DVD Reviews of ORIGINS OF YOGA: Quest for the spiritual
DVD Review: Lifestyles of Indian yogis
Summary: 3 Stars
This 50-minute documentary explores the way of life of wandering Indian yogis, vividly making the point that hatha yoga, practiced by many Westerners, is just one small part of the yogis' life of renunciation and seeking oneness with the Divine.
We see various yogis--many of them clad only in ashes rubbed onto their skin--wandering through northern India and Nepal, making pilgrimages to holy sites, praying, meditating, bathing in rivers, offering blessings, and of course performing difficult yoga asanas (postures). Commentary is provided by the yogis themselves and by Dr. Georg Feuerstein, a prolific Western writer on yoga.
The film, though interesting, wanders about with little apparent organization and with virtually no analysis (Are these guys "holy" or just odd? What are their backgrounds? What do their families think? Why aren't there any women?), and I came away feeling that I hadn't learned much about yoga or gotten much new insight into yoga as a spiritual path.
If you want to learn about the origins of yoga--a topic that doesn't actually get much attention in this film--I'd recommend the documentary "Yoga Unveiled." Two other good videos on India are "The Soul of India" (a guided tour of India), and "Ancient India" (a history of India).
