tolerating is not about ignoring. i thought you understood when i said that i am talking to you with a a strraight face. tolerance is about not getting andry at others viewpoint.

Thanks for explanation, i didn't knew the philosophy behind the concept of tolerance.

By the way, as per your definition - he is also tolerating you because i don't thing he is angry

Laugh its good for health. glad i am able to help. maybe i should also come to your country to spread tolerance and faith in peace.

Thanks your your generosity - Your nick name is enough to make me laugh

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar talks love, peace, tolerance in Pakistan

"Love, peace, tolerance" is what Pakistani students shouted for when asked by visiting spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar what he should speak about.

Ravi Shankar regaled the audience at the famous Forman Christian College here as he spoke about love, religion and answered a number of questions.

"You better find another one from about seven billion living souls in the world. Move ahead," was Ravi Shankar's advice to a Pakistani student who sought his view on him being unable to forget his ex-girlfriend.

The answer led to a round of thunderous applause from the audience here.

Hundreds of students accorded a warm welcome to Ravi Shankar, who began a three-day private visit to Pakistan with an address at the college in Lahore.

The hall was jam-packed an hour before the arrival of Shankar as both students and teachers were eager to listen to him.

"I am glad to see your enthusiasm. You can do wonders in life with this energy. Do not lose this enthusiasm," Shankar said after walking onto the stage.

He asked the students what they wanted him to speak about. and the hall echoed with shouts of "Love, peace, tolerance".

Shankar involved the students in demonstrations to make them understand the power of truth.

"You tell a lie and lose power over yourself," he said.

He told them how to control anger and mood swings and to concentrate on studies.

A student asked Shankar to comment on the "worshipping of idols", as it is a common belief in Pakistan that Hindus worship hundreds of gods.

"Like Allah has 99 names, there are over 1,000 idols but God is not in them. God is one. Hindus also worship one God," Ravi Shankar explained, drawing applause from senior members of the faculty.

He should hope his news of arrival shouldn't reach Taliban and also those who have invited him and have in fact invited trouble not peace these anti Pakistan machine was mainly gave lecture in college run by Christians and than Christians ask us why they get attacked these kind of idiotic acts make people against them

The student shouldn't have asked him about worshiping idols. Why does he have to explain his beliefs to anyone? See this is the thing that needs to change in Pakistan. Tolerance, tolerance, tolerance. Just accept people are different. We are at that stage where we are in conflict with everyone. This has to change to acceptance.

Ravi Shankar gave a brilliant response to this childish comment about worshipping of idols but he shouldn't have needed to explain himself. For Pakistan to prosper we need to become impartial to the religious beliefs of others. Perhaps secularism is one of the best options for our country.

I am forced to agree with this post in some ways. Indians must equally condemn acts of oppression taking place within India. I feel Indians are not eager to condemn bias in their land. Instead they prefer to blame things on minorities. Otherwise they tend to get into comparisions. A happens in Pakistan so we are justified in doing B to minorities.

However ventures such as the one taken by Sri Sri Ravi Shakar will help eliminate differences between the two countries. Such visits by scholars from Muslim/Hindu communities should continue to increase understanding between the countries and eliminate misunderstandings. Plus I have always believed Hindu/Muslim contact is one of the best ways to end bias and discrimination in each country and do away with hatred for each others religions.

For Pakistan we need to understand we do not need to be anti-hindu to defend national interest. Plus there is a population of 5 Million (Perhaps more) Hindus in Pakistan we cannot, should not alienate.

I have been promoting a secular policy for Pakistan because of this. Please go to my website for more details about that... but my point is made!

He was just preaching love,peace and tolerance and the need of accepting diversity instead of narrow minded sectarianism.He says pretty much the same in india..

Sir

Sir we have Quran and Sunnah so we don't need any Non Muslim to tell us what is peace love and Tolerance he should first tell these things to Indian Government and should ask them to stop killing innocent Kashmiris
