QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
POSTED ON: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2022
Q: When I was coming here today, one of my friends in Dubai sent me an SMS asking me to record your voice and send him the audio and also ask you to bless him. He has never met you but has seen so many of your knowledge talks on YouTube. The amazing thing is that there are so many people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi (UAE) who regularly listen to your talks and videos and get relief from stress. What would you want to say?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
Yes, this is a great gift of the modern technology. It is because of these technological advances that today we can reach out to every corner of the world.
Knowledge which till now was held secret by certain people or communities is now able to reach so many people. We can share our knowledge with far more people now because of technology and the Internet. And this is why I chose to open the doors of knowledge to everybody.This knowledge is so precious and is not for being restricted to people of any one particular religion or community. This knowledge belongs to the entire humanity everywhere. All of mankind can be greatly benefited by this knowledge regardless of whichever religion or faith they follow.
Along with religion, I feel that following certain practices that bring peace and happiness to the mind and spirit is also very important and should be a part of everyone’s life. Such practices help strengthen the body, make the mind and heart blossom in joy, and sharpen the intellect. I think everyone needs access to such knowledge. This is why I thought about taking this knowledge to every home following our ancient Indian motto – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the whole world is one family). The Art of Living began with this intention.
