When Gurudev received the Balance in Culture Award in 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.” For three decades, leaders, decision makers and reformers have venerated Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s vision of a stress-free, violence-free world.
