The event was honored by the Chief Guest, Shri Ajay Goyal, President, Quantum University, whose presence added grace and encouragement to the occasion. The university’s Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) Vivek Kumar, also graced the event with his esteemed presence and inspiring words.

Several other dignitaries, including Deans, Directors, and faculty members from various schools of Quantum University, were present to witness the play. Their appreciation and active engagement added to the vibrancy and significance of the event.

About the Play

The play, “Dharamyodha Swami Vivekanand,” written by Mr. Shashi Bhushan and Mr. Manish Tiwari, and directed by Mr. Abhi Dhiman, portrayed the transformational journey of Swami Vivekananda — from a young, inquisitive Narendranath Dutta to a global spiritual icon who took India’s profound message of peace and brotherhood to the world stage.

The narrative was woven around pivotal moments of Swami Vivekananda’s life — his early quest for truth, his meeting with Shri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, his inner struggles to understand Dharma, his self-realization, and his historic 1893 speech at the World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, which introduced India’s spiritual heritage to the global audience.

The performance was enriched with powerful dialogues, emotive acting, and soul-stirring background music, bringing alive the essence of Swamiji’s philosophy — strength, self-belief, and service to humanity.

Thematic Essence and Message

The play carried a profound message for today’s youth — urging them to believe in their potential, stay disciplined, and dedicate their energy to the service of others.

Through dramatization, the play explored themes such as:

• Self-Realization and Strength: Inspiring individuals to discover their inner power and live with purpose.
   
• Patriotism and National Pride: Reviving the spirit of dedication towards the nation’s progress.
   
• Spiritual Enlightenment: Highlighting Swamiji’s belief that “Religion is not for blind faith but for self-development and realization.”
   
• Youth Empowerment: Encouraging young minds to lead with courage, morality, and responsibility.
   

Each scene was carefully crafted to reflect Swamiji’s spiritual evolution — blending introspection with action, philosophy with patriotism, and individuality with universal harmony.

Audience Response

The performance captivated the audience from the very beginning. As the story unfolded, the auditorium resonated with applause, emotion, and admiration. The actors’ sincerity and conviction brought Swami Vivekananda’s ideals to life, evoking both pride and introspection among the spectators.

The most impactful moments were marked by powerful lines that echoed through the hall —

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.”
“Strength is life, weakness is death; expansion is life, contraction is death.”
“Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”

These immortal words filled the air with motivation and spiritual energy, leaving the audience deeply moved.

Conclusion

The one-act play “Dharamyodha Swami Vivekanand” was not merely a performance but a spiritual and intellectual awakening. It served as a reminder of the timeless relevance of Swami Vivekananda’s teachings in the modern world.
