During a number of sessions, I had the privilege of watching the entire "India's Book of Wisdom: The Bhagavata Purana." The genre is that of an art film - mood and style reveal substance. The "culture of the Bhagavatam" is the hero of this story. We get bits and pieces of it , particularly dance, art, and music, throughout the movie. Philosophy mostly sits in the background while sentiments of bhakti take center stage. The approach of the female director is studied, deliberate, methodical, and revelatory - a gentle, feminine touch that is both confident and reassuring. There are no attempts at dramatic punctuations or three act structures. This is a path of discovery for both the host and audience. There is not much pretense in Krishna Ksetra Swami's role as the inquiring host. His humble nature immediately puts the viewer at ease, and he is a credible ally in a mutual journey despite the fact that we know that he knows where this is all going. Actually, I wasn't sure at times where the wandering was leading. It picks up speed as it proceeds and finally crescendos in the final twenty minutes to a predictable, yet satisfying, conclusion. We get the transcendental logic in bits and pieces which complete the puzzle as the theme progresses. Krishna is seen increasingly as the source of the light of the Bhagavat - as it should be. What binds this patchwork of cultural mileux's together is a superb score by Kai Engel. He provides the waves upon which we undulate and move toward the shore. The director, Inci Mutlu, has obviously understood not only the profundity of the Srimad Bhagavatam, but it's potential to liberate the soul. Main cinematographer, Filip Gour, has a sensitive and creative eye that takes its time to ponder, reflect, and contemplate. The entire presentation is a meditation that can elevate and inspire. Thanks to all involved; they should be very gratified with the result. YS, Nrsimhananda das
Thank you, Nrsimhananda das. Knowing of your own professional involvement in filmmaking, we cherish your encouraging words, based on attentive engagement with the film. We just hope that this film presentation will serve to call more attention to and interest in reading the Srimad Bhagavatam! Kenneth R.Valpey
The fact that this wonderful documentary is offered to the public as a free service is a powerful testament to the nature of Krishna bhakti. The river of transcendent transformation and spiritual love runs swift and deep throughout the entire presentation. The heart cannot help but be touched and the intelligence be piqued by such a documentary saturated by devotion. Krishna as the Supreme Personality is infinitely more accessible through the realizations and demonstrations of bhakti by the host and all of the contributors.
Dear Nrsimhananda Das, Thank you so much for your heartfelt message that deeply touched us. I am inci Mutlu, the director of the movie. Dr. Kenneth Valpey, read your message as well and he personally wrote me that you are also movie producer. Yes, that’s correct, I am touched by the fact that you’ve noticed that we didn’t try to sell or rent the movie in dvd format or online. And to not to loose time to bring the documentary to a wider audience, we also didn’t apply to any festival or try to get this sort of recognition from the industry. After the post-production we immediately published and presented the movie to the public as a service. The documentary is been made with almost no budget. Contributors are volunteers and just for the kickstart we get some donations from friends and students of Dr. Valpey who believed in the project for the basic travel, equipment, operator and hotel expenses. We are very grateful for your kind message which translates our feelings into words during the process of the movie making. I wish you all the best in your upcoming project. With kind regards,--inci mutlu
Thank you so much, this documentary is Vaikuntha itself, everyone who spoke or was filmed were all original devotees of lord krishna , iam so grat3ful right now , eyes red with overflowing teardrops. I went totally ecstatic when the cutie baby girl recited the bagavatm in flawless Sanskrit. Hare krishna to infinity. The Absolute Truth. 🙏♨
Bhagavata means BHA means Bhakti (Devotion) GA means Jnaana (knowledge)VA means Vairaagya ( Renunciation) TA means Tatwa means (God's element).This is BHAGVATA to know about supreme power of God's theory.
Thank you for your comment. Yes, Bhagavata Purana consists of 18.000 verses. Although The Bhagavata Purana is the basis of Hinduism, the book is not belong to one religion or sect. The Bhagavata Purana is for the humanity and belong to the world literature. The poetry, philosophy and the teachings could be adopted by anyone.

We wish you all the best and thank you for watching our documentary.
What a refreshing angle to look at the Bhāgavatam - as a source of inspiration to so many spiritual and artistic pursuits. Though in close touch with the Bhāgavatam for the last 20 years, after watching the film I'm inspired to dive into it yet again and discover more and more of its hidden treasure. Thanks to the creators of this wonderful documentary, and especially to Dr.Kenneth Valpey for being such a wonderful guide.

When I saw the trailer months ago I got very excited to see a documentary about this wonderful book but I was not too expectant due the pandemics and soon I forgot about it. So days ago I had the sudden and inexplicable desire of searching for it on youtube and became very surprised and glad to see the full version already posted. Thank you very much!!!
Completely fascinating, captivating. Blessed by this flabbergasting production on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. Thanks to all of the team that made it possible and may many others like this be launched often.
Nicely done video! Perhaps consider a future documentary on Shiva Purana? Or might anyone know of a Shiva Purana documentary to recommend? Again, very nicely done!
Thank you for your kind encouragement. If and when the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies* develops a program in Shaiva Studies, it could very well happen that such a documentary could be made. *see the OCHS website for its current research projects: www.ochs.org.uk
Words cannot express my joy watching this documentary. Every word of the Bhagavatam came flooding back to me and filling me with love for God! Thank you for this timeless and valuable presentation! Hare Krishna!
@@BhagavataPuranaResearchProject I’m so blessed to have found Krishna later in life, in a western culture, because Krishna has become a supreme gift, a true savior! Like He travelled all the way to rescue me and my family! Jai Srila Prabhupada thank you for giving us love of Krishna!
Hare Krsna dear Inci, what an incredible project and service to truly help and support every single soul rise above their limited and imprisoning identity as these temporary bodies to understand they are something much much greater, an eternal soul that has an eternal spiritual body that belongs in a community of pure spiritual beings known as the spiritual world, home! Thank you so much for aiding our journey back home, back to pure happiness, pure relationships with both God and other souls. :) :)
Dear Inci, dear soul to write a few words is easy but to do what you have done is the real manifestation of love. To move from cheap words or ideas into action that really touches, influences and helps conditioned souls is the greatest service and greatest example for all conscious beings. Thank you Thank you dear Inci for manifesting your love for us and God, Krsna. Hare Krsna :)
All the glories are for our teachers, for our masters, for our acharyas. We are only little followers. Thank you for your merciful blessings. Please kindly keep us in your prayers.
I am very excited to share my experiences during and after listening to this teachings. The whole team involved spread pure love care joy. How can this teachings reach my country & schools. I willing to a volunteer in spreading truth. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤.
Very informative and well-made documentary, I hope to see more documentaries like these from the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, maybe on Bhagavad Gītā next!
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Well, let's hope that it will be done in the future. Here is the website of Bhagavata Purana Reserach project: www.bhagavatapurana.org
Yes, indeed. Thank you for your question. The Bhagavata Purana featured in this documentary is Srimad Bhagavatam - BBT ( Bhaktivedanta Book Trust) with the purport of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada and you can find here: bbt.org/books. The Bhagavatam set consists of 18 Volumes, Cantos 1-12. In each book there are many art works related with the topics. The art book which contains selected paintings from Srimad Bhagavatam is also featured in this documentary mainly and the name is "Krishna Art" by BBT, A3 size book with high printing quality which you can also find online.
Thank you very much. It took 4 years to complete all the documentary and sub-movies. You can view the uncut version of the each interview of the documentary here in this channel.
Thank you for your question. From blservices.com/ you can purchase Srimad Bhagavatam Canto 1-12 with the translation and purport of A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada of Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT). Also you may purchase Bhagavata Purana: Selected Readings from Colombia University Press. I hope this may help. cup.columbia.edu/search-results?keyword=selected+readings+bhagavata+purana
I posted this same question on the trailer for this documentary. My question is, can anyone recommend a complete English translation of Bhagavat Purana that is not published by ISKCON? I appreciate all suggestions. Thank you 🙏
There is a recent complete translation of the Bhagavata Purana verses only, no commentary by Bibek Debroy, published by Penguin-India, in three volumes. I hope this will help.
@@BhagavataPuranaResearchProject thank you very much for your reply and for your suggestion. Also, great job on a great documentary! I’ve recently discovered a complete translation by Swami Tapasyananda, published by the RamaKrishna Society. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a 4 volume set with Sanskrit, English translation, and commentary. I have more research to do and so I will definitely check out your recommendation as well. Thank you again for your reply 🙏
@@Atomic419 Thank you for your kind comments. We also would like to note here that the Bhagavata Purana that we recommed is the Srimad Bhagavatam with the translation and purport of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada. Please kindly don't forget to visit us at www.bhagavatapurana.org, the website of Bhagavata Purana Research Project of Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies where you can read many publications by academicians and you may find recommended books about the scripture. We wish you all the best in your journey. Thank you again.
@@Atomic419 Hare Krishna. Why do you not want to read ISKCON book written by Srila Prabhupada? If you want to read about Sri Krishna you must read from the best devotee of Sri Krishna. This is simple sense. ISKCON devotees are addicted to Sri Krishna and only they can best speak of Sri Krishna. I am writing this because your comments are confusing!!
@@ishtadevdamodardashk5558 thank you for your comment. I have read many ISKCON books written by Bhaktivedanta Swami including his translation of Bhagavad Gita and first Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. I have also studied Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahma Sutras with commentaries from different swami's representing different sampradayas. With that said, and to be honest and as polite as possible, I will just say that Bhaktivedanta Swami is great if you are a Hare Krsna, or if you interpret all scripture literally and fundamentally as ISKCON does. However, if you are not a Hare Krsna, or if you are not a religious fundamentalist, his commentaries are extremely problematic. That's probably the most polite way I can respond. I hope that answers your question. Thank you again for your comment.
Dear ones, at the moment I am a student of a course on the Uddhava Gita, I would like to acquire some of these images that were inserted throughout the documentary. Would it be possible to have access to these images?
yes, sure it is possible. In order to learn the code of the images that you would like to use, you may go to this website: files.krishna.com/cgi-bin/ImageFolio42/imageFolio.cgi?direct=Krishna_Conscious_Paintings Then, you may ask permission from BBT(Bhaktivedanta Book Trust) to use the images by mentioning their codes. In order to do that you should fill and send the bbt form to ask permission from here: www.bbti.org/general_permissions.html. They can also send you the jpg images that you need. I hope this will help. If not, you can contact me later from devothema@gmail.com

Antun Mihanović when working on the Latin-Greek-Sanskrit dictionary for the Vatican found over 3000 words with identical roots no one mentions this, but it's interesting that second in other Manu who taught mankind how to make clothes was called Swarochisha Manu just like the old Slavic pagan god Svarožić unfortunately by baptizing the population it was all declared a heresy
You’re have such an ignorant colonial mindset. It was THEM who gave us linguistics and religion. Even the Greeks took words from them and you claim India is derived from Russia? That’s the dumbest thing i heard
