“It has been
noticed that life-skills training techniques like Yoga and meditation can be
extremely potent methods for personality development, enhancement of emotional
quotient and employability and also stress related issues and depression in the
youth.” - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Inspired by
founder of Art Of Living, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the Art of Living along with UN Agencies, NGOs
and civil society, launched Volunteer For a Better India (VFABI) on 5 December
2012.
"Give one hour
to the nation. The country has problems because good people are apathetic.
Youth must take charge and Volunteer for a Better India", Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar appealed.
VFABI involved
itself in many public activities, including the protest against the Nirbhaya
Gang Rape Case of 2012, free health camps, and voter awareness and
registrations in India.
In March 2013, Sri
Sri Ravi Shankar Guruji launched NONVIO - a nation-wide movement against
violence. Individuals were requested to pledge one act of non-violence through
different social and on-line media and adopt nonviolent principles in
government, public health and media.
