Dear Gurudev, what is the best way to connect with the master? Not all of us get the chance to spend quality time in your physical presence. When I don't chase you I somehow feel I am missing out.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

No,take up some creative work. You know the whole day I am busy attending to the many projects that we have taken on. This morning we had a meeting about a ‘Welcome Home Project’. Did you know that 22 veterans committed suicide every single day in this country in 2014? They have still not published the numbers for 2015; we need to stop this!
I feel so obliged. We have the knowledge here, this can save the lives of millions of people, we must make this knowledge available to them. We had a meeting about it this morning. Michael has made the movie and Tom has acted in it. So, you also take up some project.

We also had a discussion with the Yes! team for programs in schools. They are doing such good work, they were telling me stories about how school children and teachers are getting transformed.

I met with the Overseas Volunteers for a Better India (OVBI) group, they are doing excellent work. Similarly, there are so many programs happening, IAHV is doing some beautiful work here in this campus. I get reports on how it is going in the medical community in Long Island and other places. So you also take up some work or start writing something, then you will also feel that you are close to me, that's it!

I am always available. I always meet people, anybody, and everybody!
