BANGALORE: Social activist Anna Hazare along with Arvind Kejriwal and Swami Agnivesh, called upon Art of Living Founder, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar to urge thousands of people gathered to stand strong against corruption.
The gathering was addressed at The Art of Living International Centre. Thanking the spiritual leader and thousands of volunteers for their immense support and guidance, Anna Hazare said, “Every single person should encourage others to join the movement and work for a corruption-free India. To lead the fight against corruption it is important to abide by five things — good values, a clean background, love and courage to face insults and sacrifice. “
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar present at the event said, “Corruption begins where belongingness ends. What belongs to you will come your way, so make an honest living.”
Expressing his gratitude to Sri Sri, Arvind Kejriwal shared, “We didn’t know this fight would become so big. I thank The Art of Living and Sri Sri who guided us on every step.” Addressing the gathering, Swami Agnivesh said, “It is time now, we come together and wipe off corruption from the country with support of the common man and strive towards becoming a prosperous nation.” Anna also launched a book titled You-Turn India, written by Dr DK and Dr Hema Hari. The book focuses on the three waves of plunder that India has gone through — one during Mohammad Gauri, second during the British era and the third by the Indians themselves.
The Art of Living centers had played a vital role by participating in ‘India Against Corruption’ rallies in places like Shimla, Indore, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Pune, Kolhapur, Nasik, and many areas of Uttar Pradesh.
