Pushti Puroshottam Shri Krishna from Janmabhoomi to Karmabhoomi in his lifetime

Vraj to Mewar later have been portrayed in a mesmerizing way. Shri Krishna
belongs to me, you and everyone. I wish the music of this mega musical be
played in every household, not only in India but across the globe. The way Shri
Krishna’s love for Radhaji and of Dwarkadheesh’s for Rukmaniji has been blended
in the musical has touched my heart,”said Shri Bhupeshkumarji (Vishal Bawa), the heir

by the overwhelming response to the premiere and first show of this mega musical ‘Rajadhiraaj: Love Life
Leela.’ The audience was profoundly moved by the immersive and enchanting
journey through Shri Krishna's divine story. The biggest compliment I would say
is that there is not even one person who said they didn’t get goosebumps
listening to the music and live singing. Everyone loved it. We have achieved
what we always wished for — that this reaches the people, especially the
younger generation.This is a musical play, which younger kids will love for
entertainment and will leave with some learning from Shri Krishna’s life. Those
who believe in Krishna will believe more in him. So, by all means, it is going
have a great impact on every person."
