Narrating the pure relationship of Mahatma Gandhi and Shrimad Rajchandra was beautifully told through a Hindi play ‘Yugpurush’.
The play was splendidly performed at Vidhan Sabha Auditorium here on Thursday. The play was all about the spirituality and purity. The play was organised marking the 150th birth anniversary of Shrimad Rajchnadra.
It is the theatre production of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur. Interestingly, it was the 276th presentation of the play. It is being performed across the world marking Rajchandra’s birth anniversary. After being performed in Gujarati, the play is now being performed in Hindi.
Yugpurush is a heart-touching and riveting portrayal of the profound spiritual relationship between Shrimadji and Gandhiji. The play gives an eternal experience of Gandhiji's internal and external journeys that unfold under the inspiration of his spiritual mentor.
The play is directed by acclaimed director Rajesh Joshi of 'Code Mantra' fame, and scripted by well-known playwright Uttam Gada of 'Maharathi' fame. The music direction is done by popular composer duo Sachin - Jigar.
With the heavy light designs and the cute music composition of Sachin-Jigar the play came out to be one of the overwhelming performances of the Thursday evening.
The play showcased many of the real life incidents from Mahatma Gandhi’s and Rajchandra’s life. In one of the scenes it showcases the first ever meeting of Rajchandra and Mahatma Gandhi. In another scene it unveiled about the Rajchandra’s teaching.
The writer beautifully brings out Rajchandra’s teaching adding a bit of humour to get a smooth flow of the play. Moreover, the artists performed it extremely well which was appreciated by the audience.
