Guru Swarup Srivastava understands Significance of International Yoga Day through Lifestyles of Famous Personalities

You can speak for hours with Guru Swarup Srivastava regarding Indian art and culture still he is not short of topics or energy. A man of soft heart with big dreams for the country wants to see India at the top in every aspect. Mr. Srivastava is an avid art collector- a matter known to the world well. Since 2004 when he bought a hundred beautiful paintings of MF Hussain, he came in the new. It was a 100-crore deal and his fraternity was overwhelmed to know that deal. Perhaps, Mr. Srivastava was the first person who showed the industrialist of his quality that paintings of maestros could be a great personal investment. Since then, his tryst with MF Hussain always came in news for different reasons but ultimately the relationship between an industrialist and painter made the fetched many good moments for both. The world of artists, craftsmen, and painters also got the motivation. They understood they have huge value in this country and abroad.

MF Hussain was always Mr. Srivastava’s inspiration

Guru Swarup Srivastava didn’t miss any occasion to learn about life and paintings in every meeting with the maestro. MF Hussain’s simple lifestyle attracted him very much. On the other hand, the master painter was never shy away discussing anything for hours from the core of his heart when the other person was Guru Swarup. On one such occasion, the master painter explained the necessity of a regulated lifestyle to be productive even at ripened age. He said that “Brajrasana” is the best posture for every artist while painting. Guru Swarup Srivastava shared the ace painter’s keen interest in Indian Yoga and food habits. Perhaps, it was the reason, MF Hussain lived an active life till his last breath. Even at 96, MF Hussain, as Mr. Srivastava saw, could drive for miles on his own. Mr. Srivastava was amazed to see his energy and dedication to art.

On the International Yoga Day, Mr. Srivastava thought it was the best occasion to open up the “long-life” secret of the master painter. Yoga, timely eating, regulated eating, and happy life was MF Hussain’s mantra for a long and active life.

Guru Swarup wants to fulfill the wishes of MF Hussain

Guru Swarup Srivastava knows two unfulfilled dreams of MF Hussain. The master painter had a wish to arrange a seminar-cum-workshop in a moonlit night at the Taj Mahal of the most famous painters of the world. His other wish was to establish an International Art Museum in India. He had even thought of its name and design too. He wanted to name the museum as the Hussain Swarup International art museum.

Guru Swarup Srivastava is a person with multiple recognition – an internationally acclaimed social worker, art collector, film producer, and a successful industrialist. He thinks International Yoga Day is the perfect occasion to know famous Indian personalities who through their work made us proud.
