Leave your thoughts about Awake: The Life of Yogananda.
| The New York TimesAnita GatesThe film’s storytelling is straightforward, almost standard-issue, but the story itself is compelling, as is the testimony of devotees. |
| Washington PostStephanie Merry[A] dreamy, entrancing and occasionally overstuffed documentary. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenFittingly enlightening, "Awake: The Life of Yogananda" is a vivid, elegantly assembled portrait of the savvy guru with the cherubic face and penetrating gaze who brought meditation to the West. |
| Chicago ReaderDrew HuntA voice-over narrator supplies some of Yogananda's more inspired passages, but the affected tone makes it all sound rather silly. |
| Sydney Morning HeraldSandra HallAfter a while, all this serenity becomes soporific. It's one for the already enlightened. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughThose looking for further enlightenment might want to pass on the feel-good cinematic hagiography known as Awake: The Life of Yogananda. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThis is a film that works both for followers and for those interested in knowing what yoga is truly about. Hint: It’s not about six-pack abs. |
| San Diego ReaderMatthew LickonaIt's not quite hagiography, but it's almost hard not to get caught up in the film's admiring tone. |
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelUnfortunately, while the swami taught his disciples to explore the depths of their very souls, the film barely scratches the surface of his life and teachings. |
| User ReviewhkdelhiAmazing, best movie/ documentary I have seen, Thanks God I have read Autobiography of a Yogi beforehand, the little boy with spot in between eyebrows, instructions to lay members, the growth of Self Realization Fellowship after the Great Guru's physical life are specially wonderful. The movie rightly conveys that although Great Guru has left the body but his consciousness is surly living and inspiring the followers / seekers of God from within, inspiring to seek bliss within, focus the mind at the point between the eyebrows. |
