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
