On a journey towards awareness and enlightenment, revered Jain monk Gurudev Shri Chitrabhanu leads eighteen young Americans to India to explore the magnificent architecture and carvings in the ancient Jain temples and to receive a deeper understanding of Jain philosophy.
According to Gurudev, to achieve enlightenment, one must conquer the enemies within through meditation, revere all living things, and commit to nonviolence.
The film's journey concludes with a ravishing ritual climb up Mount Palitana both to view the 700 temples at its peak and to facilitate an inward climb to find God within self.
