AAW #64
Jun 23 - Jun 29 2016
Tear drops are falling while waiting for the rain drops and Ahmedabad has a lot to offer to help its citizens combat this harsh wait. This week the city has a trunk full of enrichment and Creative Yatra’s 64th Ahmedabad Art Weekly gives you a kick start of the week with a flourishing art exhibition and an extraordinary talk show spree in the city. To give goose bumps the city has also delivered you with adventurous trekking and a stand-up comedy event. Recitalists of the city are not sleeping and that’s why Creative Yatra was able to find out few good theatre plays as well as musical events for this week’s AAW.
Our inspiration for this week’s AAW has been ignited from the great Pujya Shri Mota, who has set Hari Om Ashram in Surat and Nadiad. He was born on September 4, 1898 and grew to become a great philosopher and a spiritually awakened leader. His beliefs and vibes are still fragrant amongst the followers and his meditation skills are profound. Seekers from around the world queue up to spend time at the serene ‘Maun Mandir’ (Temple of Silence) set up by Pujya Mota. Many a creative souls have found inner peace at this abode of silence near Nadiad.
Team Creative Yatra gives a tribute to this great pious personality through the 64th Ahmedabad Art Weekly.
