Q: How did you come up with Sudarshan Kriya?
A: I used to teach yoga and meditation before that too. But I felt that there wa
s something missing, something more needs to be done, it didnt feel complete. Lik
e something was on the way. So I went into silence for 10 days, on the banks of
the River Tungabhadra, near Shimoga, Karnataka. After that, there were some 30 o
dd people from the city who asked me to say something. And then I started speaki
ng, and in that moment I taught them (the Sudarshan Kriya) and I also learnt it
at the same time. It came out of me like a poem arises within a poet, through in
spiration. I never used my intellect for it. This is called antahsparana. Its like
downloading, not like composing. You download something which is already there.
Our brain is like a super computer. You can download a lot of things!

In the Puranas, there were good qualities ascribed to every character so that yo

While were on the subject of breathing, Nadi Shodhana is a wonderfully energizing
form of pranayama. All of these specific types of breathing are not what we are
used to in the West. But think about it if you are willing to believe that a lit
tle vial of some mystery crap called 5-hour energy at the gas station checkout r
egister can boost your energy, why not try a simple breathing technique for a fe
w minutes instead? I like to take a few minutes of Nadi Shodhana practice while
my afternoon tea is brewing
Forgiveness is not for other s sake. You forgive to save your own mind. - @SriSr

Q) Gurudev Facebook and Twitter has become a new battlefield causing religious d
ifferences. How do we tackle it
Sri Sri : Social media should not be blamed. it only shows the mentality of our
people. Social behavior must be taught from the beginning. Entertainment media i
s also equally responsible for such aggressive and nasty behavior - Sri Sri now

When you respect someone, it only shows your own magnanimity. How many people yo
u don t respect in the world, that much less is your wealth. If you respect ever
yone in the world, that much more is your value. Wiser is the one who respects e
veryone. ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji @SriSriSpeaks

Total dedication brings enormous enthusiasm, zeal, trust & challenge and does no
t leave any room for ego.
Ques: How to rekindle the sense of wonder??
# SriSri : Just be in the moment, feel fresh and alive! See the entire past as a drea
m and doubt the present as to whether this could be a dream, then you are alread
y in wonderment.
"The goal of sex is to be in the Present moment,And spirituality provides the jo
y which is not through an act,but beyond the senses!
They say the joy that you get in sex, if its one unit, Samadhi or meditation is
one thousand times more than that!"

Life itself is there to teach you. If you open your eyes, your behavior itself t
eaches you. - @SriSri today

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Small things done perfectly makes you a big man/woman. So
just dont dream only of big things, start doing small things with utmost care.

You have to know your children, gently guide and swing with them. Sometimes tigh

edom. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Ques: Hanuman is called the remover of all troubles but his followers are all ce
libates. Is it necessary to be a celibate to be a devotee of Hanuman?
# SriSri : No, many married people go to the temples. If with inspiration from Hanuma
n people move ahead is brahmacharya(celibate life), it is good. To unite Rama an
d Sita, Hanuman is needed. Be an ideal husband and be an ideal sevak like Hanuma
n.
A small stone can create great turbulence in a pond. A lake needs a bigger stone
to create turbulence. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If you are on the path, you will get everything you need.

Q) Gurudev, you are an idol to many. Who is your idol?
