Banaras, A Mystic Love Story

Banaras is not a destination its a journey of our lives. If you go to watch this movie for a ready-made solution or only to "kill" two hours, you may get disappointed. Banaras is aimed to create a thirst for something one is generally uncomfortable to explore.

What is the Truth?

Satya Kya Hai?

Swetambari, in the movie, is an enlightened soul devoid of common insecurity and fear. She tries to put a perspective to religeon by asking this question.

The question (Satya kya hai?)is meant to provoke us to think outside of the boundary of our religeous beliefs.She invites us to explore the "nature of God" we believe in.

..Our mind is full of insecurity and fear. And to fight that fear we create an imginary "concept" called God...( She calls God, a concept)..... Not happy with the mere imagination of the mind, we begin looking for him( the God) outside of ourselves...As a consequence, disappointed having not found him we continue to be consumed in fear.

Then what is the truth?

And thus the search for the truth becomes the journey of Banaras the movie.

Truth is that which was in the past, is in the present, and will be there in future. Truth is that which will never die. Then it is necessary that truth is that which was never born. Because anything that is born must die. And if it is present today and gone tomorrow, then it is not truth. That is why we Sikhs always say "Sat Sri Akal". Meaning Akalpurukh, Waheguru, God is the only truth.
