A Tribute to Art and Spirituality
Inspired by the principles of the Bhagavad Gita, which states, “स्वे स्वे कर्मण्यभिरतः संसिद्धिं लभते नरः” ("Each man devoted to his own duty attains perfection"), Shekhar Sen has dedicated his talent to Indian theatre, enriching it with performances like Vivekanand and Kabir. His work not only entertains but also enlightens, connecting audiences with the timeless values of these revered figures.
