has
rejuvenated Vedas!
300
00:59:41,978 --> 00:59:44,117
Yes, only great scholar can do it
301
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:46,556
His language is excellent
302
00:59:46,983 --> 00:59:51,898
But, how does one believe him?
303
00:59:52,055 --> 00:59:55,867
How would one believe in it?
- Yes, who will?
304
01:00:49,178 --> 01:00:52,250
Earth is, after all Truth
I shall swear by it
305
01:00:55,184 --> 01:00:56,720
First of all, how can we
believe him?
306
01:00:56,819 --> 01:00:59,595
Sadananda! Vidyanad! Chidananda!
307
01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:04,862
All of you come and gather here.
308
01:01:06,462 --> 01:01:07,964
Come here brothers.
309
01:01:09,699 --> 01:01:11,406
All of you come here.
310
01:01:12,669 --> 01:01:14,808
How can it be done?
311
01:01:15,238 --> 01:01:18,845
It's imposable to believe.
Impossible!
312
01:01:35,258 --> 01:01:38,967
It's like killing of Brahmin
313
01:01:39,262 --> 01:01:43,404
How can one believe him?
314
01:02:14,797 --> 01:02:17,243
Death is ultimate truth.
315
01:02:45,962 --> 01:02:47,532
It's a great mistake!
316
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:52,610
It is not my own wisdom
317
01:02:54,070 --> 01:02:57,347
The wise ancients said so
318
01:02:59,442 --> 01:03:02,946
Listen to the story of Satyakama
319
01:03:03,546 --> 01:03:09,394
He asked his mother, Jabala
320
01:03:10,453 --> 01:03:17,928
I wish to be initiated to
Brahminism. Tell me my lineage
321
01:03:18,461 --> 01:03:20,372
That's it.
322
01:03:20,930 --> 01:03:22,910
Mother!
323
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:31,316
Mother! Mother! Mother...
324
01:03:48,825 --> 01:03:51,362
Mother!
- Satyakama, my son!
325
01:03:56,032 --> 01:03:57,807
Mother.
326
01:04:01,938 --> 01:04:06,512
Tell me lineage.
327
01:04:06,676 --> 01:04:12,854
Mother, what lineage
I belong to?
328
01:04:13,783 --> 01:04:21,783
I wish to be initiated to
Brahminism. Tell me my lineage
329
01:04:22,992 --> 01:04:30,992
I wish to be initiated to
Brahminism. Tell me my lineage
330
01:04:31,901 --> 01:04:35,041
Mother!
331
01:04:38,007 --> 01:04:46,007
In truth, I do not know who
your father was
332
01:04:49,185 --> 01:04:54,134
I was merely a humble
servant of him.
333
01:04:55,124 --> 01:04:59,732
Excuse me for it.
334
01:05:00,329 --> 01:05:07,338
You are Jabala's son.
335
01:05:08,271 --> 01:05:16,271
You are Satyakama, son of Jabala.
Tell your teacher. It will suffice
336
01:05:20,816 --> 01:05:24,889
Revered sir, I know not my lineage
337
01:05:24,954 --> 01:05:32,304
I am Satyakama,
son of Jabala
338
01:05:32,495 --> 01:05:40,437
So I am Satyakama,
son of Jabala.
339
01:05:46,876 --> 01:05:54,876
None but a learned person can
speak so, I shall initiate you
340
01:05:58,988 --> 01:06:06,988
So, for truth of it
I shall initiate you.
341
01:06:12,535 --> 01:06:17,280
Such was the faith of the
ancients in truth. Believe me
342
01:06:17,707 --> 01:06:21,245
EXCUSE US, EXCUSE US
343
01:06:24,046 --> 01:06:27,619
Shankara in Banaras, the holy city
344
01:06:33,956 --> 01:06:40,066
Letters combine to form words
The letter is imperishable
345
01:06:40,629 --> 01:06:48,629
Grammar is essential for
understanding meaning
346
01:06:52,641 --> 01:07:00,641
Hear the sound of a vessel falling
Learn "dunkritakara" from it
347
01:07:01,951 --> 01:07:06,422
You get what your deeds
are here itself
348
01:07:06,522 --> 01:07:11,164
Your deeds are decides the plight
349
01:07:13,562 --> 01:07:16,600
Vishnu (the friend believed drowned)
350
01:07:18,300 --> 01:07:20,246
Hey, Shankara!
351
01:07:31,514 --> 01:07:33,084
I am fortunate.
352
01:07:42,458 --> 01:07:47,703
Please accept me a disciple
353
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:53,277
As you wish.
354
01:08:01,811 --> 01:08:03,950
Yes, you will be a Padmapada
355
01:08:08,484 --> 01:08:10,122
We bow at your feet.
356
01:08:10,386 --> 01:08:12,388
True, he is a great Pandit
357
01:08:13,889 --> 01:08:17,666
He is well known to part with
knowledge. He is highly regarded
358
01:08:19,762 --> 01:08:24,575
Revered, you are welcome
in my hermitage.
359
01:08:24,834 --> 01:08:32,834
He is great, highly respected
and wise Master.
360
01:08:38,481 --> 01:08:46,481
A verse in praise of Shankara
361
01:08:50,459 --> 01:08:55,169
I have come refuge
362
01:08:56,265 --> 01:09:04,265
Like the water quenches the thirst
teach me the Upanishds for my thirst
363
01:09:11,380 --> 01:09:19,128
O Shankara kindly take me
under you
364
01:09:19,221 --> 01:09:27,221
O Shankara take me under you
I fall at your holy feet
365
01:09:32,067 --> 01:09:36,709
A fine verse, coming from a fool
366
01:09:36,772 --> 01:09:41,687
Due, of course, to your blessings
367
01:09:46,415 --> 01:09:53,196
You are sweet and pure,
since your heart is pure
368
01:09:54,123 --> 01:10:01,803
When death strikes,
grammar forsakes
369
01:10:02,531 --> 01:10:10,531
When limbs are weak and hair is grey
Doddering, old & toothless too !
370
01:10:25,387 --> 01:10:33,387
Man never gives up desires
371
01:10:40,436 --> 01:10:46,853
Worship the Lord!
Worship the Lord!
372
01:10:47,209 --> 01:10:53,592
Worship the lord,
O you ignorant!
373
01:10:54,183 --> 01:11:02,183
Worship the Lord!
Worship the Lord!
374
01:11:07,763 --> 01:11:15,763
Worship the Lord!
Worship the Lord!
375
01:11:39,295 --> 01:11:46,440
The King of Banaras comes to
see Shankara
376
01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:12,666
You have grace the court
by your honored presence
377
01:12:13,562 --> 01:12:18,011
Thank you I shall come later
I have a task to complete
378
01:12:19,301 --> 01:12:23,875
I have to convey the message
of the scriptures to the people
379
01:12:24,206 --> 01:12:30,589
Use these chariots and horses
for your travel
380
01:12:32,348 --> 01:12:36,524
I prefer to walk while I can
381
01:12:37,519 --> 01:12:45,519
The cycle of birth and death
Life is an ocean, hard to cross
382
01:12:58,006 --> 01:13:06,006
Merciful lord, save me !
383
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:16,250
Pray to Govindam, pray to lord
384
01:13:23,298 --> 01:13:30,876
Hail to Shankarcharya!
Hail! Hail!
385
01:14:07,009 --> 01:14:09,785
The whole world praises you
386
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:14,720
Before the ends comes
I have to make a declaration
387
01:14:15,384 --> 01:14:19,093
...like the Nachiketa knew
of his end
388
01:14:19,321 --> 01:14:21,824
May you excel forever!
389
01:14:23,358 --> 01:14:29,138
Death, you know I won't live long
390
01:14:29,598 --> 01:14:34,741
Nor do I wish a long life
391
01:14:36,271 --> 01:14:39,514
Move away ! An untouchable !
392
01:14:47,316 --> 01:14:49,523
An untouchable is here.
393
01:14:51,353 --> 01:14:53,629
Let us keep away
394
01:14:56,158 --> 01:14:58,968
He is untouchable.
Keep distance from him.
395
01:15:02,264 --> 01:15:04,175
Move away. Move away.
396
01:15:17,312 --> 01:15:22,455
From whom ? From my body ?
Or from my Inner Self ?
397
01:15:23,118 --> 01:15:29,069
The body is of the Earth, and
so, untouchable
398
01:15:29,558 --> 01:15:36,100
The Inner Self is pure
and Eternal
399
01:15:37,966 --> 01:15:41,004
From whom are you
tying to keep distance?
400
01:15:41,203 --> 01:15:49,203
Knowledge is the Universal Self
All worldly creations are illusions
401
01:15:53,415 --> 01:16:01,415
Whoever knows this truth,
whatever his caste, is my teacher
402
01:16:14,536 --> 01:16:22,536
Even being an untouchable you've
taught me like a Guru
403
01:16:50,238 --> 01:16:55,745
This place where you stand is
center of knowledge like Kashi to me
404
01:16:56,545 --> 01:17:02,154
Kashi it enlightening to everyone
405
01:17:03,118 --> 01:17:08,397
This place itself is Kashi to me
406
01:17:08,991 --> 01:17:13,906
I have got the enlightenment
what I could get at Kashi.
407
01:17:28,744 --> 01:17:36,253
Shankara observes a man
on several occasions
408
01:18:52,894 --> 01:18:55,397
Darth is the real Truth
409
01:19:10,912 --> 01:19:14,724
After unsuccessful attempts,
the boy looks straight at the sun
410
01:19:15,283 --> 01:19:20,232
Shankara meditates on an
Upanishadic verse on the Eye
411
01:19:23,358 --> 01:19:28,671
"The living breath residing in the
body is a Prince waited upon by
412
01:19:29,131 --> 01:19:31,407
the select Gods
413
01:19:32,100 --> 01:19:37,573
God of Wrath is in the red of the eye
Rain God is in the Eye's moisture
414
01:19:38,140 --> 01:19:41,417
Lord of Light is in the Pupil
Lord of Speech is in the Iris
415
01:19:41,710 --> 01:19:45,248
Goddess of life is in the
White of the Eye
416
01:19:45,313 --> 01:19:49,318
He who knows this Truth
is free from wants, and liberated
417
01:20:06,735 --> 01:20:11,809
Revered sir, this boy was born
dumb and seems insane at times
418
01:20:12,574 --> 01:20:16,852
My friend, who are you ?
Where are you from ?
419
01:20:17,813 --> 01:20:22,694
Where are you going?
Do you recall Puranas?
420
01:20:23,251 --> 01:20:31,251
I am knowledge, bright and
pure, as the clear sky
421
01:20:32,561 --> 01:20:40,561
Everyone only looks at the
physical form but the real form is soul
422
01:20:43,839 --> 01:20:49,619
This boy perceives the eternal
truth of self, without effort
423
01:20:51,446 --> 01:20:55,895
I will accept him as my disciple
424
01:20:57,219 --> 01:20:58,721
We are obliged
425
01:21:45,934 --> 01:21:49,040
Badarayana, on whose aphorisms
Shankara commented, approaches
426
01:21:49,237 --> 01:21:51,843
Are you Shankara,
the disciple of Govinda ?
427
01:21:55,443 --> 01:22:00,085
Be seated
What can I do for you?
428
01:22:10,258 --> 01:22:18,258
I hear that you commented on
the aphorisms of Badarayana?
429
01:22:19,534 --> 01:22:24,040
Explain one of them
- Which one ?
430
01:22:24,806 --> 01:22:26,444
Ask anything as you wish.
431
01:22:27,108 --> 01:22:31,648
The most important one : "How
is the body linked to the Earth"
432
01:22:32,047 --> 01:22:35,995
Shankara gives an explanation
of the origin of man
433
01:22:36,484 --> 01:22:39,897
as put forth in the Upanishadic
speculations
434
01:22:40,255 --> 01:22:44,965
The soul leaves the body and
enters another after death.
435
01:22:45,260 --> 01:22:46,933
This should be known.
436
01:22:47,228 --> 01:22:54,840
Soul travels in cosmos and
take up a new body.
437
01:22:55,170 --> 01:22:56,581
Think over it.
438
01:22:57,272 --> 01:23:01,015
What's before and after the death.
439
01:23:01,943 --> 01:23:05,186
Soul transits from a body
to another.
440
01:23:05,547 --> 01:23:07,857
Life comes and goes.
441
01:23:08,717 --> 01:23:13,223
The question remain, from where
it comes. There are many questions.
442
01:23:13,888 --> 01:23:18,598
The formation of the body
from water is explained
443
01:23:19,060 --> 01:23:27,060
by the principle of five oblations:
Faith, Soma,(Moon), Rain, Food, Seed
444
01:23:30,505 --> 01:23:34,544
Give an elaborate explanation
445
01:23:34,743 --> 01:23:39,192
as to where from this eternity
appears and goes.
446
01:23:40,615 --> 01:23:43,425
Does that also mingles
with the elements?
447
01:23:43,985 --> 01:23:45,089
I shall clarify
448
01:23:45,387 --> 01:23:47,867
Every doubts must be cleared.
449
01:23:48,390 --> 01:23:50,097
The answer could be hundreds.
450
01:23:50,525 --> 01:23:54,405
Three elements ultimately
become one with the earth.
451
01:23:54,796 --> 01:24:00,109
Shankaracharya recites a verse
from the "Chandogya Upanishad"
452
01:24:00,702 --> 01:24:04,707
The Heaven is Fire
The Sun, its Fuel
453
01:24:05,073 --> 01:24:08,646
The Rays, its Smoke
The Day, its Flame
454
01:24:09,778 --> 01:24:12,691
The Moon, its Embers
The Stars, its Sparks
455
01:24:13,081 --> 01:24:17,461
Into this Fire the Gods offer
the Oblation of Faith
456
01:24:18,586 --> 01:24:21,658
Out of this, the divine drink,
Soma arises
457
01:24:24,225 --> 01:24:29,299
The Rain God is indeed the Fire,
The Air, its Fuel
458
01:24:30,098 --> 01:24:35,844
The Cloud, its Smoke
The Lightning, its Flame
459
01:24:36,204 --> 01:24:40,380
The Thunderbolt, its Embers
The Thunder its Sparks
460
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:45,949
Into this Fire, the Gods offer
the oblation of Soma
461
01:24:46,347 --> 01:24:50,591
Out of this Oblation, Rain arises
The Earth, its Fire
462
01:24:50,718 --> 01:24:55,690
The Year, its Fuel
The Sky, its Smoke
463
01:24:57,058 --> 01:25:02,667
The Night, its Flame
The Four Directions, its Embers
464
01:25:03,198 --> 01:25:07,738
The Intermediate Directions, its
sparks
465
01:25:07,902 --> 01:25:11,179
Into this Fire, the Gods offer
466
01:25:11,506 --> 01:25:15,454
the Oblation of Rain
Out of this Oblation, arises Food
467
01:25:15,810 --> 01:25:20,725
Man indeed is the Fire
Speech, his Fuel
468
01:25:21,783 --> 01:25:25,526
Breath, his Smoke
Tongue, his Flame
469
01:25:25,653 --> 01:25:30,693
Eyes, his Embers
The Ears, his Sparks
470
01:25:30,892 --> 01:25:35,739
Into this Fire, the Gods offer
the Oblation of Food
471
01:25:35,930 --> 01:25:40,072
Out of this Oblation
the Seed arises
472
01:25:41,636 --> 01:25:49,282
Woman is the Fire
Into this Fire, the Gods offer
473
01:25:51,779 --> 01:25:59,779
the Oblation of the Seed
Out of this Oblation
474
01:26:08,062 --> 01:26:13,740
The Foetus arises
At the fifth Oblation
475
01:26:14,202 --> 01:26:19,345
the Oblation called Water ,
comes to be designated as Man
476
01:26:20,875 --> 01:26:24,618
The Foetus covered with
membrane,
477
01:26:24,779 --> 01:26:29,353
Lies within the mother's womb
478
01:26:29,517 --> 01:26:33,556
Remains for a prescribed time
And then is born
479
01:26:33,621 --> 01:26:36,363
into the world
480
01:26:37,091 --> 01:26:42,905
Very good Go ahead and
complete your work
481
01:26:43,631 --> 01:26:46,237
Make it free of mistakes
482
01:26:47,402 --> 01:26:51,475
When you have doubts, ask the
others
483
01:26:52,006 --> 01:26:55,783
May others write such
commentaries too
484
01:26:55,977 --> 01:27:03,977
Some stay away from the World
Some can never stay free
485
01:27:04,953 --> 01:27:12,953
There are others, too, who stay
in the world, and yet are free
486
01:27:18,900 --> 01:27:20,208
Prayag, Uttar Pradesh
487
01:27:20,335 --> 01:27:21,871
Kumarila, an elder of Shankara
and an authority on Veda rituals..
488
01:27:22,036 --> 01:27:23,174
Is seen immolating himself
489
01:27:23,371 --> 01:27:26,978
Shankara, I am an expert on
orthodoxy and rituals
490
01:27:27,675 --> 01:27:31,487
My aim has been to uphold the
Vedas and to thwart the atheists
491
01:27:32,247 --> 01:27:34,784
I committed a mistake, though
492
01:27:35,383 --> 01:27:38,193
This is the punishment I suffer
493
01:27:38,820 --> 01:27:40,527
Why must you suffer this way ?
494
01:27:40,622 --> 01:27:46,197
I lived incognito among the
Buddhists to learn their philosophy
495
01:27:46,294 --> 01:27:49,275
So I am immolating myself
as an atonement.
496
01:27:49,464 --> 01:27:51,273
WWI. Why so?
497
01:27:52,700 --> 01:27:56,477
Does merely posing does
he become a knowledgeable?
498
01:27:56,938 --> 01:27:59,714
Then I went posing as Bodhist.
499
01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:06,782
My teacher, Dharmapala,
decried the Vedic faith
500
01:28:07,182 --> 01:28:09,992
that those who follow dharma
they surrender to lord
501
01:28:11,286 --> 01:28:15,257
Once Dhranwpal appeared before
him and described the Veda.
502
01:28:15,690 --> 01:28:17,795
Seeker devotee!
503
01:28:18,326 --> 01:28:22,741
My eyes shed involuntary tears
504
01:28:25,300 --> 01:28:28,679
He then knew my true leanings
505
01:28:29,037 --> 01:28:33,008
Knowing that I had cheated them,
the monks pushed me downhill
506
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:50,528
I fell into an abyss and lost
one of my eyes
507
01:28:51,793 --> 01:28:59,793
Had I said, "Eternal Vedas protect
me", no harm would've come to me
508
01:29:02,303 --> 01:29:09,881
But I said, "If the Vedas are eternal,
then no harm will come to me
509
01:29:10,979 --> 01:29:18,193
Veda's proof will it self provide
its proof.
510
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,901
I decided to immolate myself to atone
for sinning against my Teacher
511
01:29:21,956 --> 01:29:26,530
Learned men praise
your commentaries.
512
01:29:26,728 --> 01:29:30,574
Ved daharma is always victorious
513
01:29:30,965 --> 01:29:34,412
Yes, Ved dharma always wins.
514
01:29:35,937 --> 01:29:43,116
Would you kindly enlighten me
on shastras ?
515
01:29:43,845 --> 01:29:47,554
So that my atonement is
achieved.
516
01:29:47,682 --> 01:29:49,958
For this you will have to
take a vow
517
01:29:50,752 --> 01:29:57,260
But then, when dying. Where is
the time to talk to you ?
518
01:29:57,625 --> 01:30:01,732
Master, I have heard ample
praises of you
519
01:30:02,463 --> 01:30:08,209
I highly respect you for
your what you have written
520
01:30:09,070 --> 01:30:13,314
I wish to leave my body
521
01:30:13,841 --> 01:30:17,118
Learned sir, please relent and
stop this immolation
522
01:30:17,312 --> 01:30:23,422
Possible. If it's acceptable in
the meeting of Veda experts
523
01:30:23,618 --> 01:30:31,618
I find you have true knowledge by
which I am at peace and no desire
524
01:31:01,022 --> 01:31:07,667
All my sins are absolved now having
seen you and with your deep meditation
525
01:31:08,596 --> 01:31:12,874
Being your disciple is
the greatest thing
526
01:31:13,301 --> 01:31:18,842
You continue with your
creation and good work
527
01:32:06,187 --> 01:32:14,187
Mahishmati, the banks of
the River Narmada
528
01:32:20,068 --> 01:32:24,881
Shankara looks for the house
of Mandana Misra
529
01:32:50,832 --> 01:32:53,369
Shankara looks for the house
of Mandana Misra
530
01:32:56,003 --> 01:33:00,543
Dear death, don't meet him first
531
01:33:01,509 --> 01:33:05,980
Then there will be no one to
comment on my work
532
01:33:07,748 --> 01:33:12,697
Then there will be no one to
comment on my work
533
01:33:15,123 --> 01:33:18,593
Who know what's in
the future?
534
01:33:28,169 --> 01:33:31,981
Have you taught this to him?
535
01:33:32,540 --> 01:33:34,952
Who has taught him
such great thought
536
01:33:35,676 --> 01:33:37,314
No one taught him.
537
01:33:37,512 --> 01:33:42,484
There is silence here.
Let us look
538
01:33:47,321 --> 01:33:53,499
Welcome to you, divinity
personified
539
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:27,369
What do you want?
540
01:34:28,196 --> 01:34:31,439
I came here to beg for debate,
not for rice
541
01:34:31,532 --> 01:34:34,741
Want to debate as alm!
Great!
542
01:34:36,003 --> 01:34:38,813
Let us eat first
543
01:34:56,824 --> 01:35:00,101
What you say and your deeds
are what you get accordingly
544
01:35:00,161 --> 01:35:02,869
And what is life belongs
to the Agnihotri sect
545
01:35:02,964 --> 01:35:06,104
Deeds and karma are
the ultimate for being
546
01:35:07,268 --> 01:35:11,478
Hail! Hail!
547
01:36:22,710 --> 01:36:27,682
What do you wish ?
- I am hungry
548
01:36:36,691 --> 01:36:37,999
Here take it.
549
01:36:50,171 --> 01:36:53,482
What is the diagram for ?
550
01:36:54,342 --> 01:36:56,288
To ensnare you !
551
01:36:58,446 --> 01:37:04,226
For the comprehension of the truth
and liberator of the society...
552
01:37:04,552 --> 01:37:09,023
He be the victorious! Victorious!
553
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:57,842
Does your parrot like grapes ?
554
01:38:00,107 --> 01:38:01,882
He likes only pepper
555
01:38:02,243 --> 01:38:03,620
He likes it?
556
01:38:06,647 --> 01:38:08,991
Eat these grapes !
They are sweet
557
01:38:09,183 --> 01:38:11,185
Knowledge is the essence of Dharma.
558
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:17,369
Your deeds depend on
your knowledge.
559
01:38:21,295 --> 01:38:24,333
We need enlightenment from you.
560
01:38:24,899 --> 01:38:28,779
Your karma rules your life.
561
01:38:47,955 --> 01:38:52,802
What's your life?
You only love the taste of chilli.
562
01:38:54,395 --> 01:38:57,706
But have you ever tasted grapes?
563
01:39:14,114 --> 01:39:16,958
Sweets and fruits are plenty here
564
01:39:18,152 --> 01:39:23,500
Yet, you prisoner, prefer pepper.
When will you be released ?
565
01:39:24,058 --> 01:39:25,765
When you'll attain your freedom?
566
01:39:26,660 --> 01:39:28,298
Your teachings...
567
01:39:28,829 --> 01:39:32,868
...will forever lead people to
tread on a right path.
568
01:39:33,767 --> 01:39:38,079
Your wisdom shall guide
the society.
569
01:39:38,606 --> 01:39:41,553
Through Karma, I am told
you get salvation
570
01:39:41,709 --> 01:39:43,211
You are right.
571
01:39:43,811 --> 01:39:45,415
But when ?
572
01:39:46,313 --> 01:39:47,553
All right, all right.
573
01:39:47,915 --> 01:39:49,986
See these ants.
574
01:39:50,117 --> 01:39:56,625
How many more births
do they need to be liberated ?
575
01:39:56,957 --> 01:40:00,928
You have a pair of wings and
can fly to heaven if you wish
576
01:40:05,633 --> 01:40:10,480
You need only to emerge from
the cage. Do you want grapes ?
577
01:40:10,604 --> 01:40:17,920
No, I only want to be released.
Please open the cage
578
01:40:19,847 --> 01:40:26,765
Shankara is the sun
of the spiritual sky
579
01:40:34,161 --> 01:40:40,373
Before the rays of knowledge,
the ordinary sun is pale as a moon
580
01:40:51,979 --> 01:40:57,327
Revered sir,
make me your disciple
581
01:40:58,986 --> 01:41:01,091
I accept you. You are Sureshwara
582
01:41:11,131 --> 01:41:16,911
Shankara, the unvanquished scholar,
uncrowned king of the spiritual world
583
01:41:20,608 --> 01:41:22,952
Sir, would you enter into a
debate with me ?
584
01:41:27,348 --> 01:41:35,348
Mother, truth is beyond debate.
It is experienced and not discussed
585
01:41:35,923 --> 01:41:42,363
Let us move away from verbalism
586
01:41:45,866 --> 01:41:50,872
Be our foster Mother and
lead us
587
01:41:50,938 --> 01:41:56,786
May the revered one be
victorious
588
01:42:47,261 --> 01:42:55,261
lam beyond pain and pleasure
589
01:42:59,707 --> 01:43:07,707
Virtue and sin do not touch me
590
01:43:36,310 --> 01:43:39,154
I am supreme knowledge
591
01:43:52,493 --> 01:43:57,772
Why is Vedic religion accepted
only in India ?
592
01:43:58,365 --> 01:44:05,476
India is the home of the Vedas
593
01:44:05,939 --> 01:44:13,939
But knowledge of self is open
to all
594
01:44:16,083 --> 01:44:24,083
Kashmir, Kamarup (Assam ) and
Kanyakumari are the three corners
595
01:44:26,927 --> 01:44:30,431
Varanasi is the centre
596
01:44:30,731 --> 01:44:35,908
India symbolizes the mystic
wheel (Tantric Chakra )
597
01:44:51,151 --> 01:44:58,763
An ode to the mother
598
01:46:17,237 --> 01:46:19,239
Why do you always
laugh at me?
599
01:46:19,306 --> 01:46:22,150
I will leave you now.
I have some work to do
600
01:47:06,086 --> 01:47:12,765
The sun in the sky, and Shankara
in my heart, are both memorable
601
01:47:13,260 --> 01:47:16,969
The atmosphere is calm
and peaceful
602
01:47:18,799 --> 01:47:23,839
This is Sringeri and
the Thunga river
603
01:50:22,082 --> 01:50:25,188
Buddhists stopped
animal sacrifices
604
01:50:25,685 --> 01:50:30,566
These ritualists offer
flowers as sacrifice
605
01:50:31,324 --> 01:50:36,103
How does one put an end to it ?
606
01:50:37,664 --> 01:50:41,407
You have realised the futility
of rituals
607
01:50:41,968 --> 01:50:44,073
You are truly enlightened
608
01:50:44,738 --> 01:50:49,812
I would be delighted if you
commented on my work.
609
01:50:50,377 --> 01:50:52,015
Yes, delighted
610
01:51:03,290 --> 01:51:06,601
All of you come.
611
01:51:33,787 --> 01:51:36,825
Come. Food is ready
612
01:51:58,345 --> 01:52:03,090
Why is it none of you wants
to eat ?
613
01:52:26,006 --> 01:52:30,580
Why are you not accepting
her offering?
614
01:52:32,545 --> 01:52:36,254
They resent Sureshwara
commenting on your work
615
01:52:37,717 --> 01:52:41,164
True. They are not happy
about it
616
01:52:42,055 --> 01:52:45,127
Why this envy?
Why unnecessarily harass?
617
01:52:46,092 --> 01:52:49,505
Hastamalakais a better scholar
618
01:52:55,001 --> 01:52:59,746
Experience is more important
619
01:52:59,939 --> 01:53:03,216
Do you still carry old grudges?
620
01:53:04,811 --> 01:53:07,792
Padmapada is better qualified
between you four...
621
01:53:53,660 --> 01:54:01,660
If all four aren't of the same
thought and voice...
622
01:54:03,370 --> 01:54:10,481
what chance is there for Vedic
thought to spread?
623
01:54:58,324 --> 01:55:02,773
Our ancestors were liberal in
thought
624
01:55:02,829 --> 01:55:08,802
Due to them, Vedas were
preserved
625
01:55:08,902 --> 01:55:15,979
Philosophy will perish soon if
people quarrel among themselves
626
01:55:46,973 --> 01:55:49,510
Let Padmapada undertake the task
627
01:55:53,413 --> 01:55:55,586
You can give me that task
628
01:55:57,584 --> 01:56:00,155
Why?
Why do you want to do this?
629
01:56:00,253 --> 01:56:04,167
Pardon us. Let Sureshwara
write
630
01:56:08,428 --> 01:56:11,068
Master, kindly tell us
631
01:56:11,264 --> 01:56:15,076
My decision is final. Write yourself
632
01:56:21,541 --> 01:56:26,513
We crave your pardon.
We were jealous
633
01:56:27,413 --> 01:56:31,225
We should see that the Vedic
religion is kept alive
634
01:56:33,586 --> 01:56:36,089
Let us go and eat
635
02:01:10,930 --> 02:01:17,176
I intend sending Padmapada...
636
02:01:17,770 --> 02:01:21,912
Hastamalaka, Totaka and
Sureshwara...
637
02:01:22,842 --> 02:01:26,380
to the four corners of India to
propagate monism
638
02:01:26,779 --> 02:01:34,779
Where should they go ?
- Dwarka, Badri, Puri & Sringeri
639
02:01:35,454 --> 02:01:37,934
Yes, kindly have your meals
at leisure.
640
02:01:38,457 --> 02:01:41,870
After that kindly come to my house
641
02:01:43,830 --> 02:01:45,275
else where is a place to rest for you
642
02:01:45,498 --> 02:01:49,537
The whole world is my land.
Where the sun sets will be my home
643
02:01:55,708 --> 02:01:56,880
Where I am supposed to be ?
644
02:01:56,976 --> 02:02:04,976
You are Sharada in Sringeri,
Kamakshi in Kanchipuram...
645
02:02:05,985 --> 02:02:11,298
and Annapurna in Banares
646
02:02:12,124 --> 02:02:14,968
I will follow you everywhere
647
02:02:22,535 --> 02:02:24,947
What is it ?
648
02:02:25,238 --> 02:02:32,622
I just remembered my Mother.
lam going to see her
649
02:03:20,793 --> 02:03:26,402
Hurry! Shankara is coming to
see his Mother
650
02:03:27,934 --> 02:03:29,709
Move away.
651
02:03:30,202 --> 02:03:33,046
Shankara has come to meet
with his mother after so long
652
02:03:34,006 --> 02:03:38,011
Shankara is here!
- Shankar is coming!
653
02:03:58,597 --> 02:04:02,340
How is she? - Not much time.
She is only for you
654
02:04:18,751 --> 02:04:19,923
Mother...
655
02:04:25,624 --> 02:04:27,262
lam your Shankara here.
656
02:05:37,063 --> 02:05:40,374
It was her affection towards
the son that she was alive till now.
657
02:05:51,777 --> 02:05:55,224
Prepare for the funeral
658
02:05:56,182 --> 02:05:59,095
A monk is not allowed to
perform funeral rites
659
02:06:01,587 --> 02:06:05,592
But I had promised her
- She waited for her beloved son
660
02:06:05,758 --> 02:06:11,504
It is against accepted tradition
- I do not care for tradition
661
02:06:14,066 --> 02:06:18,173
You look down on tradition.
You are excommunicated
662
02:06:18,237 --> 02:06:24,244
Yes, excommunicate!
- Excommunicate!
663
02:06:57,109 --> 02:07:00,488
Mother doesn't remain
664
02:07:02,281 --> 02:07:05,694
Father does not remain
665
02:07:06,952 --> 02:07:12,129
Neither the siblings and friends
remain
666
02:07:13,659 --> 02:07:21,659
Nothing remains.
Awaken, awaken.
667
02:08:18,190 --> 02:08:22,002
Whatever is here isn't permanent
668
02:08:26,365 --> 02:08:30,871
True. Nothing remains with us
669
02:08:31,837 --> 02:08:36,252
Man endeavors his best
but all is mortal
670
02:08:43,616 --> 02:08:48,395
Now starts my real journey to make
the masses shed their ignorance
671
02:08:49,021 --> 02:08:50,728
Kanyakumari, Southernmost India
672
02:08:50,823 --> 02:08:58,537
Prayer to Goddess Kanyakumari
673
02:09:33,432 --> 02:09:37,642
Kanchipuram, South India
674
02:10:26,919 --> 02:10:29,331
What use are gestures ?
675
02:10:30,756 --> 02:10:38,756
To a detached mind,
knowledge is all
676
02:11:32,851 --> 02:11:35,832
If you don't have the faith
677
02:11:36,388 --> 02:11:39,892
than how can you
comment on faith
678
02:11:40,192 --> 02:11:44,072
Belief and faith are
to be nurtured and cared for.
679
02:11:44,329 --> 02:11:51,076
If we ignore our soul
the lord punishes us.
680
02:11:51,437 --> 02:11:54,418
I have learnt and
experience
681
02:11:55,040 --> 02:12:00,149
there is nothing but the
only and ultimate truth
682
02:12:38,584 --> 02:12:46,584
What is the prince doing here.
683
02:12:47,226 --> 02:12:51,504
Come lets find out
684
02:13:01,907 --> 02:13:07,289
Lord, kindly accept my daughter
and reveal the secret of life
685
02:13:09,748 --> 02:13:14,288
I have come to conclusion
those who look decent
686
02:13:14,686 --> 02:13:18,634
they are devious and they make
knowledge as their business
687
02:13:18,924 --> 02:13:24,340
It should not be happen parting
of knowledge can't be for money
688
02:13:26,899 --> 02:13:31,973
I you get real knowledge
it reflects on your face
689
02:13:32,437 --> 02:13:36,852
And your future becomes
so fruitful
690
02:13:37,609 --> 02:13:42,388
And you'd acquire power
from your soul and life
691
02:13:43,015 --> 02:13:46,553
If you want to be happy
give your all for knowledge
692
02:13:47,419 --> 02:13:51,925
Open your inner eyes and soul
693
02:13:52,491 --> 02:13:55,961
And to acquire it you have to keep
eyes, ears and heart and soul open
694
02:13:57,229 --> 02:14:02,178
If wise men become cheats the
world will be doomed
695
02:14:02,501 --> 02:14:05,675
Nothing will be left
696
02:15:37,763 --> 02:15:39,174
Sir, who are you ?
697
02:15:39,364 --> 02:15:40,741
lam a worshiper of Bhairavi
698
02:15:52,911 --> 02:15:54,015
What do you want ?
699
02:15:54,112 --> 02:15:56,752
Human sacrifice was offered to
this Goddess
700
02:15:56,815 --> 02:15:59,489
If I do it I will be immortal
and rule the world.
701
02:15:59,718 --> 02:16:01,959
No. How could it be?
702
02:16:02,387 --> 02:16:05,857
I will have the blessing
of immortality
703
02:16:06,191 --> 02:16:07,397
What's the purpose?
704
02:16:07,559 --> 02:16:10,096
I will please Goddess Kali
by the sacrificing you
705
02:16:10,462 --> 02:16:13,409
This act will lead me to heaven
706
02:16:13,732 --> 02:16:16,576
And this will be achievement
707
02:17:27,305 --> 02:17:29,581
I sought your body in sacrifice
708
02:17:29,941 --> 02:17:32,114
And it's me who is sacrificed
709
02:17:41,987 --> 02:17:48,336
Shankara prays to the Goddess.
Your wish will be fulfilled.
710
02:18:22,060 --> 02:18:25,269
Shankara is Somnath
711
02:19:00,498 --> 02:19:04,844
Narmada River, Marble rocks
712
02:19:18,149 --> 02:19:22,222
Prayag, Uttar Pradesh
713
02:19:40,205 --> 02:19:44,381
Banaras, Uttar Pradesh
714
02:20:02,227 --> 02:20:04,605
Devaprayag, Himalayas
715
02:20:04,829 --> 02:20:08,971
See how our Teacher hides his
ill-health from us !
716
02:20:12,671 --> 02:20:18,713
He never rests...always
absorbed in his thoughts & work
717
02:20:19,377 --> 02:20:20,981
It's mentioned in epics
718
02:20:21,613 --> 02:20:27,359
He travels endlessly.
No wonder he is ill
719
02:20:29,487 --> 02:20:37,487
Let me request him to rest.
We will undertake his work
720
02:20:39,297 --> 02:20:42,608
As you have to depart ultimately,
then why do all this?
721
02:20:44,135 --> 02:20:49,312
Nothing bothers him.
He cares for nothing
722
02:21:08,526 --> 02:21:11,200
Why do you laugh?
723
02:21:11,730 --> 02:21:13,607
What it is that is making you laugh?
724
02:21:14,199 --> 02:21:15,678
It's so strange...
725
02:21:16,301 --> 02:21:23,515
You, the destroyer, want to protect
me ! The strangeness of it!
726
02:21:25,610 --> 02:21:27,180
Have to leave it all
727
02:21:27,979 --> 02:21:34,794
You don't care for your health.
But you should think of others
728
02:21:35,353 --> 02:21:40,826
Humanity needs you; several things
are to be accomplished by you
729
02:21:41,192 --> 02:21:43,672
Please drink this milk
730
02:23:16,888 --> 02:23:19,198
Why and what for your doing it?
731
02:23:19,824 --> 02:23:23,328
Do not leave us destitute !
732
02:23:23,495 --> 02:23:25,907
If you leave, we will be destitute
733
02:23:28,199 --> 02:23:30,110
Nothing is within our control
734
02:23:30,668 --> 02:23:33,012
The warmth is only in he lap
of mother
735
02:23:33,972 --> 02:23:39,718
I am alright !
Let me bathe in the Ganges
736
02:23:47,819 --> 02:23:49,526
Please do not go
737
02:24:26,958 --> 02:24:31,236
Your forehead is
the crescent moon
738
02:24:31,329 --> 02:24:35,209
A hymn in praise of Ganga
739
02:25:08,132 --> 02:25:14,606
Ganga, dear daughter
of the Himalayas
740
02:25:15,139 --> 02:25:20,817
This pure water is the milk of
your breasts
741
02:25:21,212 --> 02:25:26,321
You nourish this one
742
02:25:28,119 --> 02:25:35,662
your child from the South
743
02:25:37,762 --> 02:25:43,303
He's great among the greatest
744
02:25:52,343 --> 02:25:57,258
Despite the teaching things
went waste
745
02:25:58,716 --> 02:26:04,325
Arise, let the drums beat the
glory of Monism
746
02:27:47,125 --> 02:27:52,336
Shankara, you are at the top.
ls there more to be achieved ?
747
02:27:54,232 --> 02:27:59,011
I have achieved knowledge.
748
02:28:00,004 --> 02:28:05,078
Some are torn by worldly sorrows
749
02:28:05,977 --> 02:28:13,977
May they realize their true self.
And be relieved of their burden
750
02:28:19,457 --> 02:28:24,031
Amazing self-realization
751
02:28:26,297 --> 02:28:29,471
Your philosophy is subtle and
complicated
752
02:28:29,901 --> 02:28:33,872
Only through divine grace
that comes through devotion...
753
02:28:34,906 --> 02:28:39,412
can one understand Monism ?
754
02:28:41,179 --> 02:28:45,457
O God kindly bless your devotee
755
02:28:46,484 --> 02:28:50,728
Why are you testing us?
756
02:28:51,622 --> 02:28:57,004
I pray that everyone attains
true knowledge of his self
757
02:28:57,295 --> 02:29:02,677
Now, my time has come
758
02:29:03,801 --> 02:29:09,774
lam the Universal Soul,
supreme, eternal, and blissful
759
02:29:10,007 --> 02:29:14,615
I know you are fearless, but I
am human, let me go away!
760
02:29:24,555 --> 02:29:30,972
Wisdom, see the ice and
flowing water
761
02:29:31,362 --> 02:29:34,536
If you look otherwise
they are only stones
762
02:29:34,832 --> 02:29:39,713
This is the one truth;
the doctrine of non-dualism
763
02:29:40,037 --> 02:29:42,483
True,That's the ultimate truth
764
02:29:42,874 --> 02:29:50,874
The Inner Self and the Universal Self
are one and the same
765
02:29:55,553 --> 02:29:59,057
Death, come join me.
You are ever with me
766
02:29:59,490 --> 02:30:03,370
Please don't hesitate.
Death, embrace me
767
02:30:04,228 --> 02:30:11,009
He who has no attachments is
verily the Self, the Universal Self
768
02:30:12,103 --> 02:30:18,520
Acharya! Acharaya!
769
02:30:18,743 --> 02:30:21,053
Acharya!
770
02:30:22,046 --> 02:30:23,992
What are you thinking?
771
02:30:24,215 --> 02:30:27,753
My great master had given
me knowledge here
772
02:30:28,352 --> 02:30:30,696
He is enshrined here
773
02:30:34,458 --> 02:30:41,967
Any one who comprehends
this secret...
774
02:30:42,533 --> 02:30:47,505
and communicates it to my
brethren...
775
02:31:04,088 --> 02:31:08,332
I accept all the religions
776
02:31:08,893 --> 02:31:10,634
and all the god's elements
777
02:31:10,795 --> 02:31:15,540
Always with my pure and devoted
free soul I surrender to you
778
02:31:36,320 --> 02:31:42,532
He who has no attachments is
verily the Self, the Universal Self
779
02:31:43,728 --> 02:31:47,733
Anyone who comprehends
this secret
780
02:31:48,332 --> 02:31:53,213
and communicates it to my
brethren
781
02:31:53,971 --> 02:32:01,971
Pride, power, desires, lust
and anger you should renunciate
782
02:32:02,780 --> 02:32:06,660
...then only we shall have
the total peace and
783
02:32:07,385 --> 02:32:11,265
will become One with lord
784
02:32:12,189 --> 02:32:14,635
Entrancing, captivating
785
02:32:15,292 --> 02:32:17,294
Blissful
786
02:32:18,162 --> 02:32:22,133
Omnipresent, all encompassing
787
02:32:41,919 --> 02:32:49,919
As the water flowing from
the sky reaches the sea
788
02:32:53,164 --> 02:33:01,164
As the water flowing from
the sky reaches the sea
789
02:33:04,241 --> 02:33:12,241
As the water flowing from
the sky reaches the sea
790
02:33:15,152 --> 02:33:19,623
That (Universal Self) is infinite
& this (Individual Self) is infinite
791
02:33:19,690 --> 02:33:24,230
The Individual Self proceeds
from the Universal
792
02:33:24,862 --> 02:33:28,969
Both continue to be Infinite
793
02:33:29,800 --> 02:33:34,306
Let there be peace everywhere
794
02:33:35,106 --> 02:33:40,454
Let the peace prevail
