Patna: Sri Sri Ravishankar, the founder of the Art of Living, is set to participate in the Ujjawal Bihar Mahasatsang at Gandhi Maidan, Patna, on March 7. The spiritual leader is expected to encourage attendees to embrace yoga, meditation, knowledge, and spirituality. The event, organised under his guidance, will also offer insights into leading a stress-free life.
Swami Paramatej of the Art of Living shared details of the event during a recent press briefing in Patna. He revealed that the preserved remains of the Somnath Jyotirlinga, safeguarded for generations by Agnihotra Brahmin Sitaram Shastri from Tamil Nadu, would be ceremoniously placed by Sri Sri Ravishankar in Patna.
A highlight of the event will be a performance by 1,001 girl students presenting the Maithili folk dance ‘Jhijhiya’, coordinated by the Ninaad organisation. A 25,000-square-foot stage is being constructed for the cultural segment.
The programme is receiving support from the Bihar government’s Art, Culture and Youth Department, Health Department, Prohibition Department, and Patna Municipal Corporation. The Adhyatmik Satsang Samiti is actively involved in organising the event. Committee president Kamal Nopani said attendees would be able to enter Gandhi Maidan through gates 5, 7, and 8. Invitations have been extended to several ministers and administrative officials, including the chief minister and the governor.
Jyoti Sinha of the Art of Living outlined Sri Sri Ravishankar’s Bihar itinerary, which begins in Aurangabad on the morning of March 7. The Patna event will take place in the evening, followed by sessions in Purnia on March 8, Khagaria and Bhagalpur on March 9, and Munger and Bodh Gaya on March 10.
