Jaipur, 23 October. Governor Shri Haribhaau Bagde attended the ceremony marking the 45th anniversary of the Art of Living’s founding in Bengaluru. During the event he conversed with founder Shri Shri Ravishankar and said that celebrating his 70th birthday in the spirit of good governance, social harmony, peace and sustainable development was significant.
He praised Shri Shri Ravishankar’s role in the programme held in his honour for human values, peace and harmony and for promoting India’s eternal culture internationally. He said that the eternal culture emphasises human values.
Speaking of Shri Shri Ravishankar’s contribution to the knowledge tradition, he said that knowledge does not fear death.
