SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAAN AT NITI AAYOG SRI SRI RAVI SHANKAR ADDRESSES THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ON YOGA S ri Sri Ravi Shankar addressed the European Parliament on 'The Yoga Way'. Sri Sri who was invited as a key note speaker spoke on the relevance of yoga besides guiding a meditation and leading a question and answer session. ‘The Yoga Way’ was officially hosted by the European Parliament’s Delegation for Relations with India and endorsed by eleven members of European Parliament. “The Yoga Way” was held in Paul Henri Spaak Building of the European Parliament in Brussels on 21 April. Addressing the eclectic set of members present, Sri Sri said, “From GDP, we are moving to Gross Domestic Happiness (GDH). Yoga can be a useful tool that can aid that. A large percentage of our population today is suffering from depression. Just popping anti-depressants will not help. We need something that is as natural as our breath that we can use and elevate our spirit and feel that much needed happiness.” Throwing light on the power of yoga, Sri Sri added, “ Prejudice based on religion, race, class, gender, education, financial status have clogged the mind of men and that's how conflicts arise in society. Yoga helps us to reach out and resolve this conflict.” It was for the first time in the history of the European Parliament that any event had found resonance amongst members from all the seven political groups in the Parliament.
