Unlimited Pastimes brings timeless spiritual stories from the ancient East and the universe - told through a blend of generative AI films and traditional ani...
A few months ago, I shared that I was working on a commissioned series of AI-assisted movies based on three major chapters from the ancient spiritual book, the Srimad Bhagavatam . I’m happy to say that I wrapped up the project in mid-November, with six episodes completed - just in time to head off on a much-needed vacation! Now that I’m back, there’s some lovely news to share: the movies were…
The last month (07 Oct - 05 Nov) in the lunar calendar for devotees of Lord Krishna is called Kārtika - a sacred time when every act of devotion is said to multiply many-fold. It’s also the final stage of a four-month period of vows and austerities, so by the time Kārtika arrives, devotees everywhere are joyful and eager. Throughout this month, temples glow with candles and ghee lamps as devotees…
Over the last month, the two movies I worked on were entirely my own initiative. But right after the release of my first film, Ajāmila , something unexpected happened - a spiritual teacher and Guru from our community reached out and asked whether I could create a set of movies for his annual pilgrimage retreat. This retreat is attended by hundreds of people from around the world. What an honour —…
Today, I received the judge’s feedback for my very first film, Ajāmila - A Tale of Fall and Redemption . Reading it genuinely made my day: "This was an informative and engaging retelling of Ajāmila’s story, and you did a great job making it accessible even for people who might not know the background. The audio was really well chosen — it added atmosphere and helped carry the emotion of the story.…
Recently, a viewer left feedback on one of my videos mentioning the missing " tilaka " - the sacred forehead marking on the devotees and the Lord. Interestingly, I noticed a similar comment appear on another creator’s AI-generated devotional movie as well. Clearly, this is something that stands out to the audience, and rightly so. What is a Tilaka? For those unfamiliar, tilaka is a spiritual…
One of the feedback/questions I’ve received since the episodes went LIVE is: “ Why do the divine character's body movements or His lips move like those of a human? Shouldn’t it be more regal, smooth, or majestic? ” This question was specifically raised when the Vishnudutas (the messengers of Lord Vishnu) were shown conversing with the Yamadutas (the messengers of death) in the Ajamila movie . So,…
LIVE DATE: 06 September 2025 Watch it on YouTube I’m excited to share a new short movie that brings to life the timeless story of Mahārāja Ambarīṣa and Sage Durvāsā from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam. The film explores themes of devotion, humility, anger, forgiveness, and the Lord’s protection of His devotee. Set across earthly palaces, mystical realms, and celestial planets, the movie retells this…
Just a month ago, Ajāmila - The Fall and Redemption was only an idea. A few weeks later, that idea turned into a full AI-generated short film. And a week or so ago, to my amazement, the film was officially selected at the AI Film Festival in Venice 2025 — and has now received an Honourable Mention . I always thought that moments like these happened to other people — but here we are. While the film…
LIVE date: 11 August 2025 What is it about? Ajāmila - A Tale of Fall and Redemption is our very first AI-inspired movie, created to bring an ancient story into a cinematic form using the possibilities of generative technology. The film explores the life of Ajāmila, a man who fell from his virtuous beginnings but ultimately found deliverance, showing how the power of a single holy name can…
Eastern yogic wisdom is a treasure house of heart-warming, spiritually rich, and contemplative verses. For millennia, these teachings have guided seekers and practitioners across cultures, leaving an impact that continues to resonate. Once passed down orally, these stories and verses were later inscribed on palm leaves, preserved in books, and now live on through the internet. Generations have…
