Encouraging to see 120+ social and spiritual organizations brought together by Hon. Prime Minister @narendramodi for the Drug-Free India campaign. It would be wonderful to document the pedagogy, protocols, and success stories of each organization so the most effective models can be shared and scaled nationwide.
Here are some of the highlights of the Art of Living’s contribution to the Drug-Free India campaign.

Art of Living pioneered the 'Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan' more than a decade ago. Since then, over 1 crore 80 lakh youth across the country - from Kashmir to Kanyakumari - have taken the pledge against substance abuse through programs conducted in numerous colleges and educational institutions. The movement has also played a significant role in the rehabilitation of lakhs of young people.
I am glad that the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji has now taken up this mission nationwide on a larger scale.
Law enforcement officials from North Carolina recently visited the Boone Ashram to express their heartfelt gratitude and share the many positive benefits they have experienced through the Art of Living programs taught by senior teacher Patti Montella.
Relationships begin the moment you are born. If there is one presence that nurtures every relationship and transcends them all, it is the Guru. The moment you recognize that you have a Guru, you can never feel orphaned or lonely. Happy Guru Purnima.

The voices of India’s youth deserve to be heard with patience. A breakdown in communication serves no one and is deeply unfortunate. Very sorry to see the current state of affairs.
Even as war continues in parts of the world, life reminds us of our shared humanity.
