WHEN BHAGWAN
CAME NORTH

(44 min., NDR broadcasting network, 2022)

For some, Bhagwan was a saint and a source of meaning; for others, the Indian guru with the 93 Rolls Royces was a bourgeois terror and charlatan. At the end of the 1970s, mainly young people frustrated by bourgeois society made their way to Poona in India and returned in red robes as his faithful disciples, as sannyasins. An exciting and highly entertaining look back at the days when Bhagwan came North.
