Amidst great anticipation, Art of Living launched the trailer of its first web series production 'Adi Shankaracharya', which was released on the auspicious day of Dussehra in the presence of global humanitarian leader and spiritual guru, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Gurudev says, “There is a need to revive knowledge with time,” Adi Shankaracharya revived knowledge. He united devotion, knowledge and action. His message was that life is not full of sorrow but of joy.”
This presentation promises to offer a fascinating glimpse into the early life of Adi Shankaracharya, as he traveled across India and revived spiritual beliefs and traditions that survive to this day. The first season of the series will consist of 10 episodes, each approximately 40 minutes long and cover the first eight years of Adi Shankaracharya's life.
Adi Shankaracharya is an important character in Indian history.
Nakul Dhawan, trustee of Sri Sri Publications Trust, says, “Adi Shankaracharya is an important character in Indian history, whose name is famous, but not everyone knows about his life story.” ”His life was short but full of events, in which he inspired almost the entire country during that period and traveled the entire region on foot and united the cultural aspects of the country. The traditions and institutions he started are alive and thriving even today, and he is the architect of India's cultural renaissance.”
This series is a tribute to the great Adi Shankaracharya
Talking about the project, director Omkar Nath Mishra says, “This series is a tribute to the great Adi Shankaracharya, whose wisdom, knowledge and spiritual strength shaped the nation. When India was divided into more than 300 states, Adi Shankaracharya traveled across the country and united the country under the banner of Sanatan Dharma. His contribution to the cultural and spiritual renaissance of India is invaluable and we are trying to bring his life story to the modern audience through this series.”
With the release of Adi Shankaracharya's trailer on an important day like Dussehra, India's explosive journey into the spiritual future has begun. The series will be available on the Art of Living app from November 1, bringing the inspiring life story of one of the country's greatest heroes to a global audience.
