What is Hanuman Ansh about?
Hanuman Ansh is about a grieving young Lakshmi Narayan who, after the death of his mother, embarks on a spiritual journey in search of God. Traveling across Northern India in search of answers to questions of life, death and human suffering, he eventually becomes the revered saint Neem Karoli Baba, whose teachings on love, service and compassion have touched countless lives.

Neem Karoli Baba’s legacy is also associated with several eminent international and Indian personalities. In 1974, Steve Jobs reportedly traveled to India in search of him, and Mark Zuckerberg later visited Kainchi Dham, an ashram closely associated with the spiritual leader, after Jobs advised him to do so during a difficult period. In India, Neem Karoli Baba’s most famous devotees are power couple Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who also visited Kainchi Dham.
