for Alive Mind Education titles


Much of the entertaining Hippie Masala consists of charming reminiscences from the quirky quartet (as well as a pair of voluble South African twins who’ve also taken up residence in India), backed by footage of their day-to-day lives. Recommended.
-Video Librarian November/December 2008

A poignant and serious meditation on human psychology, Protagonist is highly recommended. Editor's Choice.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Brilliantly filmed under fairly difficult circumstances, Living Goddess will definitely appeal to anyone with an interest in Eastern religions. Recommended.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Some believers will no doubt refuse to watch these conversations, while others may feel that their faith can only be strengthened by confronting the strongest arguments against it—and The Atheism Tapes definitely delivers the latter. Highly recommended.
-Video Librarian July/August 2008

Both as a lesson in law and as an entertaining personality profile, Pledge of Allegiance Blues is highly recommended.
