How to overcome feelings of guilt?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: It is simple - listen to some knowledge. Pranayama and meditation are also one of the best ways to get rid of guilt. When you meditate it removes guilt, uplifts the energy and brings a change at a very concrete level. In Christianity, confession is given a lot of importance. You confess to the priest of the wrong that you have done. When you offer all the wrongs that you have done, you leave it to the divine to take care of it. In the Hindu and Buddhist tradition, people do ‘Kshama prardhana’, which means asking God for forgiveness. You say, "Knowingly and unknowingly I have done some wrong, please forgive me". Asking for forgiveness will take you out of guilt.
