Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was developed and produced by ANTAHKARANA PRODUCTIONS under the direction of Chuck Wein. According to numerous discussions with Director Chuck Wein ~>
"...so, the word AntahKarana derives from the Sanskrit language employed by yogi and yogini alike; and in esoteric teachings refers to the 'Rainbow Bridge'."
"The Rainbow Bridge (AntahKarana) is the location (as a path of light) where, the results of a process known as 'Raising The Kundalini' may be expressed."
"The 'ki' (vital force of life) is aroused in the chakra nearest the base of the spine (where sexual Tantric energy is generated)."
"That 'ki' is then methodically passed upward, as a yogic practice, through the chakras, as it makes its way upwards, towards the crown chakra (pineal) where, after causing self-realization to occur, the spirit of an enlightened form of genuine pristine 'ruthless compassion' is born, and, it thereafter completes the process by making its return to and through the pituitary body (third eye) on its way back to the heart chakra."
"The Rainbow Bridge is path followed by the refined 'ki', to wit, the 'Light of Wisdom' (that has been born through Self-Realization) as passes from the Crown, to the Third Eye (pituitary) as it makes its way back to the Heart."
"Specifically the AntahKarana (Rainbow Bridge) is the bridge between the Awakened Third Eye (pituitary) and the fully coherent Heart ... i.e. a heart instilled with, suffused and tempered by 'ruthless compassion' (as it referred to in the Mahayana Traditions of Tibetan Tantric Yoga ...homage to the Dakini)."
In review;
"...the ki energy (vital force of the serpent coil) rises up, making its way though ALL chakras one by one, eventually illuminating all of them simultaneously, and when reaching the crown chakra (pineal body), it then triggers the harmonic resonant response within the endocrine gland systems throughout the entire human body (both physical and subtle), which thereby adjusts and balances the otherwise erratic hormones of the acolyte (yogini) (Bodhisattva); and upon completion of that process, the Buddha / Christ-like nature is REMEMBERED and restored to its full potential, as the soul awakens from its long slumber. The light of wisdom, in its pristine perspicacity then sends that radiant resonant light out into the cosmos by way of the Rainbow Bridge, and shines forth magnified by the heart chakra... in the hope that all unnecessary suffering of others may, to some extent, be remedied and relieved, whenever and wherever appropriate."

- Crazy creditsThe copyright notice is the first credit to appear onscreen. Following this, there is a long series of 70's-style animation (checker-screen wipes and all) over the other opening titles.
- Alternate versionsThere are a wide range of versions that exist for this film. The DVD from Rhino Video claims that the film runs 137 minutes, although the running time comes to 125 minutes. The 125-minute version is the only one with the length open black-screen monologue. The 108-minute version is the version shown to theater audiences in 1972. There is a 74-minute version, and the grand majority of this version consists of just the Jimi Hendrix concert footage with only a few scenes involving the commune remaining.

Featured review
just gets better every year
oh, how those criticvs love to rip apart low-budget movies outside the box. In '70, that expression was unknown but the hippie culture was still going strong (though after Altamont, Kent, State, Isle of Wight, and losing Janis Joplin, the surge lost a lot of momentum).
one attractive feature is that viewers cannot make headz or tailz of this film until about the fourth FULL viewing. plus...and this means kudos the creative side: we are never sure if the actors are actors! now, that is acting! and directing! we have our hippie-corporate head liaison visiting the Meditation Center in Maui...just to see how the money is being wasted. Pat Hartley, very sexy in her hippie-tight jeans, makes the trek....she encounters many obstructions of the establishment, on the way.
she falls mesmerized by the true love, peace, contentment - dreal *harmony* she finds. her enthusiasm is then further increase when the man, THE hippie musician icon of the day, Jimi Hendrix arrives to rock out! Hendrix's performance is the centerpiece of the film, but it comes well *into* the proceedings. a great performance.
baby boomers, esp. those a tad too old for Elvis and just young enough for The Beatles, invite yourself to join the peaceniks.
