Gurudev, what is your opinion on meditation being rebranded as mindfulness,, which means that people will not really know the roots of meditation?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
This is because of some prejudice still prevalent in some circles. When we started teaching meditation 35 years ago, many thought that it was not for the so-called ‘normal’ people. This is because we all lived in our own little isolated concepts, and friend circles. We were not exposed to the diversity, multitude, and magnanimity of our beautiful planet.
It does not matter what you call it; if you are doing it right, that is all that matters. There are people who may call this piracy!
