Hinduism: 330 Million Gods
July 25, 2011 by Jim Spickard.
Film Info: Part of “The Long Search”, a BBC series hosted by Ronald Eyre – 52 minutes
Distributor: Ambrose Videos has the entire series on DVD for $99
Summary: Traces the Indian religious experience in two highly contrasting locations: the bustling city of Benares where millions come to bathe in the holy waters of the Ganges, and the small village of Bhith Bhagwanpur, unvisited except by professional story tellers and itinerant priests. The film concentrates its attention on the Hindu approach to God. But which God? For there are 330 million of them.
