Interestingly recently Kher has lent his voice to a docu-drama based on the life of Paramahansa Yogananda, regarded as Father of Yoga in the west. The film ‘Awake’ was directed by two Americans.
He said that the Directors of the film made him do some yoga and meditation before every recording session. They wanted a puritan approach to the film. What a nice way of conveying pure feelings to the viewers of the movie! Kher became voice of Yogananda in the movie.
He truly feels that India should be proud of its spiritual heritage, “We have taken our gurus for granted. We think spirituality comes easily to us, because the gurus belong to India. I feel every Indian should know what great men our country has produced; they should know gurus like Swami Vivekananda and Yogananda. They were the spiritual ambassadors of India. And they are still India’s spiritual treasure. I would love to play him on the big screen if a biopic is ever made on his life.”
