Is there a purpose to life? This age-old question takes us on a transformative journey through the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, the insightful layers of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the depth of Jung's 'Afternoon of Life,' and the mystical concept of Lila, the divine play. We explore how these rich philosophies and theories converge to shed light on the concept of Dharma – our true calling and purpose.
Who was the real Buddha and what did he actually teach? In this three-part documentary, I explore the life, message, and impact of Siddhartha Gautama, the man we know as the Buddha. In Part 1, I trace Siddhartha Gautama’s journey from prince to seeker, from a sheltered palace life to walking away from it all in search of deeper meaning.

I also reflect on how the Buddha approached craving, the illusion of self, and the path to inner freedom, ideas that continue to challenge and inspire modern seekers.
In Part 3, I bring the Buddha’s teachings to life through three powerful stories — some popular, others rooted directly in the ancient texts. I close the series with a few final reflections on what the Buddha’s journey means for those of us still walking our own path.
