The First Step Into the Fire — How It All Began in 2001
In 2001, when Gurudev returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos, the then Prime Minister of India, Atal Behari Vajpayee, personally asked him can you help resolve the Ayodhya dispute? Gurudev said yes. What happened next is something most people do not know. He did not just meet Hindu leaders. He traveled to the office of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board in Okhla, New Delhi and sat down directly with Muslim leaders including Zafaryab Jilani and Kamal Farooqui. He organized interfaith meetings at Shanti Niketan in Delhi with Muslim intellectuals, journalists, and parliamentarians like Javed Akhtar and Shabana Azmi. He proposed a settlement formula based on compassion and forgiveness values that belong to every faith. Now ask yourself does an anti-Muslim person do any of this?

Who Is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar The Man Behind the Mission
Hello and welcome. Today we are going to talk about something that has been widely misunderstood, widely shared, and rarely fact-checked. The question is simple Is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar anti-Muslim? If you have seen this claim on social media, in comment sections, or in heated debates I want you to stay with me for the next few minutes. Because the actual facts tell a very different story. A story of courage, quiet sacrifice, and genuine love for every community in India. Let us begin.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, lovingly called Gurudev, is the founder of the Art of Living Foundation one of the largest spiritual and humanitarian organizations in the world. Now, the Art of Living has always believed one simple truth that trust deficit and broken communication are the root of every conflict. And no conflict in modern India tested that belief more deeply than the Ayodhya dispute. For those who may not know the Ramjanmabhoomi and Babri Masjid dispute is one of India's longest running and most emotionally charged conflicts. Hindus believe Ayodhya is the sacred birthplace of Lord Rama. Muslims held deep emotional connection to the Babri Masjid that stood there. When the mosque was demolished in 1992, more than two thousand lives were lost in the violence that followed. For seven decades, courts fought over it. Politicians used it as fuel. And the wound never healed. This is the fire that Gurudev chose to walk into not once, but twice.
