CREEDS OF OUR TIMES

The film is an unconventional biography about Paramahansa Yogananda who authored “Autobiography of a Yogi”. By personalising his own quest for enlightenment and sharing his struggles along the path, Yogananda made ancient Vedic teachings accessible to a modern audience, attracting many followers and inspiring millions to practice yoga today. Filmed over three years and at 30 countries, the documentary examines the world of yoga, modern and ancient, east and west and explores why millions today have turned their attention inwards, bucking the limitations of the material world in pursuit of self-realisation.
