IDEA, known across India for its rich literary productions, has spent years bringing powerful historical and cultural stories to the stage. Among its most celebrated works is the play “Swami Vivekananda”, which has been performed successfully for the past ten years. Each show continues to inspire audiences with its depth, emotion, and spiritual energy.
The play traces the extraordinary life of Swami Vivekananda, beginning with his early childhood as Narendra, exploring his fearless curiosity, sharp intellect, and spiritual quest. It beautifully captures his life-changing bond with his guru, Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa, and highlights the turning points that shaped him into a global spiritual icon.
Throughout his journey, Swamiji crossed paths with many influential personalities. The play features some of the most significant among them: Bal Gangadhar Tilak – the fiery nationalist leader: Raja Ajit Singh of Khetri – Swamiji’s close friend and benefactor: Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda – a visionary ruler: Sir Jamsetji Tata – India’s pioneering industrialis. Their interactions with Swamiji reflect the deep impact he had on India’s intellectual and cultural renaissance.
With powerful performances, compelling storytelling, and an uplifting message, “Swami Vivekananda” stands as one of IDEA’s most influential productions. It celebrates a life dedicated to truth, service, strength, and the awakening of human potential.
