SYNOPSIS

PAST

The night sky – the dark blanket above our heads adorned with shining stars extending as far as the eye can see – one of the most appealing and mystifying of all sights. The beauty and the majesty of the universe have inspired awe and reverence in the best brains throughout history.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, also known as Srila Prabhupada, author of 84 books on Vedic knowledge and founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and the Bhaktivedanta Institute, desired to erect the world’s largest planetarium depicting Vedic cosmology through modern technology. He hoped that this gigantic, virtual, 3-dimensional, animated model would give the contemporary world access to the Vedic cosmos.

“There is a perfect brain behind all the natural physical laws.”

– Albert Einstein

“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of a powerful and intelligent being.”

– Sir Isaac Newton

“Please describe the symptoms of this manifest world. What is its background? How is it created? How is it conserved? And under whose control is all this being done?”

– Sri Narada Muni

Questions about the origin, purpose and functioning of the universe have persuaded humanity for ages to explore and research its mysteries. Deep in mystic meditation, great yogis of Vedic times had access to transcendental knowledge, which otherwise remained hidden. These yogis had translated their knowledge into timeless wisdom in ancient texts such as Surya Siddhanta and Srimad Bhagavatam also known as Bhagavata-Purana.

While the Vedic planetarium is now nearly ready to be opened for the public in the holy city of Sri Mayapurdham near Kolkata, an authoritative and visually compelling documentary on the subject is the need of the hour.

Almost a decade ago, understanding this very special requirement - H.H Danavir Goswami (a sannyasi disciple of Srila Prabhupada) initiated the “Vedic Cosmos” documentary project. He authored books, wrote papers, held talks and seminars to kindle interest of general public in this fascinating and enlightening subject.

He produced and directed “Vedic Cosmos”, a 60 minute documentary featuring many experts from the fields of Vedic astronomy and cosmology. Right from its initial DVD release the documentary was an instant success; garnering appreciation and accolades from viewers across the world.

In the following years, in a short span of it’s internet presence the documentary drew more than 4 million views, a feat rarely achieved for an educational documentary.

PRESENT

“Vedic Cosmos - An intelligent design” reveals these mysteries and brings to life the timeless wisdom of these fascinating texts.

Produced in UltraHD 4K with 5.1 Dolby sound, cutting edge computer graphics and visual effects - the documentary takes you on a journey so real and enthralling, that it will have you rethink about the universe from a refreshingly new, yet perennially known perspective.

Join us as we take you on a journey through the stars!

The film, television and media landscape has changed vastly in the last ten years. While the technological innovations in the fields of computer generated graphics and visual effects have made the audience experience and expectations more sophisticated. The emergence of multi-platforms (Internet TV, mobiles, tablets and computers) coupled with faster internet has evolved the audience viewing habits to be more curated and individualistic. Traditional television and broadcast networks are now more or less obsolete and audiences across the world are in control of what they watch.

This is an ideal time for independent documentaries to reach their audiences directly without depending on the trends, profits and agenda driven broadcast networks.

Fueled by the success of the original “Vedic Cosmos” documentary and keeping the recent technological developments in mind - it is time for a new, updated and more slicker version of the documentary to be brought out.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

FUTURE

“Vedic Cosmos - An intelligent design” is a follow- up of the original documentary - closely following the same format but will be presented using the latest - ultra-high definition, ultra-real computer generated graphics and visual effects.

To reach a much wider range of audiences around the world, the documentary will be available in multiple languages [English, German, French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese (Cantonese) and Hindi] and multiple devices. For a complete visually thrilling experience the documentary will also be available in 360° dome projection format as well as be playable on virtual reality devices.

The idea behind this project is to inspire and educate new minds on the Vedic perspective of the Cosmos. This project will enliven us to go deeper into the sacred mysteries of the Universe and open the door for future research by open-minded & questioning scientists.

I sincerely hope that this project will assist in supplying a composite cosmological guide to understanding the direct explanation of the Srimad Bhagvatam as per the sacred desire of Srila Prabhupada.

PRODUCTION GALLERY

A team of carefully selected talented individuals from around the world is coming together to bring this magnificent visual odyssey to life. Each individual is highly accomplished in her/his field and brings years of experience and expertise to the project - be it in - art direction, 3d modeling, texturing, compositing, visual effects, music or cinematography.

DIRECTOR

GUIDING LIGHT & MENTOR

H.H Danavir Goswami Maharaj is heading the project. The project is

being executed under his direct guidance and mentorship.

Each and every creative and artistic visualization is first run through him to check for any philosophical compromise.

His original “Vedic cosmos” documentary is serving as the blue print for the team to understand the underlying concept of Vedic cosmology and to help them visualize the otherwise complex ideas.

International documentary filmmaker Varun Sharma is directing the documentary.

His collaboration with H.H Danavir Goswami Maharaj goes back 10 years. He was the co-producer of the original

“Vedic cosmos” documentary. His recent scientific mini-series titled “Life, Death and Reincarnation” is considered the most scientifically authoritative documentary in the world on the subject of

reincarnation.

He brings with him over 15 years of experience in film-making along with a team of highly accomplished artists and technicians from around the world.
