And not only that, they were singing ' Vasudev kutumbakam '. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has traveled all over the world and spread the spiritual consciousness born in India, and moulded it with a modern look for the liking of the new generation of the world. In Mongolia from every house, 'The Art of living's' message is echoed. No one could have imagined that a country smaller than Andaman in population could have organised a such a large gathering."

"Gurudev told me there is a wonderful spiritual atmosphere of consciousness in Mongolia, and you must take some time to meet the people. If I would have come back from Mongolia without meeting you all, my visit would have been incomplete." the Honorable PM concluded.
