India Gate

India Gate
(La Porte de l’Inde)
Dominique Aubier

Forty-odd films stand out from the usual product of the Indian film industry, presenting in a highly imaginative manner an incredible treatise on how to reach eternal truth. A huge cosmic communication is launched: Dil to Pagal Hai, Ghulam and Yes, Boss are three films that transmit the symbolism behind the Hebrew letters of, respectively, Dalet, Ha and Beit. These works strive to render intelligible the symbolic concepts of the Hebrew alphabet !
In this book, Dominique Aubier demonstrates that Indian cinema has opened the door to the Great message of the Eternal: reality in action. Planetary consciousness is solicited because of its grand integrative capacity: divine truth shines through the simplicity of our perceptions by way of the medium of film. Which is why Aubier’s new work is entitled “India Gate”.
Mera Nam Joker by Raj Kapoor has been scrutinized, a witness to the power of Aleph as the beginning of this revelatory operation. The Guimel surfaces in two mimetic tales that form the basis of the films Chori Chori and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. Two stories, whose narrative form would be disconcerting, dealt with by different artists, were they not responding to a Superior Guide… An über-director with thirty-five films under his belt along with two or three more which are the result of a single directorial effort over the decade between 1997 and 2007 during which he crafted an immense cinematographic dome – a majestic rainbow above the world, demonstrating the truth of the universal message in the Hebrew alphabet. If the mission of the 7th art is to enable us to see better what reality brings, Indian cinema has placed itself in the service of a Revelation that is made up of equal parts of the return of the Revelation from Mount Sinai and the messianic resurrection based on showcased exegesis.
Beyond the fascinating visuals, Dominique Aubier presents an anthropology of film with the help of the tools found in the hebrew kabbalah. She unveils the images and thus provides us with an illuminating epistemology. Dominique Aubier takes us behind the screen to meet this fabulous director who engraves in letters of gold the eternal truth of the Hebrew letters. This book is the second volume in the series La Haute Kabbale de l’Eternité (the High Kabbalah of Eternity).
