Sri Sri Simplifies the Bhagavad Gita for You

---

Don’t think The Bhagavad Gita got over long time ago. It’s still going on everyday in each and every person’s life. Our life is all these 18 chapters of the Gita. In your life, you can see which chapter you are in now. Where are you stuck? 1st Chapter? 2nd? 3rd? You can gauge for yourself where your life is.

Listen to Sri Sri decipher and simplify the mystical wisdom of Chapter 7 & 8 for you!

Chapter 7: Jnana Vignana Yoga - Knowledge of the Ultimate Truth
In Chapter 7, Lord Krishna reveals the science of freeing the mind from all possible places it can wander out of attraction and bringing it back towards the pure consciousness within. When we are deeply connected with ourselves, anything that we do in the world seems so effortless.

Chapter 8: Akshara Brahma Yoga - Attaining the Supreme
In Chapter 8, Lord Krishna reveals the secrets of karma, what's beyond death, the path to know the self and the mystical knowledge of realizing the brahman (the substratum of the universe).

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Helps to Bring Peace to Colombia

---

---

Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who has played a role in brokering a peace deal between the Colombian government and left guerrilla organization FARC, has asked the former to understand that the ceasefire would take some time to come into effect.

"It is vital for the President of Colombia and the military commanders of Colombia to understand that it would take up to July 20 for the ceasefire to take hold.

"This is because some of the guerrillas are unreachable in the jungle, and it will take a couple of weeks for them to realize that a ceasefire has been declared and that the FARC leadership is now pursuing non-violent and peaceful means," Christoph Glaser, spokesman for the Art of Living Foundation headed by Sri Ravi Shankar, said in a statement here.

During his recent three-day visit to Cuba, the Indian spiritual leader had held several rounds of discussions with leaders of the FARC ( Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) in an exercise of confidence-building for the peace process in the Latin American nation, which has faced many hurdles in the past three years.

During these talks, the leaders of the Colombian guerrilla movement FARC had agreed to follow Gandhian principle of non-violence to attain its political objectives.

Sri Ravi Shankar had then appealed to the FARC leadership to follow a path of non-violence and "pursue goals of social justice for the good of the Colombian people and the future stability of the country," Glaser said in the statement.

FARC is a left-wing guerrilla movement involved in the Colombian armed conflict since 1964 and has been designated a terrorist organiztaion by the UN and USA.

It has been hammering out peace terms with government negotiators since November 2012 to bring an end to five decades of war and conflict, which has killed more than 2,00,000 people and uprooted more than six million people.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Conferred with Peru's Highest Award

---

---

Peru on Tuesday conferred one of its highest awards, ‘Grand Officer’, to spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for social work and mission to deliver peace through his foundation The Art of Living.

Andean Parliament in Lima honoured Sri with the award titled “Medalla de la Integracion en el Grado de Gran Oficial”.

While accepting the award he said, “We all need to work together to see this entire continent free from violence and stress.”

He began his speech in Spanish, thanking the President of the Congress and its members, and ended it with “Namaste” which he said means “I am all yours”. He also said we need to establish communication on three levels–communication with oneself, communication with the society and communication with nature.

During his visit to Peru, Sri will have a private meeting with Brando Tapia, Congressman in Peru and Member, Andean Parliament; Ana Maria Solórzano, President of the Peruvian National Congress and with Luis Castaeda Lossio, Mayor of the City of Lima.

“Some of the Congressman have done the programmes that The Art of Living provides, after completing the course and filled with inner peace that they felt that Sri Sri must come to Peru and deliver his message to more people,” said Alejandro Martinez Meijide, director of the Art of Living in Peru.

In the backdrop of Peru facing violence, corruption and stress, Brando Tapia, Congress man in Peru and member of the Andean Parliament said, “Everyone should have the opportunity to know this worldwide spiritual leader, who helps us to have a better quality of life, who encourages us to do service and create a better society filled with respect, union and happiness.”

The objective of The Art of Living, which was started in 2007 in Peru, involves promoting human values, fostering interfaith harmony, building communal unity, encouraging social responsibility and spearheading humanitarian causes. “Thousands of people have benefited from the Art of Living programmes, public talks and workshops in schools, universities, companies and jails,” said Alejandro.
