By Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
In this Weekly Wisdom, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar shares beautiful insights on how ancient rituals and science coexist in harmony. Find out.
Q: How do you differentiate between a superstition and a ritual backed by science?
Gurudev : Science can only examine what’s there. If the rituals hadn’t been continued, how would you even know today that they’re good? Unless something is harmful, we should continue those rituals. If something is harmful, we should do away with it.
If some ritual has been practiced for thousands of years, instead of discarding it without studying whether to accept or discard it, you should have a scientific approach. That’s good enough.
Q: In tough times, is it OK to turn to astrology and tarot cards?
Gurudev : You must avoid tarot cards and these types of other things. Astrology is OK. Astrology is fine. That gives you a road map.
But mainly your meditation, your prayer, your service, your commitment, all that will be of immense benefit.
