Selections from the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack of the award-winning documentary AWAKE: The Life of Yogananda are featured on this new music CD, including several rare recordings of the voice of Paramahansa Yogananda. The album, which fuses classical Indian sounds with western symphonic melodies, includes original works from the film’s two composers, Michael Mollura and Vivek Maddala, as well as songs by Krishna Das, Jai Uttal, Anoushka Shankar, Benjy Wertheimer, and Alanis Morissette.
The feature documentary AWAKE: the Life of Yogananda, produced by CounterPoint Films with cooperation from Self-Realization Fellowship, has seen box office sales surpass one million dollars; a feat that few documentaries ever realize.
