In a rare intersection of cinema and spirituality, well-known spiritual leader Baba Param Guru recently offered an insightful review of the much-discussed film Saiyaara. Known for his deep spiritual discourses and thought-provoking interpretations of modern-day issues, the guru surprised many by referencing the film in one of his recent sermons. Rather than critique the film’s narrative or performances, Baba Param Guru focused on the spiritual symbolism and emotional undertones of the movie, urging his followers to look beyond its entertainment value and “find God through its message.”
“Saiyaara Isn’t Just a Love Story, It’s a Reminder of the Soul’s Journey”
Speaking to a large gathering of disciples at his ashram, Baba Param Guru said, “Saiyaara may appear to be about love, heartbreak, and youth, but hidden within it is a deeper message about seeking truth, connection, and the divine spark that lives within all of us.” According to him, the emotions portrayed in the film mirror the inner chaos many people feel today—the push and pull between the material world and spiritual awakening.
He emphasized that the characters’ emotional struggles reflect the disconnect modern society faces from its spiritual roots, making the film more than just a youthful romantic tale. “In every relationship, every heartbreak, and every moment of longing depicted in Saiyaara, there is a call from the soul—yearning not just for human companionship, but for oneness with the Creator,” he said.
A Bold Commentary: “People Today Have Four Affairs—And None With the Divine”
One of the most striking moments in Baba Param Guru’s address was when he made a sharp observation about current societal values. “Today’s generation is emotionally restless,” he declared. “People have time for four different romantic affairs but none for even a few minutes of prayer, silence, or introspection.”
He elaborated on this by saying that while love and relationships are natural, when they become excessive or shallow, they pull people further away from their inner peace. “Saiyaara, though fictional, is a mirror. It shows us the consequences of seeking validation through others instead of turning inward,” he noted.
A Call to Reclaim the Inner Self
The spiritual leader encouraged his listeners to take inspiration from the emotional evolution of the characters in Saiyaara. Instead of merely watching it for its glamorous cast or dramatic scenes, he asked them to reflect on how the film represents the soul’s search for wholeness. “Watch it with the eyes of the heart,” he said. “When you feel the pain of separation in the film, remember that it’s the same pain your soul feels when it’s far from the Divine.”
He further advised young people to spend more time nurturing their inner selves. “True love begins when you start loving your own soul,” he said. “Only then will your external relationships begin to reflect peace, depth, and truth.”
The Unusual Blend of Cinema and Spirituality
While it’s not often that spiritual figures comment on mainstream films, Baba Param Guru’s take has sparked a new conversation around Saiyaara—encouraging viewers to look at movies not just as entertainment, but as potential tools for self-reflection and awakening. His words have already begun circulating on social media, with many calling his interpretation “refreshing” and “eye-opening.”
In an era dominated by surface-level connections and digital distractions, Baba Param Guru’s thoughts serve as a gentle reminder to seek meaning in the chaos—and to remember that sometimes, even a film can become the starting point for a spiritual journey.
