5. WOW Project – Wisdom on Wheels.
This idea is a utopian wish of a devotee:
“ Wouldn’t it would be great, if we had an ‘Art of living’ Caravan, which would travel from one
village/city to another, travel along the river Ganga! “
• Starting the day with Surya-Namaskars & Kriya
• Sewa during the day
• Satsang, meditation & knowledge talks in the evening
Being a living example of the ‘Art of Living’ way of life & giving the taste of this joy to others,
inspiring them to do the Part1 course & be a part of the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
