Bangalore. June 9, 2009: Art of Living founder and humanitarian, His
Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has appealed to the Indian student community in
Australia to stay calm, not get provoked and practise restraint.
“The world is becoming a global community. In this milieu, we cannot afford
another conflict on racist and nationalist lines. We have to come together in
understanding and harmony. India has a legacy of non-violence and ahimsa.
Time and again, Indians have demonstrated that peaceful methods of protest
have a far greater power in achieving goals than any violent acts. The Indian
student community should take hope from this and use only peaceful means to
redress their problem”, he said
The Art of Living foundation has already started conducting its programmes
among the Indian student community, to reduce students’ anguish. The
foundation has a strong following in the community of students, both Indian
and Australian. It has even reached out to the native Australian community.
