JOLLANG, 29 Mar: The Art of Living (AoL) held the inaugural ‘Somnath Samvaad Parv’ at its premises here on Saturday, marking the beginning of a journey across the districts of Arunachal Pradesh, aimed at weaving together the threads of ancient spiritual heritage and modern community service.
The event, born from a collaboration between the AoL and the art and culture department, under the guidance of the union culture ministry, began with a simple yet powerful invocation for peace. Participants were led through a deep exploration of the Somnath Jyotirling – not just as a monument, but as a unique symbol of resilience and spiritual composition that continues to inspire millions.
One of the main highlights of the day was a moving audiovisual presentation by Swami Advaiithaananda.
A senior teacher, who has dedicated 27 years to the AoL, Swami Advaiithaananda shared insights from a lifetime of service. His work in conducting transformative workshops on ‘Sudarshan Kriya’ and meditation served as a reminder of the profound impact that holistic wellbeing can have on both the individual and the community.
