Movie Screening - 'True World of Mantra’

Possibly the first ever in-depth documentary about the ancient science of sound, this film explores the wisdom and application of Mantra — a profound knowledge preserved by the sages of India since millennia. An illuminating journey showing how the science of Mantra correctly used can influence positively human physiology and psychology. Precious testimonies reveal how sound is capable of transforming the inner and outer life, in both practical and subtle ways, until its ultimate purpose, that of elevating human consciousness. The film also brings light into what does not belong to the tradition of Mantra, a point which has brought much disorientation to those unfamiliar with the cultural heritage from India.
