Director's
note
The epics ,myths and legends of
India are the interpretations and expressions of its Vedanta Philosophy. The
ultimate aim of life is to study, experience the Vedanta and to practice it in
our day to day life, to reach the culmination of bliss and the attainment of
salvation (Moksha).To reach that goal our forefathers propounded four
ways.They are the path of action(Karma) knowledge (Njana) devotion(Bhakthi)
and meditation(Yoga).On this
foundation of thought Kandethal(Revelation) has been created. Here, through
ancient Vedantic philosophy, one can overcome the contemporary trials of
life and attain peace and bliss.
The enquiry of parents
-having their one and only child
abandoned them, the reason behind that, the enquiry of the father quite
worldly, resulted in grief and frustration. While the enquiry of the mother,
that she evolved from her lineage, the knowledge of the self becomes intuitive.
The result was the experiencing of peace
and bliss. That is why the film picturised , not giving importance to wide
shots, leaving aside the life situation and giving importance to persons and
their personal problems. Besides this film focuses on the search of inner and
outer minds of mother and father and establishes the presence their respective Gurus
But about the four
wide shots- represents the aspects of fire, water, air and sky of the five elements(Panchabhutangal)
.The camera is used as an expression of a person or as the movement of a person
The film is created
,considering the eyes of vision of the sitting spectator and denying the
present technological complexities. The film very simply narrates, like a
philosophical revelation, the personal grief of characters and to get the
concentration for emancipation from them ,Kandethal (Revelation) created
by me on belief that cinema should be an application of the vision to get
transformed and attain peace through the wisdom of visual experience
