Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 There's a very good movie/video put out about St. John of the Cross at http://www.stlukeproductions.com/. It's very good, and very Bhakti-related. The audio cassette of the same play (haven't seen it in person yet) isn't as good. St. John of the Cross's sublime poem "Dark Night of the Soul" and his commentary is very valuable to a seeker. I like how he describes that a certain point a person will surround themselves with all kinds of (rare or special) religious items. When I first got serious, I got rid of many worldly items (CD's etc.) and hung only spiritual pictures on the wall and all. Then got simpler from there. I've met people who were tons of malas or other extravagances or seek rare relics, etc. Unfortunately, some people stagnate at that point. tom Ammachi, "Ananthasree" <ananthasree wrote: > > Namah Shivayah, > > Just wanted to share this powerful piece.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi Tom, Thanks for the referral to this film. In fact, I had been scouring the Internet trying to find a documentary on his life. Ditto on all points below. Jai MA~~~ Anantha Ammachi, "Tom" <tomgull wrote: > > There's a very good movie/video put out about St. John of the Cross > at http://www.stlukeproductions.com/.
