Sri Sri Ravi Shankar the founder of Art of Living has implemented many breathing techniques and formulated such courses for the sake of human good. It encompasses breathing techniques, pranayamas, asanas, meditation techniques and many such activities that alleviate stress and helps one to develop leadership qualities, human values and more importantly, helps one to lead a happy life. The goal of his movement is to uplift human beings and flourish the importance and practice of human values among people, countries and communities at large.
Life, he says is celebration and it should be all the days of one’s life. The philosophy is only meditation and yoga without celebration is lame. So that is the reason Art Of Living Foundation has organized the World Culture Festival on the March 11th to 13th of 2016.
This is something not new and Art Of Living has been offering opportunities to people to showcase their culture and wanted to tie a knot among all the world cultures. The attempt was as if that there is no boundary and limitation of culture and culture is all the same as long as it resembles and embodies human values.
World Culture Festival being celebrated on this March in New Delhi is also a festival of culture where all the cultures of the world will meet on a single platform provided by Art of Living foundation.
India represents one of the most ancient cultures and in this festival, the cultures of the world will unite and will be singing and enthralling the public far and wide in the same tune and vibration. This will certainly commemorate that the entire world is ours and we belong to the big universe. India is hosting this function and it is held on the grounds of India. It is also true that for anything good there are both positive and negative comments and criticism too.

One of it is the hindrances to the bio-diversity of the Flood plain of Jamuna river where the function is taking place. In regard to this the founder of Art Of Living already admitted there are 5000 volunteers of Art of Living working there and not even a single tree is cut down. Why not! The organization itself holds these values and one among it is the conservation of the environment. This is also argued that government is also spending funds to sponsor and help the event to happen. That is also one of the negative ways of looking at it as I personally feel that where there is a scope and revenue generation of India as well and where people from different countries will host their events, it is demeaning for the government if it does not lift the face of Indian culture and its representation to the world. The reader may think I am biased but you may be against Art of Living but just think that isn’t it government’s duty to see that the face of India is being uplifted to the world. In this case if the government patronizes, it may not be for Art Of Living but for the nation’s image itself.
We have talked so much but we have forgotten to inform what are the specialties of the programme World Culture Festival 2016. Among portraying the best of the world cultures this festival will bring unison of 10, 000 musicians, yoga aspirants and around 25000 artists from around the globe who will be performing on the same stage to create a picturesque diaspora of culture, dance, music and many other specialties of any region. The experts believe this will be a huge platform for many of the artists who are masters of their own art forms but are in isolation.
