Drama on the evolution of Mahatma Gandhiji

Leave a comment

Dear Friends, Here is an opportunity to watch award-winning play which  dramatizes the evolution of Mohandas Gandhi to Mahatma Gandhiji.
Yugpurush – The Play – http://www.yugpurush.org/
The play dramatizes the evolution of Mohandas Gandhi to Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhiji sought many mentors to find a strategy to eradicate oppression and discrimination. Gandhiji was able to develop conviction for and commitment to Ahimsa due to a deep spiritual connection with his one and only spiritual mentor. The performance of Yugpurush – Mahatma Ke Mahatma (in Hindi) will be on Friday, July 21 @ 8:00 PM, at Chabot College, Hayward, CA.
The Cause: All proceeds go to construction of a new, 200-bed, multi specialty, Charity Hospital providing free humanitarian- and health-care to the poor and privileged tribal population in Gujarat. The old, 55-bed Hospital has already served 1 Million patients for free since 2004; demand for its services have out-stripped its capacity. Hospital and Healthcare video (7 mins.)
You can help in many ways:

Fundraiser for Nepal Earthquake relief on Nov 1st.

Leave a comment

It has been 6 months since the devastating Earthquake in Nepal. More than 9000 people lost their lives and over 23,000 were injured.
Nepal, is one of Asia’s poorest countries, and has little ability to fund a major reconstruction effort on its own.
It is expected that rebuilding the economy will need international effort over the next few years as it could “easily exceed” USD$5 billion.

This is our small endeavor to help those who survived. We look forward to your support!
