Guruji, in our land women are worshiped, even then I don’t feel safe in Delhi. What to do?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: If we all form groups and work together we can remove the violence that we see today from the society and from the country.
Recently in the North East district we had a one day course for 360 people who were criminals, dacoits, drug peddlers, robbers, etc. And after the course, they all have spoken of how their lives have transformed and how much change they see in themselves. It is worth listening to their experiences. Many of them are now part of seva projects, and they have started a library of their own.
90% crime rate has come down in one district of the North East area and this transformation has brought so much hope.
If it can happen in North East, it can happen in the entire Delhi. Yes or no?
But for this we will all have to work together.
So many teachers came together and they spent time with these people. They taught them Kriya and taught them about life. Many were relived of the pain inside them and that is how the transformation happened.
No one is bad. If is only when one is hurt from the inside that they do bad things. When you apply balm to the wound then they become good!
