“THE HIGH degree combination of intelligence and responsibility in Sri Ravishankarji attracted me to Art of Living. Art of Living offers solution-oriented programmes in a world filled with complaints and problems,” said Art of Living programme director Vikram Hazra at a meet the press programme today.
Hazra was in the City for the ‘Journey to the Soul’ event held at Abhay Prashal yesterday. Hazra further said that Art of Living has presence in 146 countries and has become a soulful experience for many.
When asked about the dropout rate of people who join Art of Living in large numbers, Hazra said that each person comes to this association with individual motive. Some of them drop out when they achieve their goal. He further said that most of the dropouts are patients who leave Art of Living after getting cured.
According to Hazra, Art of Living has three main avenues of work namely Self-Development Programmes, Service Programmes and Propagation Programmes. The courses offered by Art of Living are paid courses, he said. Along with spirituality and contentment, Art of Living has many welfare programmes based on scientific methods of awareness in rural areas.
Musical programme
‘JOURNEY TO The Soul’ musical night by Art of Living programme director Vikram Hazra was held in Abhay Prashal on Monday.
The programme began with garlanding of portrait of Sri Sri Ravishankar. Crowds began flowing into Abhay Prashal at around 9.00 pm. Hazra presented devotional songs and Bhajans to start with. He was clad in saffron kurta and played guitar and flute in between his songs.
Songs like ‘Radhe Radhe Govind Gopal’ lent warmth to the audience in the chilly winter night. Hazra spoke about spirituality and inner peace in brief sentences amidst the Bhajans. The audience was moved by the aura of devotion created by Hazra’s songs. They even danced along to his songs towards the end of the programme. Kamlesh Sojatia and Govind Soni welcomed Vikram Hazra.
