I could stand here with you forever.

Then you should, my love.

It is time.

I must go.

No, you must not do that please.

They will only tear us apart.

I will never let that happen.

I will convince them.

Please trust me.

You cannot change
the prejudice of your family.

But, I can try.

I will show them the purity of our love.

They will never understand
such a love as ours.

Their's is a world filled
with greed and hatred.

How can you risk what we have?

There is no other way.

I must protect us by facing them.

No. There must be.

No, let me go, let me go,

you're hurting me.

I am sorry.

Please heed my words!

Father.

Father, please,

I have come to...

Do not speak!

Why do you continue
to defy me like this

and reject all that our great family
holds so dear.

No, I...

By throwing yourself at that foul animal
you denounced our deity,

our culture, and your own future...

We have done no such thing!

M y whole life I've only honored you
and tried to fill you with pride.

Pride! I am filled with disgust.

M y love is a man you've never known.

No more of this!

Either you do exactly as I tell you
and honor the tradition as a daughter

or I will hunt that pagan down
and send him to the fires of narakha.

You know not what you say!

Silence!

No!

Maya, are you okay?

Yeah, I am fine.

I just keep having these weird,
lucid dreams.

They're getting more and more vivid.

Really?

How so?

Well, I woke up in the middle
of the night last night

with this dream mirroring
the Shiva/Shakti legend.

Again?

Yeah. Only this time,

I was in it.

You see, honey.

I told you were studying way too hard.

The stuff is starting to seep
into your subconscious.

I guess.

Maya, come on.

We've made it here.

You should be so happy.

Come here.

I am.

I'm just thinking.

About what, honey?

You know, this is the home
of my parents.

And my parents parents.

Yet... they never came back here.

They never revisited their family home.

You'd think at some point
they'd want to come back

but they never did.

Yeah, I wonder why?

I could never find out

from either of them.

I was lucky to have found the address
in my father's old diary.

I just hope somebody still lives there.

All the letters I sent were sent back
to me as "Return to Sender".

Sounds to me like someone's trying
to keep the skeletons

in the old family closet hidden, huh?

Well I guess we'll find out...

Coming to India
to gather information

for my thesis is so important,

but finding out more
about my family's background,

that's the real reason I came here.

Have you been here before, madam?

No. This is our first time to India.

Manicka Periyaveedu is
where you are going?

Yes.

Are you sure!

You want to go there.

Yes. I am sure.

Why?

Have you been there before?

I once went there long time ago.

But, no one goes there anymore.

Maya. It's so beautiful.

I hope that
we get a chance to stay here.

You want to stay here?

Yeah. Why not?

Where are you going?

No. No. I cannot stay here any longer.

What?

Hello. I am Maya Krishnan,
Krishnan's daughter.

Welcome Maya.

I am your Aunt Maya.

I've been waiting ages for you.

I am honored to meet you.

This is my best friend, Alexandria.

Call me Alex.

It is lovely to meet you, Aunt Maya.

Alex, you better learn to say Namaste.

That's pretty good.

Yes. It is excellent for one
who does not know our culture.

Please, wait here.

You are welcome here.

Please come inside.

You must be tired.

No, Aunt Maya,
we're not actually tired at all.

I'm actually quite surprised
to find you here.

Really?
And why would you say that?

Because I sent several letters
regarding my arrival to India

but I never had any response.

Strangely, they never arrived.

Well, the postal service
is most unreliable here.

Come.

Maya, this is your home.

You belong here,
not somewhere faraway.

I insist that you stay here.

Appu will get your things.

Appu?

Yes, he is the caretaker
of this Priyaveedu.

You will meet him soon enough.

Will you stay?

- Yes.
- Yes.

W onderful. Please follow me.

Maya, this is your room.

I hope you'll be happy here.

I'm sure I will.

This is a beautiful statue
of Ardhanareswara.

Aunt Maya,
your painting is amazing.

Thank you.
That one is my most favorite.

Maya, this is your bed.

It is made of medicinal wood.

No one exactly knows how old it is

but it has been in our family
for many centuries.

You mean you sleep on bare wood?

No pillows? No mattress?

Oh yes.

Only then you will get the full benefit.

The lovers must have
had strong backs.

Alex.

What, it's true.

Excuse me,
what do you mean Alexandria?

Sex on this bed, I just thought it
will be a bit uncomfortable, you know,

maybe a little painful

Pain and pleasure
are two sides of the same coin,

the dividing line is very thin...

Come Alexandria,
I will show you your room.

You mean we have separate rooms.

Of course,

this house has many rooms.

Most of them are vacant, you know.

This Periyaveedu
once belonged to a Prince.

It was from him
that it came to our family.

Really, do you know how?

It was a long time ago.

This house has many stories.

I would very much like to hear them.

Of course, but first get settled here.

I am sure it has been
a long journey for you.

And then I will tell you anything
that you need to know.

Excellent, I have so many questions.

And in time,
you will have many answers.

Alexandria, this is your room.

Is this also a medicinal bed?

No. However,

this room is given only to the honored
guests of the family.

This room is spotless.

Thank you.

Please make yourself
comfortable and relax.

Thank you, Aunt Maya.

You've been so kind.

Don't thank me, Maya.

It is my pleasure
to finally meet the child

born in the land beyond the oceans.

Well at least yours is soft!

Come, check it out.

Hello? Are you Appu?

Are you here for the hotels address
to collect our bags?

Here Appu.

It was nice meeting you.

What a character!

I know!

I wonder why he is acting so strange?

Maybe he got up on
the wrong side of the bed today?

Well, if his bed is anything like yours,

I would imagine
he would be eternally pissed.

Looks like some kind
of refreshments.

That's exactly what we need.

Toddy, you like?

Yeah...

You like.

I like.

Enjo y...

- Alex.
- Yeah.

Do you, do you see that over there?

What is that?

What is that?

Let's go see what it is.

Appu, I'm sorry
if we got off on the wrong foot.

What is with that guy?

Please don't mind.

He is afraid of new people.

But, somebody should teach him
some manners.

He is a simple man,
stuck in the past.

And you are the first visitors
that we've had in a long, long time.

Please don't feel offended.

His thinking is just little antiquated.

Please...

- Aunt Maya.
- Yes.

How was it like growing up
around here?

Was it as beautiful
and majestic as it is now?

Oh yes. Our family
was indeed very prosperous

when I was a young girl.

We had many advantages

that most people
in Tamil Nadu never dreamed.

Really, like what?

Like I had a tutor
when I was a little girl,

which was very uncommon.

I had the advantage
to do many things

which girls of my time could not.

Really? It sounds like your father
was as forward thinking as mine was.

Yes, he was.

He just...

did not truly understand
the nature of who I was.

I'm sorry
if I brought up a bad memory.

No, it's all right.

Such things are ancient history
and long resolved.

As you can see,
my friend loves to eat.

As long as it settles
in all the right places,

I can eat all I want.

It's good to satisfy such cravings.

So, are you enjo ying
your stay so far?

Yeah. We went
and saw all the sites of Ooty.

It's such a magical place.

I feel as though
I belong here already.

And, today we plan on getting lost
in the beauty of the forest.

The forest. It's beautiful.

Is there any place
that you recommend for us to see?

There are many caves in the forest
which are captivating.

Really? I would love to see them.

I think studying them
would help me with my thesis!

How do we find them?

It's been so long
since I've been there.

I can't give you exact directions,

but you'll know
when you will be close.

How?

By the stillness of the air,

when you can only hear
the sound of your breath

and the rhythm of your heart beat,

you will find the trail
that will lead you to them.

Sounds incredible!

It will seem so perfect
and so tranquil,

like you are home for the first time

in a long, long time.

We definitely have to go there!
Right, Alex?

Please, leave the plates.
Appu will take care of them...

Thanks, Aunt Maya.

Sorry for the trouble.

No trouble at all.

You are family.

Hey Maya...

take a look.

Why don't you go look for your caves?

I think I may stay here for a while.

I'll catch up with you later.

M y friend Alex the sleuth.

You know me

always trying to get
to the bottom of things.

- I'll meet you here later.
- Okay.

Milind?

Oh Milind.

By thr stillness of the air,

when you can only hear
the sound of your breath

and the rhythm of your heart beat,

you will find the trail

the will lead you to them.

Who's there?

I said, who's there?

You've had your fun,
now stop this game.

I'll say when the fun is over.

Give me my clothes!

That's not the way to talk to a lady.

A lady would not steal
a bare man's clothes.

But a vixen might?

There aren't any indigenous vixens
in these parts.

One must import them
for leisure to be framed on the rock,

only in the midst of waiting
for her mate

to present the day's kill.

You have a great imagination.

A painter has to have
a bountiful imagination.

What are you laughing at?

Well, Mr. Painter.

You aren't shy.

The flesh is to be reveled
and celebrated.

Besides, what am I suppose to do?

Hide my loins with a leaf?

You need much more than a leaf
to hide that, Milind.

Why you?

Wait...

How do you know my name?

Your wallet fell out of your trousers
and I couldn't help but notice your ID.

Mischievous fox I meet, nonetheless!

And what is your name, Ms. Vixen?

I like that. I like that a lot.

Alexandria.

In time,
all things transcend their very nature

and flow as they were meant to.

Welcome to my humble Gruham.

Oh, thank you.

I am sorry to intrude I was...

So you are curious by nature,
thirsting for knowledge?

Yes. I'm Maya.

A stranger in this country.

There are no strangers in this world.

Your name, do you know its meaning?

It has many meanings.

The reflection of the Infinite Being
in the material world is the one I prefer,

over just an illusion.

And what brings you here, Maya?

Luck, I guess,

and I'm working on my thesis
about the Goddess Parvati.

Interesting.

Your gruham, its incredible.

It's nothing
like I have ever seen or studied.

I can't believe such
a wondrous place exists.

Life is much more interesting
than the books.

You can acquire knowledge
from a manual,

but the art of what is learned
must be practiced in the flesh.

This is an impressive representation
of Shiva and Shakti.

Indeed, quite ancient too.

The feminine here is represented
in the form of his first wife Sati.

Oh, yes. I can see it now.

I've always thought of the tale
of the Infinite Being as beautiful,

yet profoundly sad.

In what way?

Shiva losing his first wife Sati
because of the ways of her father.

I suppose she had no choice,
and did it only out of love.

There is great sadness in his loss, but...

Sati is reincarnated.

She comes back to him.

And in the end they are one.

And what are you making over here?

Kama Rasa.

Love potion?

Yes.

Does it really work?

In conjunction with practicing
Vatsyayana's techniques.

The Kama Sutra.

Yes. The classic wisdom of his work
is a true path to enlightenment.

It taps into the human body's desires,

erasing conflicting emotions,

and leads the student
to the clarity of it all.

Really?

It's getting late.

I must meet my friends.

May I return tomorrow
and speak with you some more?

It would be helpful

if I could ask you some questions
regarding my thesis.

Of course.

You are welcome here
anytime you like.

Thank you, Mitra.

All right, come here. Well,

and this side up.

Good morning, Aunt Maya.

How are you today?

W onderful.

Today is such a beautiful
and vital day.

And you?

I'm ok.

I am just a little curious
where Maya is.

Oh yes. I saw her earlier.

I think she was going
into the forest again,

to the caves that she discovered.

I see. That explains it.

I guess I'll see her later then.

Yes.

And I'm sure she will be brimming
with exciting things to tell us of.

Aunt Maya...

W ould you mind
if I took your picture?

Picture?

Why would you want to take my picture?

Oh, you're so beautiful.

And I would love to have a memento
of our most gracious host...

May I?

Okay.

Thank you.

W ould you show me the photos?

Of course.

I'll make you a set.

I don't have any pictures of myself.

Really?

I'm surprised.

Life is full of surprises.

This is a rare Ayurvedic oil.

What does it do?

It helps in many ways.

Keeps the hair long and healthy.

Seeps into your pores
and opens the mind.

Smells of sandalwood.

The comb is made of sandalwood.

The oil is odorless.

Please, let me comb your hair.

Don't sneak up on people like that.

You see only what you want to see.

What the hell are you talking about?

I...

I...

you should have never come here.

What do you mean?

Sit there.

You're right. It feels wonderful.

Milind, are you painting
my back view today?

Not exactly.

What are you doing?

I am creating something different.

- Trust me.
- Okay.

You just got paint all over me.

I'm sorry. I meant to.

What are these leaves?

They are a rare and forgotten catalyst.

They stimulate nerve ends
and open one's deeper desires.

The great ancestors of this land
knew those secrets and shared them

with their acolytes.

That knowledge vanished through

time and the divine properties
of the leaves

was deemed unfit for man.

I can feel the heat rising in my body.

Mitra, I can't bear this torture...

This is the torture of desire.

It only increases the ultimate jo ys
of the union of male and female.

The highest peak
of pleasure known to mankind

is to simply surrender
your conscious mind.

Open it so that you will be complete.

Untie me...

please...

it's painful.

Pain and pleasure
are two sides of the same coin.

The dividing line is very thin.

This sari has been
in our family for decades.

Aunt Maya, it's gorgeous.

Is it yours?

It was.

But now it's yours.

Here, let me help you try it on.

And what was it like for you.

Your first time?

Your first love?

I mean, all of this, in my mind,

in my heart, in my body,

I have never known.

M y love,

my first and only love,

I will never forget.

No matter what time passes,

he is always with me.

In my dreams,

in my thoughts,

in everything...

So these feelings will always be?

Yes.

Like a flame,

you will feel the warmth
and the light

as well as the pain.

Look, how lovely
you look in this sari, Maya.

You now belong to this land.

Thank you, Aunt Maya.

Thank you so much.

So, did you see them?

How'd they look?

Not bad. Some of them
didn't turn out right.

What do you mean?

Those shots right there.

It all came out strange.

What?

Why are all the shots of Maya
and the Mansion screwed up?

Are you sure this studio is alright?

Yeah.

Look, the forest pictures
came out right.

But how?

Why would these be okay
and everything else messed up?

I don't know.

Maybe the lighting
was wrong or something?

Look, I never take such crappy photos.

It's not the end of the world.

Good morning, Mitra.

Every morning is like this, Maya.

You look lovely in that sari,

like a Tamil Queen of a previous birth.

Mitra?

Yes Maya.

M y heart is yours.

And mine yours.

But there's more.

The film not being right.

And the strange servant Appu.

And every time I see Aunt Maya
she looks different.

Really?

And what does Maya think of all this?

I'm not sure. She's been busy.

In the last two weeks the only time
I've seen her is at the dining table

and every time we start to talk,
we get interrupted.

Sounds like you
just have nosy servants

and relatives relishing in the fact

that they have someone
to dote on again.

I keep on telling myself that,
but I'm just not sure.

Look, you've said it's been a long time
since the place has had visitors.

Your friend Maya
is always gone working on her thesis.

So, you're in a big, lifeless house,
in a place you've never been in.

Our minds have a way of playing tricks
on us in such situations.

Maybe.

Look, everything's fine.

Go have a talk with your friend.

If that doesn't do it,
take a walk around the house.

I am sure you will end up scaring yourself

before anything happens.

M y god. I never imagined
that it could be like this.

I did'nt think
that I could ever experience such...

Maya, the body and soul are one.

Sex and love are the purest way
that man can celebrate

and join with the Divine.

Hello!

Who's there.

Shit!

You should have listened to me.

I tried to warn you.

What is wrong with this place?

This is Manicka Periya Veedu...

There are spirits in the night air...

I know. I've seen them.

She is searching for someone

who can bring her
back to the land of living...

Once inside...

she will never go away.

What about Maya?

Her fate is sealed.

I can't just leave her here!

What should I do?

Take this book.

It is a book that holds the key
to saving your friend

and freeing her soul from the curse.

Go away, please go away,
before it's too late.

Seems to be an ancient
book of Indian mythology.

How is that supposed to help Maya?

I don't know,
a guy just died giving you this.

I just need some time.

I know very well
that something happened to her.

You don't know that for sure.

Everything is going to be ok.

Come here...

I really don't know
what I would do without you.

What is that?

It's a palm leaf.

I found it in the tome
that Appu gave to you.

A palm leaf?

Yes. Leafs like this are almost
like maps or keys to a puzzle.

Prophets have been using them
for thousands of years.

What does it say?

I mean, can you decipher it?

No. A very few people can.

Our best bet
is to go to the nearest temple,

hopefully the priest there
will be able to help us.

And what about the book?

I'll explain this all to you later.

Let's go.

Wait.

Let's go to the house first.

I want to see if Maya has returned.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Oh my god, I can't believe my eyes.

Well, believe it. Come, let's go.

Wait here. Let me get her.

What?

She'll get startled if we both go in.

Just let me do this.

Hello, my sweet Alexandria.

And how are you
this auspicious evening?

What are you doing?

I am preparing myself for my love.

Why do you ask?

Oh my god!

What happened to your wrists?

Nothing.

They are the impressions of love.

They are a testament
to the evolution of one's being.

Honey, where were you earlier?

I was dancing throughout the world
with my beloved Mitra.

Why are you so concerned?

Listen to me.

This room?

Tell me what you see!

I see a beautiful pristine room.

A reflection of my being fully realized.

What are you talking about?

Honey, you're not safe here.

Please come with me now.

You're the one who is unsafe.

You should be inebriated
with the passions of your painter.

What else is there but love?

Listen, you must come with me now.

No.

Maya.

I said no.

What is wrong with you honey?

I am alive for the first time in ages!

I watched the sun set
over my homeland

and finally blossomed
into the woman I meant to be.

I love you.

Please come with me now.

What are you talking about?

No. I don't need it.

What are your names?

I am Milind.

This is Alexandria and this is Maya.

The child from beyond the oceans.

God bless you all...

especially

our dear Maya.

Sir, is there anything you can tell us
about the palm leaf or about Maya?

They were a great family.

She was the daughter

many years ago

she was very beautiful,

artistic.

She could sing

paint

and dance

she was the youngest daughter
of the family

her name still lingers
with adoration in my mind.

And what became of her?

She fell in love
with a stranger, a foreigner.

She wanted to marry him.

Such marriages were forbidden
in those families...

No one ever has known
where he came from.

He claimed to be a very holy person

and believed
that he was the avatar of Shiva.

He was a student of many religions.

It was rumored that
he frequently emulated and believed

that he possesses the powers
of the deities that he worshipped.

He lived in one of the nearby caves
and practiced his sorcery there.

In the caves?

Yes, in the caves.

When the knowledge of her lover
was known to her father

he forcefully tried to marry her
to another man from her own clan.

M y whole life,

I have only honored you
and tried to fill you with pride.

Pride! I am filled with disgust.

M y love is a man you have never known.

No more of this!

Either you do exactly as I tell you

and honor the tradition as a daughter

or I will hunt that pagan down

and send him to the fires of Narakha!

You know not what you say!

Silence!

No.

On the day it was announced
we were to be married...

We? You were engaged to her?

Yes. She was to be my bride,

but instead chose an immoral death...

After she died,

the stranger killed her father
with one, quick blow...

You have witnessed
the fall of this family.

You have seen a god broken in two,

for this I curse you all.

Every member of this wretched
family shall bear the pain

that I feel this night

until my love returns to me
in the flesh.

Family members began to die

by accidents

mysterious diseases

but I was protected
from death by the deity

whom I have since served...

Spared until the circle is closed

and I could hear her voice again...

How does the circle close?

He who lives
by the sword must die by the sword,

baptized in fire which gave him life.

The name?

The girl that killed herself?

Please tell us, what was her name?

Her name was...

You!

Maya!

Maya!

The caves...

the caves...

Mitra?

Maya. M y sweet, beloved Maya.

The night we shed our earthbound selves

and become one forever
is finally come upon us.

Are you ready?

Yes my love.

This has to be the way.

I hope so.

Mitra, what are you doing?

Mitra, what is the meaning of this?

You know why you are here.

No.

You are the child beyond the oceans,

prophesied eons ago
to bring our souls together.

You are the mirror image
of Aunt Maya, my lost love.

Aunt Maya?

Me?

You share her destiny,

and when we consummated
our love this day,

you and her became one.

I have returned to you.

Yes.

Forever.

No, I do not believe in past lives.

If you love me,

love me for who I am,
not who I represent.

You do not represent. You are!

No. I am only me.

I will not let you do this again.

You must trust me and believe.

I have only trusted you
and believed in us.

Mitra, look at me.

The love we share is our own,
not some reflection of your past.

Please don't do this.

I am sorry my love.

This is the only way.

Forgive me.

By the stillness of the air,

when you can only hear
the sound of your breath

and the rhythm of your heartbeat,

you will find the trail
that will lead you to them.

This is a way.

Why? You taught me to love.

You taught me to feel.

I gave you all of me.

You unlocked your own passions
and realized the truth.

My love.

Mitra, this is not the way.

No! This is our destiny!

Our destiny is to be together,
for all eternity as ourselves.

This child is not the vessel to that reality.

She is.

She has her own destiny awaiting her.

Too many

too many perished
because of the wrongs done unto us.

The suffering is over.

How can you refuse
what we have dreamed of for so long.

Ours is a tale of eternal longing
and desire.

It should have ceased
with our natural deaths,

not prolonged by your magic...

M y magic has kept our love alive,
all in anticipation of this moment.

What are you doing?

Closing the circle.

No!

Be with her now.
