Bangalore, Nov 28 (IANS) Indian spiritual guru His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Friday condemned the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, saying India “is going through a terrible time”.”This terrorist attack has left Indians in the grip of fear and anxiety. In this situation, religious and political leaders need to show the country that we stand together against terrorism,”
In a Knowledge sheet on Terrorism Guruji says this
The act which is only destructive and inflicts suffering both on oneself and others is terrorism. In such an act, human values are lost in the process of achieving a goal.
Some of the factors that lead to terrorism are:
Frustration and desperation to achieve a goal
Confused emotion
Shortsightedness and Impulsive action
Belief in a non-verifiable concept of heaven and merit; a childish concept of God favoring some and angry at others, thereby undermining the omniscience and omnipotence of the Divine.
Terrorism induces fear psychosis in all, increases poverty, suffering and loss of life with no apparent gains. Instead of solutions the terrorist looks for destruction as an answer. If you simply criticize without giving a solution, know that this criticism comes from the same seed as terrorism!
Although there are certain qualities you can appreciate in a terrorist such as:
* Fearlessness
* Commitment to a goal
* Sacrifice
You will have to learn from them things that you should never do:
* Valuing some ideas and concepts more than life.
* Having a narrow perspective of life and dishonoring its diversity.
The Remedy for terrorism is:
* Inculcate a broader perspective of life — value life more than race, religion and nationality.
* Educate people in human values – friendliness, compassion, cooperation and upliftment.
* Teach methods to release stress and tension.
* Cultivate confidence in achieving noble aims by peaceful and nonviolent means.
* Create spiritual upliftment which can weed out destructive tendencies.

very nice analysis of terrorism by sri sri. it is sure that in this troubled times only spiritual leaders lilke sri sri can bring peace in the country. people have already fed up with the political class and are now started to find solution else where.
I agree that terrorism is not just what is happening outside but actually what is going on within every frustrated being.But I would like to know Religon was to make us strong then Why today religon is used as the easiest weapon to hurt others let it be RSS or terrorism ?
