Over 37,000 artists from around the
world performed on the 7-acre stage, exhibiting their talent to echo the
message of unity in diversity on the Art of Livings world cultural festival.
The World Culture Festival is a
celebration of The Art of Living’s 35 years of ‘service, humanity, spirituality
and human values’.Though the festival has come under fire for its
ecologically-sensitive venue, it was given the go-ahead by the National Green
Tribunal (NGT) saying that the Art of Living Foundation hasn’t done anything
wrong.
The festival strives itself on
creating a ‘stress-free, violence free-society, promoting peace, putting smiles
on everyone’s faces and walking the path together’.
It aims to foster a deep
understanding between different people and backgrounds, by showcasing rich
cultural traditions of dance, music and the arts from around the world.
Honourable Prime Minister Narendra
Modi rightfully mentioned in his speech at the World Culture Festival that
festival of such scale is like the 'Kumbh Mela' of Culture. And just like
Indians believe that anything holy and noble is performed on the banks of a
holy river similarly the World Culture Festival. A vision of noted humanitarian
and spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the World Culture festival was
perceived and implemented as a peace mission to bring the world closer.
