Ethiopia - “I want to see a smiling Ethiopia”-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

“I want to see a smiling Ethiopia”-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

By Tesfu Telahoun

Capital

Serenity is a man – a surprisingly demure personality who exudes grace and peace. His ever-present smile is touching in its authenticity and you say to yourself, “This person is special”. However, that would be something His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living Foundation and a world renowned guru would gently refute.
“We are all, in one way or another, sent for a purpose. I am not here in any special capacity, replied His Holiness, to my question of whether he felt he is on a divine mission chosen by destiny for him to follow.

We were gathered in the splendid grounds of India House, the magnificent residence of the Ambassador of India to Ethiopia, invited to attend a press conference His Holiness granted to local media, on Friday, December 7, 2007.

The Art of Living guru answered a variety of questions from the media. The full text of the press conference will feature in next week’s issue.

Hey, this country is not short of bahtawis and debteras, those indian gurus are just people who managed to do it the western way. Broadcast, write and held conferences. They in no way are relevant to us.
We need developers and people who come with their capitals.

Adios

His Holiness is beyond words. It is natural for all normal humans to doubt the truth because of our day-to-day experience, but that does not hold for this holyman, You can believe and accept only after you experience a change. Try associating yourself with him in some form, visit any art of living website and find out for yourself and make your life environment healthy & happy.

You have chosen to call yourself what.If only you truely asked what? you will be surprised how much you can learn. I suggest you read your own comment first, then try to learn what a debtera or bahitawi can teach you then maybe find out just one thing about Ravi Shankar. The answer is with in your own comment. Here's to using the capital you already opsses :idea:
