My Review: A very inspiring biopic of St. Francis of Assisi- the story of his youth, how he started the Franciscan order of monks from scratch, and his life of divine faith in the higher power that worked through him to establish the Monastic order that still exists today. I must have watched all major portions of this movie 20-30 times or more. I often used to play it on the phone while having a meal. Full movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_c-aPzF9Os

My Review: An excellent biopic of how someone who hated his Guru/God/Master (Christ) and killed his followers, became one of the most courageous, fearless, loving, and faithful disciples of God and spread his words across Europe while traveling on foot. I must have watched many portions of this movie about 10 times or more. I often used to play it on the phone while having a meal. Full movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdtgSlZyoRE

My Review: An inspiring story of an athlete who got shot in the back, got severely paralysed, and came back to athletics after rigorous rehab of one year. This makes the viewer understand that anybody can bounce back in life, if a paralyzed person who almost lost his life, can. Watch online: https://www.google.com/search?q=soorma+movie+ott

My Review: A very entertaining sci-fi movie. It seems to be inspired from Hinduism. Morpheus is Krishna. Neo is Arjun. Just like in Gita, Morpheus explains the working of real and unreal world to his Arjun. As taught in spirituality, some rules of the matrix need to be met and some can be broken, by "freeing the mind".

My Review: Sister Nivedita was among the chief disciples of Swami Vivekananda. Her selfless work and devotion is a great example before all spiritual & social workers. Vivekananda wrote a poem for Sister Nivedita, A benediction to Sister Nivedita: The mother's heart, the hero's will The sweetness of the southern breeze, The sacred charm and strength that dwell On Aryan altars, flaming, free; All these be yours and many more...

Very sweet romantic movie. It is a telugu movie but english subs are available.

My Review: An entertaining movie which conveys how superstition and other things are spoiling the name of religion. Although the movie seems to be against the concept of religion altogether, nevertheless, it brings home many important points and it seems to be correct in many ways when it talks against superstition and the false Gurus.

My Review: Entertaining movie on a robot that is made to terminate people. Since it is a robot, it will incur no karma. I sometimes think, he is a true karma yogi. He works with detachment for his mission and thus incurs no karma :-D. Even if he is hit with many bullets, he does not care. But he needs to have more love for people. But you can not blame him. That is his programmer's fault :-D. https://www.google.com/search?q=terminator2+movie+ott

My Review: This biopic on a great saint of India, Goswami Tulsidas, is another one of my favorites. He was the one who wrote Ramcharitmanas and Hanuman Chalisa. He is among the greatest devotional poets of India. His awe inspiring devotion to Lord Rama, as pictured in the movie can bring tears to any devotees heart.
