Vasudeva Das, a longtime ISKCON filmmaker known for his work with BhakTV, has spent several decades documenting devotional life through film. In 2016, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2nd Vaisnava Film Awards Festival in Mayapur, an event he co-organized with Nrisimhananda Das.
Recently, Vasudeva Das announced the release of his newest feature-length documentary, Around The Hill: The Giriraja Parikrama, which explores the sacred tradition of circumambulating Govardhana Hill. The film weaves together interviews with ISKCON leaders and other Vaishnava authorities, presenting “visual and cultural evidence for the phenomenal rise in popularity of various types of parikrama around Govardhana,” as Vasudeva explains.
Rich with spiritual insights, historical background, and on-the-ground footage, the documentary offers viewers a thoughtful look into the motives, practices, and significance of this ancient devotional journey.
