Director Ashwin Kumar, the visionary behind the upcoming mythological epic Mahavatar Narasimha, has emphasized the need to revive Shastric learning and Indian philosophical traditions among the younger generation. Speaking about the film, Kumar highlighted how contemporary education often leaves children disconnected from their roots.
“Since Bharat was colonized, we must end our mental colonization by reviving Shastric studies, even without the traditional Gurukul system,” Kumar said. “It is crucial that the younger generation learns about the various darshans, perspectives, narratives, and themes of our theology and texts in schools. Parents today are busy, and children remain uneducated in these matters, often forming confused ideas and feeling disconnected or even ashamed of their own Dharma.”
Mahavatar Narasimha is not just a cinematic retelling of the fourth avatar of Lord Vishnu, but a tribute to the spiritual and philosophical richness of Hinduism. Kumar hopes that the film will serve as a medium to reconnect today’s youth with the wisdom embedded in India’s ancient scriptures.
“Educating them properly will instill pride in our culture and heritage. Our Mahavatar Narasimha represents this legacy, a tribute to our Shastras and Dharma, bringing them back to the mainstream,” he added. “Our Gods are the true heroes, and by engraving their stories in the minds of the youth, we help them find pride, understanding, logical clarity, and inner peace through our sacred texts.”
