Events Recap
Grateful to Attend SETU’s Human Vivekananda
I had the pleasure of attending SETU – Stage Ensemble Theater Unit’s production of Human Vivekananda, a thoughtful and moving portrayal of Swami Vivekananda’s inner journey. The play beautifully captured his bond with Sri Ramakrishna, his search for purpose, and the values that shaped his message to the world. The performances were sincere, engaging, and brought both the philosophy and humanity of Vivekananda to life on stage.
My appreciation to Subrata Das and the entire SETU team for their vision and dedication in presenting this story with such depth and authenticity. The production offered a meaningful reminder of the power of theater to inspire reflection and reconnect us with timeless values such as compassion, courage, and service.
