Journey to Kurukshetra

Journey to Kurukshetra (2013)

'Journey to Kurukshetra' is a trip to the site where the historic Battle of Kurukshetra mentioned in the Bhagavadgita took place. Before we are going to Kurukshetra, we see sites where Krishna, India' Great Saint, grew up - places like Mathura, Vrindavan, Jyotisar, and Delhi. In Jyotisar there is still the Banyan Tree where Krishna gave the scriptures of the Bhagavadgita to the warrior Arjuna. Krishna inspired many people in India to live a spiritual life. The location of the battle was Kurukshetra in the modern state of Haryana in India. The conflict is believed to form an essential component of an ancient work called 'Jaya' and hence the epic 'Mahabharata'. The content of the Bhagavadgita was and still is an inspiring story for many years for me. I like to read about the Battle of Kurukshetra and the message that Krishna gave Arjuna. So I went to the places where history happened 5,000 years ago. I tried to make the message understandable for a short film - I find the story of the Battle of Kurukshetra to be as important as the crucifixion of Christ.
