On Friday, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar held a meditation programme in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE). On the occasion, he imparted lessons on how to lead a happy and stress-free life to nearly 5,000 migrant workers from 20 countries, including Pakistan.
While addressing the workers at the Sharjah Expo Centre, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explained how one can lead a happy and stress-free life through ancient techniques of meditation. He also noted that manpower from India played a major role in the development of the UAE.
Earlier in the day, the spiritual guru visited a labour camp for South Asians in Sharjah and held a discourse on happiness. Around 1,000 people from 10 countries took part in the happiness programme organised by the local chapter of the AOL at the labour camp.
The discourse was also attended by a large gathering, including women members from the royal family of the UAE. On Friday, Sri Sri held a session at a football stadium in Fujairah that saw a participation of thousands of people, including women and children.
The Art of Living (AOL) founder is visiting the Emirates for the first time. He embarked on a four-day tour to the UAE on Thursday on an invitation from the ruler of Fujairah, Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi.
