Galvanizing flood relief efforts in Orissa, H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar chalked out a detailed plan for relief efforts with the Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik during an aerial survey of the affected areas.
H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was in Bhubaneshwar for a few days during which the foundation stone of the H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar University was laid by him, and the Chief Minister.
Emphasizing educational opportunities for women, H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar expressed hope that each individual would become educated. “The students who pass out of this university would not be terrorists.
They would be sevaks who will work for society,” he said. Over 10,000 people gathered despite torrential rains for a meditation with H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He taught stress-elimination techniques to around 10,000 people at a Health and Happiness workshop held in Bhubaneshwar.
H.H.Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar met people from a wide cross section of society, from corporate in Bhubaneshwar to villagers in Bidyadharpur.
