World Culture Festival - Celebrating Life
28th November 2006 - Mohiniyattam (Cochin, Kerala, India)
Празнуване на културите
Всички ние сме част от един и същи свят, макар да изразяваме себе си по различен начин - чрез дрехи, храна, музика, танци, фестивали. Чрез култура. Културата ни обединява и показва нашето разнообразие. Радостта, която културата ни носи, отеква по целия свят. Когато празнуваме културата, празнуваме нашите отношения и се радваме на различните начини на изразяване на споделеността. Изграждайки мостове между хората и нациите, е култура, която запазва нашите корени и заздравява нашите връзки.
През изминалото десетилетие, "Изкуството да живееш" изигра важна роля в даването на платформа на хората да покажат своята култура. От организирането на най-големият ансамбъл на гайдари до провеждането на най-голямото вегетарианско изложение в света. Броят на хората, които участваха и подкрепиха тези събития само се е увеличил през последните години. Някои от тези празненства са отбелязани от рекордите на Гинес като забележителни подвизи.
