A headline takes ten minutes. A verdict takes ten years. Most of us decide in the gap.
Congratulations to @ArtofLiving and everyone who held the line.
Disclosure: I teach these programs now. In 2016 I didn't. I was just in the crowd.

Ten years ago, a festival on the Yamuna floodplains was fined ₹5 crore and spent a decade being described as an ecological disaster.
Last week the Supreme Court set the finding aside.
What the judgment actually says 🧵

@Gurudev's response was four words and a receipt.
"Patience pays. Truth triumphs."
He quote-tweeted his own official statement from April 2017. Nine years apart, same position, unchanged.

X has activated a special custom hashtag emoji and promotional features for Yash's movie Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups whenever fans use specific promotional hashtags like #Toxic, #ToxicTheMovie, or #ToxicMovie
I wonder how collaboration like this works behind the scenes?
The committee that assessed the damage admitted it couldn't reliably determine the site's condition before the event.
You can't attribute a change you never had a baseline for. Ten years and a Supreme Court bench to say that.

I am so happy to see the great vindication of The Art of Living and Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
In a a remarkable ruling The Indian 🇮🇳 Supreme Court this week set aside the anccusations against The Art of Living for alleged environment damage during World Culture festival in 2016. It clarified what many of us always knew - that no environmental damage was done.
After a decade-long fight, truth has triumphed. It has taken ten years - no less.
I still recall visiting India during the World Cultural Festival 2016. There was an unprecedented media frenzy on the Yamuna River event attacking it morning, midday, evening. The Supreme Court ruling should act as a severe warning against such one sided media onslaughts.
The World Culture Festival 2016 was a historic celebration of India’s cultural heritage and soft power, bringing together 3.5 million people from 155 countries, including world leaders, heads of state, 37,000 artists and 2,500 spiritual leaders. It was inaugurated by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. It was unprecedented in size.
My warmest congratulations to Gurudev Sri Sri and the entire Art of Living family! This is a day of huge relief. It inspires to future good work for india and the world.
