YugPurush

Yugpurush highlights the values of love, selflessness, diversity, truth, and community building through the story of Mahatma Gandhi and Shrimad Rajchandra. The play examines how Gandhi met Shrimad for the first time after returning from England in 1891. Even after Gandhi moved to South Africa, they continued to exchange letters. These letters played a pivotal role in shaping Gandhi’s character. Their honest friendship blossomed and Gandhi proclaimed Shrimad as his spiritual mentor. Shrimad was the one who inherited principles of truth, ahimsa, and dharma which were later crystallized as the fundamental tenets of Gandhism. Shrimad died at an early age of 33 and the letters composed by him were then, the only companion of Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi remained indebted to the teachings of his mentor and now he is celebrated as the global messenger of non-violence.
