The
Art of Living, a global movement founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, has announced
the dates for the World Culture Festival. To be held between March 11-13, 2016,
the festival will bring together people from different cultures, nations and
faiths as a One World Family in a
resounding message of peace.
‘World Culture
Festival' (WCF) is expected to host millions of people from over 155 countries
in New Delhi. The event is supported by the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry
of Tourism and the Government of India.
Speaking on
this grand celebration, World Culture Festival 2016, Art of Living founder, Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar said, "We are a part of one humanity and we express
ourselves differently through music, art and food. Celebrating our diverse
cultures binds us together and expands our perspectives. The World Culture
Festival emphasizes on co-existence, demonstrating the power of peace by
bringing millions of people together. It is an opportunity for world leaders
from cultural, social, political, business fields to come together to
rekindle human values in the pursuit of happiness and peace."
The 3-day grand festival
will have a massive 7-acre stage to seat thousands of artists, dignitaries and
guests with an objective to bring a wide variety of music, dance and other art
forms from India and across the globe on one platform and keep it alive for
future generations. On all three days of the festival, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
will lead a ‘Peace Meditation’ which would be joined by millions from across
the globe.
Many eminent guests and
global leaders from diverse fields and nationalities have confirmed their
presence for the global event. The Philippine chapter of Art of Living is
working on sending a troop of over 100 dancers from Tacloban to represent the
country on this Global stage. The chapter is looking for sponsors and donors
who would like to contribute and make it possible for the Buyogan Festival cultural performers to travel to India. It would
be a shining moment for Tacloban – an area than has reeled in challenges in the
aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda.

Several graduates of the
Art of Living programs as well as those who are simply interested to be part of
a Global Peace effort are also making plans to represent the Philippines and
attend this historic event. Filipinos who have been keen to visit India may
also see this as a great opportunity. The Art of Living Foundation can help
with tour packages and travel arrangements.
