Our society has awakened and had started accepting yoga and meditation

In our country we have more of indifference than intolerance. There was a talk that India has become intolerant. I would say that we have become indifferent not intolerant. This indifference is eating our society. We have this profound knowledge with us and still we are indifferent towards it. The whole world is longing for this knowledge. We have this saying. Ghar ki murgi dal barabar. (A hindi proverb roughly translated : Homemade chicken is equivalent to plain cooked lentils) .We stay like that. Now our society has awakened and had started accepting yoga and meditation. This interest should increase. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji

Gurudev, I heard you say this and I also strongly believe God is everywhere. How important is it to do Puja, or go to a pilgrimage place like Rishikesh, or take a bath in sacred places?

Question - Gurudev, I heard you say this and I also strongly believe God is everywhere. How important is it to do Puja, or go to a pilgrimage place like Rishikesh, or take a bath in sacred places?

Not only you, but your wife, children and the people you know say, "What is the use of going to satsang? You haven't changed a bit. Show us what has changed in you. What is the point of going?" This is the question that the young ask their elders : “What did you learn by meditating? You aren't peaceful. You still get angry”. “There was some change - you were better for a while, one or two months, then you returned to your normal behaviour." It is not surprising if people say this.
