New Delhi: “Terrorism is a direct threat to humanity. It must be uprooted completely,” said Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the patron of the Art of Living in a statement reflecting the current national sentiment. “Even our deities carry both weapons and flowers—symbolizing the balance between peace and necessary action. When dialogue and diplomacy fail, strong measures become essential.”
Speaking in support of India’s recent actions, the statement emphasized that the country has responded to the menace of terrorism with wisdom, restraint, and clarity of purpose. “Only the terrorist camps were targeted. It is a commendable and calculated step that underscores India’s commitment to peace and justice.”
Amid growing concerns among the global Indian diaspora, the noted preacher offered a message of reassurance and calm: “We understand there is anxiety and fear, but let us remind our fellow Indians across the world—do not panic. All will be well. All will be auspicious.”
Expressing full confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar reaffirmed that India is making the right decisions in the face of mounting threats. “There is no need to fear or be overcome by concern. The nation is strong and focused.”
In conclusion, the message carried a spiritual appeal: “God is with us. Keep faith. Everything is going to be fine—and is already moving in the right direction. Remain patient and stay united.”
