World Venerates Wisdom
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s vision of a violence-free, stress-free society through the reawakening of human values has been recognized and appreciated the world over. Gurudev has been honored for his contribution to humanity in the fields of conflict resolution, peace promotion and for promoting human values. The awards and felicitations bestowed on Gurudev celebrate the causes that he champions as well as his philosophy of a one world family.
Communities from different backgrounds and faiths have joined in Gurudev’s mission of creating a stress-free, violence-free world. When Gurudev was awarded the Culture in Balance award in October 2009, he said: “I share this award with all those people who stand for a violence-free and stress-free society. This award is not for a person or personality, but for a principle that stands for the ideal of a one world family and cultural plurality.”
These awards celebrate the coming together of people for peace and service.
A világ tiszteleg a bölcsesség előtt
A világ, tisztelegve Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar bölcsessége és jövőképe előtt, számos kitüntetéssel és elismeréssel jutalmazta őt. Az emberi értékek felélesztésével elérhető erőszak- és stresszmentes társadalomról alkotott jövőképét világszerte felismerték és elismerték. Az évek során Gurudev számos nemzeti és nemzetközi kitüntetésben – legmagasabb állami díjak és elismerések, valamint neves szervezetek által alapított díjak –részesült.
Sri Srit öt indiai és egy Sri Lankai egyetem avatta díszdoktorává az emberiség szolgálatának elismeréseképpen. 2009-ben a gödöllői Szent István Egyetem is díszdoktori címet adományozott neki.
Az Egyesült Államok és Kanada több városa Őszentsége látogatásának napját Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Nappá nyilvánította, több ország pedig a „Nagyrabecsült Vendég” elismerésben részesítette. Washington DC városa Gurudev 2007-es látogatását azzal tette emlékezetessé, hogy ott tartózkodásának idejét az Emberi Értékek Hetévé nyilvánította. Emellett több amerikai és kanadai város díszpolgárává avatták. 2006-ban az indiai Jaipur városában tett látogatása során a polgármester jelképesen átnyújtotta neki városa kulcsait.
