The Answer (2018)

Transcending the boundaries of the ordinary, "The Answer" is a riveting tale of spiritual awakening that has garnered international acclaim. This English language autobiographical feature film, the first to depict the profound relationship between an Indian Guru and his American disciple, transports viewers into a world of transcendental discovery. Our protagonist, James Donald Walters, later known as Swami Kriyananda, embarks on an extraordinary journey, surrendering the comforts of the familiar for a quest of spiritual self-realisation. At the tender age of 22, his search for truth leads him to the great Avatar, Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic 'Autobiography of a Yogi'. This meeting marks the beginning of an unparalleled journey from student to master, as Walters finds his calling under Yogananda's profound guidance. The film is a visually stunning odyssey, set against the backdrop of the 1930s to 1950s, spanning across continents from the bustling streets of New York and Los Angeles to the mystic landscapes of India and Europe. Every location, be it Nevada city, Calcutta, or the quaint towns of Bucharest, Sinaia, and Brasov, adds a layer of depth to this captivating narrative. "The Answer" is not merely a recounting of Swami Kriyananda’s life; it is an exploration of his unwavering devotion to his master, Paramhansa Yogananda, and the profound spiritual message he carried to the world. This narrative, based on Kriyananda's celebrated book 'New Path', is a testament to the power of faith and the journey towards enlightenment. Endorsed by its success at international film festivals, with 17 major awards, 26 official selections, and 48 nominations, "The Answer" encapsulates the essence of a spiritual journey that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide. This is a tale that the world needs, a tale that answers the call for a deeper understanding of our existence.
