New Film: Ánanda Nagar: Land of Bliss
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of the founding of P.R. Sarkar Institute with the release of the documentary film Ánanda Nagar: Land of Bliss.
Nestled amidst the undulating hills of the ancient land of Ráŕh, Ánanda Nagar is the global headquarters of Ánanda Márga. Glistening with austere beauty, its land, climate, clean air and mineral-rich water are all conducive to health, vitality and inspiration. It is a profoundly spiritually vibrated place, its red earth sanctified by the many sages of the past who have meditated there, making it ideal for spiritual practice. And Ánanda Nagar includes many service projects such as schools, colleges, children’s homes, the Ábhá Sevá Sadan hospital, naturopathic and other health clinics, numerous agricultural projects, the Umá Nivás women’s centre, and other social welfare and village development schemes. This film is an overview of its history to date. https://www.youtube.com/PRSarkarInstitute

Update of Documentary Film
Neohumanism: Path of Awakening and Benevolence
Sid Jordan, Executive Producer
Kevin Peer, Film-Maker
The new website for the film, developed by the PR Sarkar Institute, is set to launch in May. Its goal is to introduce a wider audience to Neohumanist service projects around the globe and to raise funds for the film’s production and post-production this year. The site features a promotional trailer that captures the essence of Neohumanism in action, showcasing initiatives that benefit all beings through Neohumanist education, food programs, animal protection, medical and trauma services, children’s homes, and spiritual practices.
In addition, the website highlights the team behind the film, includes a gallery of images from the film’s locations, and invites visitors to contribute to the film’s completion and the spread of its Neohumanist message.
The distribution plan includes creating a beautifully crafted, “National Geographic-style” forty- minute documentary to be showcased on streaming platforms and submitted to national and international film festivals. To reach an even broader audience, shorter films will also be produced for platforms like YouTube.
