sabad nirantar

in spite of (or maybe because of) my apprehension regarding any form of organized religion, and my recently discovered, aforementioned existentialism (see previous post) i was drawn to and moved by the devotion to a greater power expressed in the words of the bhakti poets and the voices of the folk singers of the malwa region - a complete abandonment of the self in a melting into the world and the heavens through the medium of music and poetry. metaphors are opened out as words within words and voices are vehicles towards the sublime. i loved the film.
