Dialogue with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

These are the key points discussed by Guruji on 6th International Women Conference held on 11th Feb 2014.

• Whether at home or workplace don't lose your smile for anything in the world.
• See your life from a bigger perspective. Look at this planet. Unfathomable! See your life in context with place & time.
• The world is a bad place due to the inaction of the good people.
• Meditation can be practiced anytime of the day keep gap after meals. It energizes you and refreshes you!
• Just giving charity is not enough. We need to empower people to stand on their own feet.
• Honour every culture at the same time keep the value system intact.
• Yoga is simple exercises and does not conflict with religion. Like Ayurveda has global benefit.
• Spirituality is the value system which unites all religions.
• Too much to do & too little time causes stress! You can overcome any stressful situation through yoga & meditation.
• Looking back at your own past experiences you can draw power to tackle the stress, do some meditation and breathing exercises.
• Science has started to document how breathing and meditation can take people out of negativity.
• Greed is the result of insecurities. When there is not enough love you become greedy!
• Kids should be sensitized towards humanity. Violent games that children play should be banned!
• Abolishing all kinds of intoxicants will help to curb crime to a great extent!
• Keep connecting people & wherever there is misunderstanding we should cool down the tension.
• Prayer happens from gratitude or utter helplessness. Progress comes not just by prayer but by dynamic action!
• A lack of scientific, humanistic, spiritual education makes people inflict violence.
• In the age of technology, it is possible for us to bring our mind to the present moment.
• We were born with the spark. Just be in the present moment & get rid of the stress. Become child like!
