Today, on my birthday, I was deeply honored to receive a citation from Shri Ramesh Prasanna, Secretary General of the International Delphic Council e.V., based in Berlin, Germany. This prestigious recognition was presented to me by Mr. Amit Sharma, President of the Delphic Council Haryana, in the presence of Mr. Love Guglani, Secretary General of the Delphic Council Haryana, and Mr. Sijeet, founder of the Sahibzada Welfare Foundation, Delhi. It was an inspiring and humbling experience to be surrounded by individuals devoted to promoting cultural unity and artistic expression on this special day.
The International Delphic Council is the proud custodian of the Delphic Games, a celebration of the world’s artistic and cultural heritage that dates back to ancient Greece. Known as the “twin sister of the Olympic Games,” the Delphic Games offer a unique platform for artistic expression and the preservation of diverse cultural identities across the globe. These games foster intercultural dialogue and serve as a vibrant forum where people can come together to share, appreciate, and learn from one another’s artistic traditions.
At the heart of the Delphic movement is the belief that arts and culture are powerful agents for peace. By encouraging people from various backgrounds to engage in artistic and cultural exchange, the Delphic Games aim to build bridges between communities, fostering respect and understanding in a world that can often be divided. This movement continues to grow worldwide, gathering artists, performers, and culture bearers on a shared stage of creative expression and harmonious exchange.
Receiving this citation on my birthday is a memorable milestone. I am grateful to Mr. Amit Sharma, Mr. Love Guglani, and Mr. Sijeet for their presence and support on this occasion. This recognition has strengthened my commitment to promoting the Delphic movement’s ideals of peace and unity through art, and I am deeply inspired to contribute further to this noble mission.
As I reflect on this day, I am reminded of the power of collective effort in preserving and celebrating our cultural legacies. The International Delphic Council is not just a promoter of the arts; it is a beacon of unity in diversity, and I am honored to be part of its journey.
