Culture is a powerful tool for human survival, but it is a fragile phenomena. Culture is that one common bond, which brings the people of a community together. The customs and traditions that the people of a community follow, the festivals they celebrate, the kind of clothing they wear, the food they eat, and most importantly, the cultural values they adhere to, bind them together. Culture is a product of constant human interactions. It is constantly changing and can be easily lost because it exists only in our minds. It is important for the society to preserve its culture as a community gains a character and a personality of its own, because of the culture of its people. Culture is shared by the members of a community. It is learned and passed from the older generations to the newer ones.
Culture helps in render a sense of individualism to a community and also has the ability to create a regional and social harmony. Culture is often defined as an invisible, social-control mechanism wherein people start interpreting the cultural values that have been passed on to them as the benchmarks for how they should function. In today’s diverse economy that we are living in, wherein people from different corners of the globe are increasingly intermingling with each other, understanding of different cultural aspects enable develop some degree of understanding of faraway nations and communities, helping them become better informed, more tolerant and better citizens.
Festivals are a great medium to remind people of the prevailing culture in the community especially in today’s fast paced life style. Festivals rejuvenate and reinforce the culture in the society and play a very important role in the human society. Festivals kindle the spirit of joy and celebration in the hearts and mind of the people and make a lasting impression of the prevailing culture.
Envision the power of culture and festival by attending ‘World Cultural Festival’- a festival celebrating 30 years of the Art of Living Foundation, a one world family that weaves the people of several different countries and cultures into a common thread of wisdom and spirituality.
