Windfall of Grace (India)
(129 min; 2020; English)
Director: Japna Tulsi

An engaging insight on one of the most enigmatic mystics of the 20th century, Shri Neem Karoli Baba (1900-1973). Through a blend of narratives from simple, rustic Indian devotees juxtaposed with narratives of renowned American devotees, the film seeks to bring out how their individual encounters with Maharajji sparked dramatic shifts in their life’s purpose, along with profound shifts in their consciousness. From Steve Jobs to Larry Brilliant and Mark Zuckerberg, from Ram Dass to Krishna Das and many others, these stories are interspersed with devotional chants, music and kirtans
