Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a globally registered spiritual and humanitarian who has spearheaded an unprecedented worldwide movement to create a stress-free and violence-free society. “Compassion needs two attendants with it all the time. One attendant is wisdom. The other attendant must be detachment. If any one of these is lacking, compassion will suffer itself. Misplaced compassion is no good.  And compassion without detachment is not [compassion].”In this second part of the conversation with Sri Sri, he takes questions from the audience such as: how can you transition from one kind of compassion to another? Can you have spirituality in the absence of faith in a higher power? Why are breathing techniques so impactful on mindset? How can we find compassion to connect us all? And what can we teach our kids about compassion to reduce the number of shootings on school campuses?“If we teach children how to control their anger, their aggression, begin with the little glimpses of meditation, short 1, 5, 10 minutes of meditation, you empower them, you let them have the power over their own raging emotions.”This is a wide-ranging, truly insightful discussion, download and listen today. On today’s podcast:
