Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message of non-violence in response of Attack

An unidentified gunman attacked on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on 30 May in Art of Living Bangalore Ashram. Sri Sri again showed that the path of non-violence can only be achieved by collective effort of practicing meditation and taking the knowledge of life & self to every single human being on this planet. Then automatically this kind of incidents will not happen. Guruji (Sri Sri) next morning responded to press conference and again he proved to us that he is an ocean of compassion and embodiment of love. Sri Sri simply forgiven the gunman and invited him to sit in satsang in Art of Living Ashram in Bangalore. See video

This is a vital sûtra. Shraddha means faith. Faith makes your consciousness stable, steady and solid. Doubt in the consciousness makes you vulnerable, fearful and uncertain. Faith brings out the totality in you. It pulls together all loose ends of consciousness. It integrates your whole personality. Doubt scatters you. Doubt destroys you. Doubt disseminates you and your energy. Doubt is something that pulls you apart. Dissemination of energy is doubt. Consolidation of your energy is faith. Are you getting what I am saying? The very feeling of your having faith is a sort of consolidation. That is why Jesus always said that faith is your strength. They are synonymous — faith and strength.
