In far away Colombia ( South America ) , a war was going on
for some 52 years
between the Government and the FARC rebels
Some 260,000 Colombians got killed at the hands of the rebels . another 45,000 are still missing ( obviously dead )
On Sept 26th , Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos signed
a peace deal with the FARC
rebels
He invited Sri Sri Ravishankar to attend the signing ceremony and thanked him in following
words :
" Thank you for everything you have
done for the peace process
. All your help is very useful and your spiritual guidance is
so important and I will be grateful forever "
On his part , Sri Sri Ravishankar tweeted :
" Our effort to fly victims to
Havana for a forgiveness
program was important in turning the tide for a yes to the referendum in Colombia
It was a big step for FARC
leaders to acknowledge and ask for forgiveness . This is the power of meditation
The challenge of peace in Colombia can make this nation the new Switzerland
of Latin America if we work together to unite the hearts and minds of Colombians "
Sri
Sri has been invited to be the keynote speaker at
the Reconciliation
Colombia in Cali on Nov 30

thousands of innocent Indians have died at the hands of LeT / JeM etc , over the past 50 years , with no end in
sight
