uruji, I lost my father four years back, and since then I am unable to concentrate on academics. What should I do to improve academically, so that I can make him proud of me?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Do YES course. Don't worry. Your father's blessing is with you. Move on.
All the youth here, I want you to move forward. Let us create a bright future for India.
In foreign countries what they do is, they take a sabbatical - take one year off from studies or work and work for the country or on any other project.
I want that some of you, in fact I would prefer all of you to come forward for one year. We should go from village to village and visit the slums of Mumbai, (we are running a school in Dharavi) and take on responsibility, there is a lot we can do. We will be able to bring all the suicides to a stop. We can be of use to the society.
All of you who wish to volunteer should register. Make our country proud; make our country really strong. I want to see a society where there is no corruption, no injustice, no violence and no stress.
A society where humanity flourishes and love is visible everywhere.
I want all of you to become volunteers, and see a corruption-free society, violence-free society. Let's all join hands.
