One is hearing so much about the ill-effects of radiation from cell towers. In our home, when we measured the radiation levels from cell towers, it was not in the danger zone, whereas the Wi-Fi was emitting radiations which were very much in the danger zone. Could you comment on this and how do you see things going forward?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Wi-Fi should be limited to office hours. Later on you should switch it off. Even at home you should switch off the Wi-Fi after use. Similarly, there should be zones where there is no Wi-Fi. In moderation it is okay.

Our nervous system gets used to it after sometime. The adaptability is inbuilt in our nervous system and this can function only when there is no stress. If you are stressed, your adaptability decreases. And when adaptability decreases, you are prone to the effects of radiation and diseases much more than others. So increase your adaptability by being free from stress. Keep yourself happy and definitely do pranayama, yoga, meditation and eat healthy food. This would help to a great extent.
