Movie Reviews of Naked In Ashes
Movie Review: Soul Stirring Inspiration
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for in depth information on the practice of Puja, Dhyana, Pranayama, Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc... you will have to look else where. Likewise if your only experience with Yoga has been at the local recreation center or YMCA you may be disappointed.
If you are interested in Yoga as a Mystical Religion, then this film will absolutely uplift your soul and inspire you to new heights within your own spiritual practice. It offers a rare darshan for Western Yogis living a long way from the shores of India.
This film will share with you the very heart of Yoga and give you a glimpse into the life style of the Naga Babas. You will meet many Yogis and even a Yogini, here are a few quotes;
"You can not become a Yogi by wearing some robes, you can not become a Yogi by just wanting to be one, you can only become a Yogi by the mercy of the Lord."
"The life of a Sadhu is meant for doing good to other living beings."
"You will not see God through these eyes, the third eye will open through Yoga."
"It is a saints duty to try to attract people to the good and try to help overcome evil."
"All prayer is beneficial"
"You Can Find God."
"We do get donations but we try to live our lives as simply as possible, when we do have money as often as we spend it we give it away."
"By doing all these Yoga Asanas I attract people and then I preach to them."
I highly recommend this film to all Western Yogis.
Aum Namah Shivaya
Movie Review: "From Darkness Into Light" ~ Yogis, Sadhus, Gurus & Sages, Vessels Of God In This Dark Age
Summary: 5 Stars
The recently released film documentary `Naked In Ashes' directed by Paula Fouce is an absolutely breathtaking up close and personal look into the hearts and minds of the modern day Holy Men of India. Travel up and down the River Ganges and meet a variety of yogis, sadhus, gurus and sages as they dispense wisdom and forgiveness to mankind by performing austerities and rituals in an effort to combat the current dark age known as the Kali Yuga.
I simply cannot say enough good things about this amazing production. The urban and rural cinematography is gorgeous, the interviews are insightful and filled with wisdom, and the camera positioning is so close you feel as though you're on the spiritual journey as a participant, not a viewer.
An added and unexpected plus in this documentary are some pointed, timely, possibly prophetic comments concerning the political climate of the country, the ongoing impact of the Kali Yuga on present day spirituality and the envisioned decline of ascetic life in India in the next fifty years. These insights interspersed here and there amongst the wonderful spiritual teachings conveyed in this film make 'Naked In Ashes' a truly intelligent, accessible, unique and important documentary.
The film also contains a mesmerizing Indian soundtrack that adds intensity and wonder to the already exotic atmosphere.
My Highest Recommendation!
Movie Review: A must-see for anyone interested in Yoga and beyond.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Teaching yoga these days in the "west", can be a challenge for a true Yogi. People want to simply do their Yoga-workout. Not many wonder how the Yogis of India live and do their routine...
I just had to find out... because when you learn what the real Yogis of India do, how they do their yoga and meditation and how they give up worldly things, and more... I mean, they do things, some of us would never...and it may seem very extreme...
Yet one thing is clear....they have discipline...something most of us do not have anymore....
I can only recommend to watch this film... and also "Origins Of Yoga" (which is more about where Yoga came from)... Both these films will make you think...If you are into yoga, even just a little...or into countries like India, or into spiritual things, history, etc... You gotta get it and watch it.. it's well worth it, it's informative...the picture quality is outstanding...such deep beautiful colors....and the music is very beautiful and fits so perfectly.... It's def. on my list of must-see films....and it's def. one of my favorite documentaries.....
Movie Review: Fascinating and inspiring...
Summary: 5 Stars
While this documentary was not quite what I had expected, I was intrigued, inspired and amazed by this group of wandering yogis. When I ordered it, I thought it would cover a more varied experience of individuals and territory. Though this film covers a small spiritual group of men in one particular area - magnify this in your mind, if you can, to 13 million. India is a country of one billion people! Of these, there are at least 13 million holy people who have devoted themselves entirely to the Divine! and each day whether they eat or do not eat, where they lay their heads - all is relied upon Divine gift and the generosity of fellow believers. It is a beautiful film and deeply touching.
There is so much detail in this film, it should be watched several times I feel. Also, I would venture to recommend it to those who have some degree of familiarity with Indian religions, esp. Hindu (even if the familiarity is only slight, it would give a better basis for understanding what the film portrays).
Movie Review: Do Not Miss This Incredible Documentary!
Summary: 5 Stars
Paula Fouce's outstanding documentary allows us to observe the fascinating mystical lives of the holy men of India and Nepal. The viewer is taken on a divine journey of ancient ceremonies, traditions, insight and adventure. Do not miss "Naked in Ashes."
