However, The Foundation and Sri Sri Ravishankar were embroiled in a controversy in 2016. Art Of Living’s World Cultural Festival was held on the Yamuna flood plains in the National Capital from March 11 to March 13, 2016 to celebrate 35 years of its service.
India Today has reported that, The agency has been in focus for past few weeks thanks to a high-profile, bitter and public feud between CBI Director Alok Verma and his deputy, Special Director Rakesh Asthana.
The government sent both of them on mandatory leave. Following the report, The SC has given the agency’s charge to Joint Director M Nageswara Rao and asked him to not take any “policy decision”.

While the News laundry Team stating that, It’s no secret that things at India’s premier investigating agency haven’t exactly been great. With bitter infighting, tit-for-tat FIRs and probes, and the agency’s very own ‘snoopgate’, the agency has been in news for more than a month now.
And you know the proverbial shit has truly hit the fan when the agency decides to send about 150 of its officials to attend Double Sri’s Art of Living workshop “for enhancing positivity in CBI”. The course will apparently enhance synergy and generate a ‘healthy atmosphere in the agency’. A little too late for that, we’d say, but no harming in trying, News.
The event notification soon evoked guffaws and humorous comments on social as well as mainstream media, several attempts stating that now a temple, mosque and church should also be built inside the CBI headquartes and even that now the cases would be concluded by parrots and cards.
The event, however, seems that the PM Narendra Modi government is taking refuge in Ram temple matter to divert attention from the controversies of serious issues, and CBI is turning to ‘spirituality’ in the hope to generate a positive environment. And so, just before the next hearing of the case in the SC, the Agency has organised an Art of Living workshop, through leading spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
