SLOKA
Janardhana Maharshi's
Trailer
Synopsis
Sloka, is a celebrated classical musician whose life takes an unexpected turn after a series of devastating personal losses. Seeking solace, she retreats from the world and moves into a friend’s solitary apartment overlooking a sprawling graveyard. Initially unnerved by the sight, Sloka begins to feel a strange connection to the graveyard and soon hears its voice; a deep, wise entity that she believes holds the truths of life and death and many more.
In her daily solitude, Sloka starts conversing with the graveyard, which shares its profound wisdom. It recounts the lives of those buried within its bounds, from beggars to businessmen, legends like Mahatma Gandhi, Vivekananda, Osho, Bruce Lee, Adi Shankaracharya, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Buddha, Bose etc revealing the shared humanity of all, regardless of status or achievement. Through these tales, Sloka learns about the fragility of life, the uselessness of ego and the beauty of existence.
Transformed by this wisdom, Sloka begins to understand life as a short yet magnificent celebration. She realises that grief and joy are two sides of the same coin and both must be embraced to truly live. The graveyard teaches her that every life, no matter how insignificant it may seem, leaves a ripple of meaning in the universe. This newfound understanding inspires her to return to music, not as an artist seeking fame but as a vessel for a deeper truth.
The graveyard calls out to Sloka, yearning to share the burden of pain it has carried through the four yugas. It pleads for a change, urging people not to approach it in sorrow or fear. Instead, it encourages them to visit and converse with it for just ten minutes each day. By doing so, the graveyard believes people would come to understand its perspective, shed their fear of death, and find solace in its presence. The graveyard taught her that all humans are bound by the same inevitable cycle of life and death and also that life is not about resisting death but about living fully, loving deeply, and being kind. Sloka composes psalms that embody the graveyard’s teachings, weaving its lessons of love, compassion, and reality into beautiful melodies.
Through her music, she narrates her journey, revealing her spiritual rebirth and the lessons she learned from the graveyard. Her voice carries a message of hope, urging her audience to confront their fears, embrace their vulnerabilities, and cherish life’s beauty in its true form. In that moment, Sloka and her music becomes a conduit for the graveyard’s timeless wisdom, uniting art and spirituality in a powerful celebration called life.
