Dr C Vinod Hayagriv, managing trustee C Krishniah Chetty Foundation, MD and director C Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers said, “We all know the influence Gandhiji had on the history of India. But do we ever stop to think about his mentor or how the influencer himself got influenced? For theatre lovers of Bengaluru, we are happy to present this interesting play which explores the bond shared between Shrimadji and Gandhiji through stellar performances.”
“The event also coincides with 60 years of continuous service by C V Hayagriv, chairman and director, C Krishniah Chetty Group of Jewellers. On his wish, every rupee raised by sale of tickets will go to the Foundation to support healthcare and education for the underprivileged,” he said.
The play revolves around the bond shared between Gandhiji and Shrimadji. This close association contributed a great deal in moulding Gandhiji’s character.
In fact, he attributes his strong foundation of truth, non-violence and self-improvement to Shrimadji.
Through dramatic, strong and powerful performances, the cast of ‘Yugpurush’ will enact the interaction between Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and his guiding light, Shrimad Rajchandraji.
This close association contributed a great deal in moulding Gandhiji’s character, thoughts and actions.
Part of proceeds will go towards building a 200-bed hospital by Shrimad Rajchandra Mission in
Gujarat.
The CKC Group has also sponsored 500 seats to accommodate children in government,
private and public schools to witness the play.
