The #essence of the Stotra
The #universe is complete and indestructible, in-exhaustible, and #eternal. With the destruction of something, something else is born, and thus the universe remains everlasting and constant. The universe is Swayambhu, born out of itself. It is the source of everything, it is omnipotent and omnipresent. Everything born out of this universe is complete and perfect.

The completeness of the universe exists in us too. We too are born out of this universe and what exits in the universe exists in us too. It is by this realization, we can achieve the realisation of God, transform ourselves from our mortal presence into Godliness. Every object of the universe and Nature has come from one common source, the #Universal #Consciousness of #God.

The essence of this stotra – Om Purnamadah Purnamidam, is reflected in the various stotras from Hindu Puranas, Vedas, Upanishads and the ultimate decisions of Vedanta. Sarvam Khalvidam Brahma, Ekoham Bahushyam, Aham Brahmasmi. These teachings of our Hindu Shastras – Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas, Vedas, Upanishads, are reflected in the divine words of Dadaji Maharaj. The spiritual teachings and realizations of Dadaji Maharaj, in very simple words, reveal the ultimate knowledge of our Shastras.

One of our self-funded films is ‘ #Narmada, the #eternal #river’. Originating at #Amarkantak in #MadhyaPradesh, the #River-Narmada flows for about 1300 kilometers from east to west through the gorge between the Vindhya and the Satpura mountain ranges and merges into the sea near Khambat Sagar at Gadurreswar in #Gujarat.

This valley was formed by the struggle of active land parts of the #Precambrian era, along with the remains of primitive sea creatures and #dinosaurs.

For this reason, the Narmada has been considered the #oldest river in #India.

Along with the evidence of the presence of early #StoneAge #humans in the #caves of the valley, the continuous presence of numerous ancient #Sanatana sites situated on the banks of the river narrates the story of the continuous cooperation of this river in the development of India.

In this short documentary, made under the guidance of Shri Samanand Ji from the Saptmatrika temple of #Maheshwar in Madhya Pradesh, we have tried to showcase the enigmatic story of this eternal river from the geological, anthropological, and cultural points of view.

More importantly, the video is an informative and spiritual look at the Narmada River, one of the most #sacred rivers in India. The video begins with a montage of images of the river, from its source in the Vindhya Mountains to its confluence with the Arabian Sea. The voiceover then introduces the river's history and significance and discusses its importance to the cultures of Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat.

The video then goes on to explore the river's natural beauty, from its lush forests to its pristine waterfalls. A few original audio tracks and numbers make this video more attractive. The video also features interviews with people who live along the river and share their stories and insights about the river's importance to their lives. Insights shared by some spiritually accomplished personalities enhanced the knowledge value of the video.

The video also unfolds the importance of Narmada Parikrama, which is a spiritual journey that involves the circumambulation of the Narmada River, a 3000-kilometre route, on foot, leaving behind all belongings and economic means! The #journey is said to be a way to cleanse oneself of sin and attain #moksha, or #liberation.

The short documentary had been selected for official screening at the Mahakaushal Short & #Documentary #Film Festival and later was awarded the best documentary award upon its showcasing at the Shaheed Smarak Auditorium, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, on 18th December, #2022!
