Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji , Organised by BIMTECH , at India Expo Mart , Greater Noida.
“Happiness is when you want nothing and you want to give. Where the wanting and desires end and the sharing begins, happiness is here.”- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on happiness.
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a spiritual leader of global repute, addressed a gathering, bestowed his blessings and enlightened a select gathering of corporate leaders, civil servants, academicians, professionals, and diplomats with his special address on “Success and Happiness “organised by BIMTECH at the India Expo Mart, Greater Noida.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a humanitarian and spiritual leader, an ambassador of peace and human values. Through his life and work, Sri Sri has inspired millions around the world with a vision of a stress-free, violence-free world. He has founded courses like the Art of Living that provide techniques and tools to live a deeper, more joyous life and he has established non-profit organizations that recognize a common human identity above the boundaries of race, nationality, and religion.
The director of BIMTECH Dr H. Chaturvedi commenced the program addressing the gathering and welcoming his holiness with his thoughtful words. Then Sri Sri captivated the audience with his enchanting words and the hall was enveloped in an air of spirituality and enlightenment.
He began his address by differentiating between success and wealth. He said that wealth does not define success, wealth can be stolen, or gained by unethical means. Success is achieved by doing things ethically and in the right manner. To really achieve success or to become successful one should redefine his definition of success, and should not be in a hurry to acquire wealth. One should be patient and persistent to achieve success, and focus on important things in life as we have “attention deficiency”.
He then enlightened the crowd by speaking on happiness. He said, that we cannot be happy until we don’t leave behind the past. Unpleasant memories are the biggest hindrance for one to be happy in the present. He further added, one cannot be happy until his surroundings are unhappy. He then focused on the importance of spreading happiness among others. He said that we should have a nature of spreading happiness and sharing our joy with others.
Taking about India, he said that people have started discarding culture and need to enhance the beauty of our traditions. He further added that not all old is bad and not all new is good. As technology is there for our bodily comfort, in the same way spirituality is there for the comfort our mind and soul. To give a practical experience he asked the audience to meditate along with him.
Eventually, his Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar blessed a mango sapling, which signifies that the fruits of life should be shared with everyone. He ended the memorable and eventful program by saying that we can never be successful and happy until we are at peace with ourselves.
