GANGTOK, 02, Nov: To build hope and encourage people to usher in a new dawn of social, economic and spiritual development, Art of Living founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will embark on a 3 day tour of West Bengal beginning November 4, 2011.
Sri Sri will visit Midnapore, Barrackpore, Kharagpur, Siliguri and will be stopping by Kolkata, briefly in transit. During his 3 day trip, he will address lakhs of people over a series of public satsangs and public interactions.
Sri Sri will visit Midnapore on 4 Nov, where he will address people and youth during a public satsang at Nirmal Hriday Missionary School. On the morning of 5 Nov, Sri Sri will address the IITians of Kharagpur as the keynote speaker at an event to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee year of the institute.
He will also conduct a public satsang in the evening at Barrackpore Police Training Ground, Latbagan. From Barrackpore, Sri Sri will travel to Siliguri, where he will lead a public talk and satsang at Kanchenjunga Stadium on 6 Nov. He will also visit the construction site for the upcoming Temple of Knowledge in Siliguri - a place which will serve as a centre for people from all walks of life to come together for achieving inner peace through ancient knowledge and practical breathing techniques. “Over the years, the Art of Living has undertaken many initiatives in this state such as value based education, drug rehabilitation, environmental sustainability and the like. This year marks the 30th anniversary celebrations of The Art of Living and I am glad that Sri Sri will be touring districts of West Bengal to commemorate the occasion”, said social worker and trustee, Vyakti Vikas Kendra India, Bharati Ganguly.
Inspired by Sri Sri’s vision of creating a stress-free and a violence-free society, several service projects and educative stress elimination programs have been operating in West Bengal, under the aegis of The Art of Living. These include free slum schools (in Garcha Harijan Kalyan Sangh colony and Metropolitan Society among others), literacy drives, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation and research centre in Sasthitala, Howrah district and regular medical, blood donation and eye-pledging camps all over the state. Environmental initiatives include tree plantations, cleanliness campaigns (including the project of cleaning and greening of Lilypool Park in Kolkata) and Zero Budget Natural Farming training programs. A latest edition, operating under The Art of Living in West Bengal, is Punarnabha Bangla, a civil society initiative to revive the glory of Bengal by empowering the people to take leadership and accelerate the social, cultural and economic development of the region.
