NE Exodus: Art of Living Ashram turns a safe haven

The mass exodus of thousands of north-eastern people from
various parts of India, coming on the heels of Assam riots and
consequent displacement of hundreds of thousands of families, is a
huge blot on India.
It is time to rally around our North Eastern brethren and open up
our hearts and homes to assure them that they have a million homes
in India. They are not alone and don’t have to flee.
This was the message taken by Art of Living teachers Sanjay Babu,
Neelam Kochchar, Deepa Dave and their team of volunteers to the
thousands of panic- stricken North Eastern people at Bangalore
Raliway station ready to leave in the next train to in North
East.
Sanjay Babu explained, “There were many distributing food and water
at the railway station to the insecure north eastern crowd. But
none could assure security to them. We were sent by Gurudev
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji to assure
them that they are safe and there was no need to panic and flee
from Bangalore.”
The Art of Living teachers reached out to thousands of fearful
north eastern workers and students of Bangalore and dissuaded many
to stay back. Those who were fearful of going back to their
residences in Bangalore were offered a home in the Art of Living
Ashram. Around 200 north eastern people are now safely living in
the Ashram premises till they feel safe to go back to their homes.
In fact, thanks to the feeling of security given to them by
Gurudev, many of them are already feeling confident of returning to
their jobs in Bangalore.
Over 33,0000 people are reported to have left Bangalore because of
direct and indirect threats to leave the city before August 20.
Many also left because they were being called back by family
members in Assam so that they could, “protect their house together
or die together!”
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has encouraged the north eastern
students in Bangalore to continue their studies. If they need help,
Sri Sri University would come forward to enable
their education. The workers have been assured that Art of Living
would help them find jobs. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, has been
engaging the people of North East since many years through personal
interactions and many service initiatives. 121 children from
Nagaland, Meghalaya and Assam are staying & getting education at
Art of Living Ashram since six years.
Only a genuine peace maker like Sri Sri can
remove the mistrust and fear that has engulfed Assam in recent
times.
During his recent visit to Assam (watch video) in the aftermath of ethnic clashes,
Sri Sri was heard with eager anticipation by the people from the
both sides of the divide.He effortlessly got the Bodos and Muslims
to see reason and talk in conciliatory tones thus sowing the seed
for reconciliation. But the question remains whether the rulers of
the day will be interested in watering the seed?
