3/4  "Director Nalin Pan doesn't do much to weigh any arguments one way or the other. He simply presents his point of view that Ayurveda works. No question."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

3/5  "While the filmmaking may be a bit disjointed, the subject matter is so fascinating that you won't care."
-- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES

  "A fascinating documentary that provides a rounded and revealing overview of this ancient holistic healing system"
-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH

  "Pan Nalin's exposition is beautiful and mysterious, and the interviews that follow, with the practitioners of this ancient Indian practice, are as subtle and as enigmatic."
-- Maria Garcia, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL

3.5/5  "Reinforces the often forgotten fact of the world's remarkably varying human population and mindset, and its capacity to heal using creative, natural and ancient antidotes."
-- Jordan Reed, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

3/5  "While the frequent allusions to gurus and doshas will strike some Westerners as verging on mumbo-jumbo ... broad streaks of common sense emerge with unimpeachable clarity."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

2.5/5  "Lacking a strong editorial direction or even a voice-over to guide the viewer, it requires a lot of patience."
-- IOFILM.CO.UK

2.5/4  "If Ayurveda can help us return to a sane regimen of eating, sleeping and stress-reducing contemplation, it is clearly a good thing."
-- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL

2/5  "Alternative medicine obviously has its merits ... but Ayurveda does the field no favors."
-- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES

2/4  "It would work much better as a one-hour TV documentary."
-- Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

3/5  "A film that takes you inside the rhythms of its subject: You experience it as you watch."
-- Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR

  "Unspools like a highbrow, low-key, 102-minute infomercial, blending entrepreneurial zeal with the testimony of satisfied customers."
-- Elizabeth Zimmer, VILLAGE VOICE
