The World Culture Festival::Part 1

Here is an attempt to capture the unprecedented World Culture Festival 2016 which is now in the golden books. It all started with Guruji’s thought of bringing people together for a private function of whole world. The mere feeling to be there was an excitement and experience in itself.

I would like to share couple of my personal experiences and observations in this blog.

 

Delhi Chalo

I recollect my history books where the slogan was always for Dharna and pull down others. Guruji’s message Delhi chalo was “ Dil se Delhi chalo” .The whole world was congregating to celebrate the world culture festival,2016. 

 

Yamuna was, is and will be.

In Indian history, there was a serpent Kaliya who had polluted Yamuna with his poison. Krishna has to do a cultural festival on its 7 hoods. In modern context, Yamuna cannot be polluted anymore. This cultural festival stage spread in 7 acres was a dance of awareness to make all of us wake up and take responsibility. Rejuvenating Rivers is like reliving the life. I am getting goose bumps to digest this thought of Guruji picking up this location. The only take away home is that, Can we leave Yamunaji in a better shape for our coming generations?

 

 

The Rain and the Rainbow.

 

8500 artist were eager to perform and I believe even the angels wanted to bookmark their presence. Wind, Rains, hailstorm, sun and the rainbow. We felt that Gods were witnessing the biggest possible Yagya on the planet earth.

 

Bring down the Heaven

 

 

 

Only a lit light can lit others. It feels that the entire heaven came down to celebrate Sri Sri message of Love, Peace and service.

 

The power of Sankalpa Shakti

 

 

The power of Sankalpa leads to the manifestation of the good despite all odds. The WCF event and meditation has definitely lead us to a much needed awareness and belongingness to create border less nations. We can have Pakistan Jindabad and Jay Hind together as a win-win situation.

 

Being a volunteer is being available despite all odds.

 

 

Day 3 of WCF, while driving towards the venue and we realized that Kunwarji was not well. Dr Rachnaji suggested that he should take a Paracetamol. I asked one of the volunteers who was guiding the massive crowd where to get the medicine. He happily opened his bag and offered one to me, I was astonished, how come he is carrying the medicines. He told that he also had been suffering from fever last 2-3 days as he got wet in rains, despite that his commitment to do service really touched us. And like him, our entire AOL family was serving everyone with an undying smile.

 

Whats next?

This is my food for thought. I will share some more insights in Part2.
