 Q: How well does being religious help me in my spiritual quest? 

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: It is a different dimension. A little bit of religiosity is good in life. It adds a flavor which is needed both for yourself and for the society to continue.

 You don’t need to go to a temple, a church or a mosque to pray and meditate. But just imagine if nobody goes, what will happen to all these temples? If everyone says, 'God is in my home, in my heart, and everywhere sit', for one generation it is okay, but what will happen to the coming generations? This whole system will collapse.

 We need to preserve this ancient system and ancient culture itself, the world heritage. So temples are not just a place to find God, it is also a place of socio-cultural activities. So even in that sense, I feel it is good to keep that heritage alive.
