Shot in 70mm IMAX format, this movie opens at the Houston Museum of

Natural Science on April 30th.

 

Quote from article at Hinduism today:

 

Set in 18th-century India, the film traces the path of 11-year-old

Neelkanth (played by 10-year-old Latesh Patel), who, leaving his home

town of Ayodhya in Northern India, traverses barefoot and alone 8,000

miles over India's often treacherous terrain without food or money in

hand. Neelkanth's journey from 1792 to 1799 is one of steely resolve and

survival against all odds.

 

When he reaches Muktinath, where an ancient temple of Lord Vishnu stands

surrounded by 108 waterspouts (pictured below), Neelkanth performs

severe yogic austerities, undeterred by adverse weather conditions. He

grows up to become a great Hindu spiritual leader, Bhagwan Swaminarayan,

founder of the movement that today bears his name.
