Ladakh Flood Relief Water Filters Have Been Donated For The Flood Victims
Following the colossal damage after the floods in Ladakh on August 5, The Art of Living began trauma relief efforts in the district. Ladakh witnessed a cloudburst and flash floods and mudslides, leaving 197 dead, including 10 army personnel. The first step has been to supply water filters and relief material to 1000 affected families in Leh. In addition Mr. Rajendra Dhawan, trustee, Sri Sri Rural Development Program, and Mr. Damodaran, psychologist and trauma expert, have begun conducting trauma relief workshops in two camps (Project Himank camp and Gompa Gatsal in Choglamsar near Leh). Over 150 people have benefitted from the workshop. Mr. Dhawan and Mr. Damodaran met Hon. N.N. Vohra, Governor, Jammu and Kashmir at the Project Himank camp. Mr. Damodaran explained the effects of the Breath-Water-Sound workshops on trauma victims and shared experiences of tsunami victims. While appreciating the efforts of The Art of Living, the Governor invited Sri Sri to meet the separatist leaders and break the deadlock. Future plansIn order to reach out to more people in Ladakh, The Art of Living team will be training residents to conduct Breath-water-Sound workshops. A Youth Leadership Training Program will also be held for 40-50 youth.

I only hope other people are lucky enough to take this course. It has given me more help than I could have ever imagined possible. Thank you.”

M. Ali Bankat
"Before this experience, I was sad, depressed and starting to lose hope because of the situation here in Iraq. Now, after only four days, I feel confident in myself – happier, have hopes and dreams again and I feel that life is so beautiful. I have started to love everyone and physically I have much more energy and am able to do more things. I want to thank you very much for helping all of us feel better.”  Quick Links |
