Darshan: The Embrace, a film by Jan Kounen

Dashan: The Embrace is a documentary which follows Malayalam-speaking Mata Amritanandamayi, a.k.a Amma. Amma was born near Kochi, Kerala, India and is one of the most well-known and considered saintly persons of this millennium. She makes it a point to greet and hug everyone who comes for her Darshan, sometimes hugging as many as 45,000 people in a 21 hour period.

Amma also heads an Ashram that feeds the hungry and looks after the homeless, apart from being involved in several housing projects in India, and has displayed a special empathy for both humans and animals alike. She travels the world to preach about peace. She has also traveled extensively in India, especially to Kolkata and Varanasi, where she was greeted with millions of devotees.

Shot in locations throughout India, Darshan The Embrace is an enlightening film directed by Jan Kounen who skillfully captures the events, life and good causes of Amma.

Dashan: The Embrace is a nice documentary film. Actually everyone don't like documentary films because it runs in a slow motion but I really liked it.

Have seen a short documentary on her. She is a well known Indian spiritual leader and preaches selfless service, very identical to the Mother Teresa way. This world needs a lot of people like her.

I'd love to visit India someday. It said that this is a country of contrasts. But I know that a lot of people have found the answers to their questions there.
