I have experienced that group meditation works better than sitting isolated and doing meditation. Can you talk on the group meditation verses individual meditation?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, it has some impact. See, we are all energy. So we catch energy from others also. We get influenced by others.
If someone in the group is mad, you also get mad. I think everybody has experienced this. Suppose you come in a room where someone is shouting and yelling, something happens to your brain. If you understand the quantum physics, then you will understand how this also works better.

A field gets created when more people sit and meditate. So automatically group meditation becomes deeper. But if you listen to some knowledge and you get some training, you can sit alone also and have the same impact.
