More Details - Based on the life of one of the greatest thinkers the Indian sub-continent has ever known, Adi Shankaracharya is a stunning achievement in the annals of world cinema. It is also the ONLY film ever made in the classical Sanskrit language. By the 8th century, Hinduism had become a slave to Brahmin cults rather than as the all-embracing philosophy of mankind that it was originally conceived as and was theologically challenged by other belief systems including Buddhism. It was into this scenario that Shankaracharya was born. In a quest to broaden his knowlegde, he renowned the world and set out on a life and mind-affirming journey with death and wisdom as his twin companions. On the way he wrote several commentaries that have changed the way mankind looks at religion and theism and the eternal quest for inner truth. Today there are several centres across the world devoted to the propagation of Shankaracharya's teachings.
