The Art of Living by Ravi Shankar Guruji.

 Ravi Shankar Guruji

04.06.10 Bangalore : His name had been recommended 2 years ago for a Nobel Peace Prize, which was actually won by a Bangla Deshi Muslim banker, Yunus who saved thousands of poor people in Bangla by distributing loans to them and recovering the amounts after they had made good in life. This is real art of living.

In 2010, May 30. Ravi Shankar Guruji had a narrow escape from a bullet shot that missed its mark and hit his devotee Vinay in the thigh while standing closeby.  Ravi Shanker denied he was the target and told the press reporters on May 30 that he had no enemies, but why did he pardon the absconding offender booked for murderous attempts after a lecture? It was VInay, who should have pardoned the revolver holder, who ran way, when 8,000 persons could not catch him in broad day light at the Vishalakshi Ashram of the Guruji.

If the “art of living” teacher pretended it was a “cracker burst” near him and not a0.32 bullet, which he realized later, how could he pardon an intended criminal under law?

Ravi Shanker knows his Ashram premises have been visited by naxalites and one of them could have borne a grudge against him after hearing his lectures. He charges Rs 5,000 for a course of Yoga from well to do executives, businessmen and anyone who has money, like the Rationlist, Rabindra Nayak of Mangalore who hates him and writes against him after attending a course in Bangalore, in a local magazine “Today”.

Ravi Shankar, this time, was on the losing side when naxalites penetrated his Ashram and aimed a shot at him from 700 meters distance, upwardly and hitting another person standing near him as he was getting into a car. Guruji will not be the same again, with state police swarming around him for guard.
