GURU OF Joy, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shanker Ji, the founder of the Art of Living, an international non-government organisation (NGO) working in more than 160 countries around the globe visited Lovely Professional University.
 
He was warmly greeted at the University Square by the Chairman of the Lovely Group, Ramesh Mittal, vice chairman Naresh Mittal, chancellor of university Ashok Mittal, director general HR Singla and executive dean Rashmi Mittal.
 
Out of his lecture series schedule, he had to have an interaction session with the students, members of the staff and registered visitors to satisfy their different queries in relation to their life and peaceful existence in this world. The theme of the session was ‘Life is Joy, Life is Love, Life is Enthusiasm’. This session was held on the second day of the four days event ‘Utsav’ organised by the students. It was specially organised to have free talk through great spiritual learning of His Holiness.

According a vast hug to a multitude of students from the stage and answering smilingly to the many posed questions, he was mainly and primarily of the opinion that ‘a youth is one whose smile never disappears, enthusiasm never dies and who never loses an opportunity to excel. It is a great mixture of emotions and reasons to form a healthy nation’.
 
He gave great message to the students: “Carry your enthusiasm, create your own positive environment of belief and confidence. Be always on the driving seat to steer the way. Awake, arise and take up the leadership of the country for betterment casting aside all ills, misconducts and unethical means.” He answered all questions related to studies, love, marriage, family problems, memory-power, failure, food, strength etc on positive notes and directed to follow the Indian values of yoga, meditation, herbal power and other ethics.

On this great occasion, appreciating the students for their great endeavour, the chancellor of the University, Ashok Mittal said: “Our University always wants the students to get enlightened not only academically but spiritually also. In fact, spiritual connectivity for youth of today is very essential. That is why Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji was specially requested to bless the students through his mesmerising teachings and experiences of great values. Our University will try to ensure that his teachings should be carried forward to have peaceful existence in this world, otherwise full of continuous strives and struggles.”

Sri Sri is an epitome of compassion, wit and wisdom. He is ranked among the top five most influential Indians in the world by a leading magazine; he is invited by government of various nations to resolve conflict and nominated twice for Nobel Peace Prize. On this occasion, international AOL singer and youth icon, Siddarth Mohan conducted a spiritual youth concert also. Along with him the directors of WAYE (World Alliance for Youth Empowerment), Dinesh Ghodke and Khurshed Batliwala, were also present.

It is also worth noticing that around 4000 students of LPU have already undergone ‘Utsav’ - a workshop of The Art of Living since April, 2008. Since May,2010, four Utsav workshops have already been held, wherein, students have experienced the bliss and peace, realising their true potential; freedom from stress; enhancing their confidence, concentration and clarity of mind. This year, more than 300 students are attending the workshop at the University being held by YES! and faculty members Vivek Vansal, Salony Kalra and Dr Jasminder Virk, who are devotedly and regularly looking after this spiritual outcome.
