In a compelling convergence of governance and spirituality, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, and senior leader Manish Sisodia made a high-profile visit to the iconic Art of Living Ashram in Bengaluru. The power-packed delegation arrived to personally extend their warmest congratulations to global spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar as the Art of Living Foundation celebrates a monumental milestone: 45 years of transformative service to humanity.
The atmosphere at the tranquil Bengaluru sanctuary turned vibrant as the top leadership gathered to honor the organization’s massive international legacy. Taking to social media platform X, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar expressed his gratitude to the visiting leaders, highlighting their heartfelt appreciation for the foundation’s grassroots initiatives.
During their engaging interaction, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and party leaders lauded the foundation’s pioneering efforts in two critical areas—empowering rural farmers and driving aggressive de-addiction campaigns. With Punjab actively battling substance abuse and working to revolutionize agricultural practices, the AAP leadership’s spotlight on Sri Sri’s sustainable farming models and holistic rehabilitation programs holds immense significance. The Art of Living’s natural farming workshops and community-led de-addiction centers have already impacted millions across India, offering a proven blueprint for social rejuvenation.
This milestone meeting underscores a shared commitment toward social welfare, blending policy vision with spiritual intervention to tackle deep-rooted societal challenges. As the Art of Living steps into its 45th year, its expansive reach across rural development, river rejuvenation, and mental wellness continues to draw admiration from leaders across the political spectrum. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar warmly thanked Mann, Kejriwal, and Sisodia for their gracious visit and unwavering support of the foundation’s mission to build a stress-free, violence-free society.
