How to raise my 9 year old daughter to be a harmonious person and have a sense of belongingness with other people. (The speaker also asks about raising her child to be a vegetarian which is a rare thing in her country).
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
We have to quickly teach more and more people because when it becomes a fashion then it is easy. See, all good habits, either it is a tradition or it is a fashion. If you take it as tradition, it is already there. You just have to nurture the tradition. When that is not available in places then you can make it a fashion. When you make it a fashion it gains its respectability and more and more people will take it. So that’s a challenge you have.
In India, it is a tradition and so it's easy. Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, in all these eastern countries it’s a tradition. In Japan and China, it becomes a tradition, but in the west you have to make it a fashion. How to do that? You think about it!
