The movie depicted a story on women’s empowerment which is a burning issue in the society, we all are talking about. This is a Biopic based on the life of” Dada
Lekhraj Kripalani” founder of Bhramakumari known as Pitashri Bhrama” is the story derived from the book “Ek Adbhut Jeevan Khani” penned by Jagdish Chander.
Bhramakumari is a spiritual organization which has been successfully running in 110 countries, spreading the message of spirituality.
For over 80 years their leadership has been characterized by steady courage, a capacity for forgiveness, and a deep commitment to unity.
In Bhramakumari women hold the top administrative positions, and moreover, women who hold these positions have always made decisions in partnership with the men. It is a partnership and consensus model of leadership, based on respect, equality, and humility. As such, it stands as an exemplar of accomplished and harmonious jurisdiction.
The story of “The Light” revolves around Baba Lekhraj’s life, how an affluent diamond merchant who gave away all his wealth and property to a trust aiming to empower women, as well as spread awareness of human values and whose ultimate desire is to bring peace and harmony in the world through meditation and spirituality.
The movie fascinated the audience with how an affluent man had sacrificed a life of luxury and became a Rajyogi.
Sujeet Sirkar who is the creative producer of the movie stated that he produced so many movies but this bio feature amazed me how this organization actually does many deeds for women’s empowerment, whereas in the world, we all are merely talking about it. This animated movie is indeed worth watching.
The procedure of this movie BK Hiralal Bhanushali added that our aim to produce The Light is that we deliver a message to the world that the path of spirituality is not as tough as we assumed. See how Baba Lekhraj faced many challenges and obstacles with bravery and courage. His journey of becoming a Rajyogi will really inspire the audience, I firmly recommend that in today’s era where chaos and disturbance are prevailing everywhere watching “The Light “will be a treat for eyes and years.
The Bk Jayanti (the additional chief of Bhramakumari) stated that by this movie spiritual enthusiasm will quench their thirst for exploring spirituality.
The character of Holy Bhrama Baba is the torch bearer for women’s empowerment and how he tried to unite the society with rajyoga.
