Yug purush - Mahatma na Mahatma.

I am going to review about a play named Yug Purush - Mahatma ka Mahatma which, I have seen today with my classmates of M.A. at Yashwant rai natygruh, Bhavnagar.
Meaning of Yug Purush.
Yug means era
purush means man.
Yug Purush means the person of particular era but, here it is about a person who has done something special which never ever done before.
For example in India "Mahatma Gandhi" is true "Yugpurush", not only he upraise Indian with dignity of swadeshi and our self home rule but also he shown the path to eradicate untouchablity.
Another "Yugpurush" was Acharya Vinoba Bhawe" he request huge Land-owners (Zamindars) to give handfull of land to poor farmers so that they will remain labors for generations.
"Kiran Bedi" "Abdul Kalam" are some more person for whom we can use the word "Yug Purush".who given their contribution to their country, world and in the way of humanity.
There is also one more Yug Purush, shrimad RajChandraji, the guru of Mahatma Gandhi.
I have never heard about Shrimad Rajchandraji before watch the play about this great man.
The whole play is about the life of Rajchabdraji which reflected in Gandhiji.
The acting of probably all the characters were so good, especially of Gandiji and Rajchandraji. The management of lighting,sounds are very good.
I think the script and story was loos constructed because there were neither much comic scenes nor much tragic scenes. There was only the delivery of inspirational ideas and thoughts of Rajchandraji and Gandhiji. And only inspiration can be tedious for the audience.
There was good use of flashback technique in which, old Gandhiji telling the story by gesturing to two girls at one corner of the stage that how he was came in the contact of Rajchandraji, and also inspired by him, and at middle side of the stage, whole the actions are taken place.
So, the present time (old Mahatma Gandhi)and the past time(youth time of M.K Gandhi) both are acted simultaneously on the stage.
I have learn by the character of young M.K Gandhi that Gandhi's mentality and his ideology was not like a person who is known as father of nation presently to us.
there was little bit arrogance in M.K Gandhi in his youth period of time. arrogance, may be because of having knowledge, having a degree of Lawyer  from South Africa......but we can say that it was only the effect of other country's culture which not longer stay in Gandhi.
During the play I thought that the life of Rajchandraji is so good and I should read much about this great man.
because many things about Rajchandraji were shown which was unbelievable, like doing 100 of works simultaneously, having knowledge of probably everything, also the merchant of dimond and a poet.
but after ending up the play, one question arise in my mind that how does one man can be the so brilliant and having so much remembrance power that he remember fifty words of many languages in just one time???? And though of having so much intellect, I or may be many of my classmates didn't heard even the name of Ravichandraji, the guru of Gandhiji.
