I was watching tv a couple of days ago. I think it was on National Geographic or Discovery Channel. Anyway, there was a short feature on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He’s a spiritual guru and all of his disciples (?) were smiling the whole time Mr. Shankar was with them. They must really respect him.

People from all over India come to him to seek enlightenment or ask for help to heal sicknesses. One of the exercises he makes the people do is a simple breathing exercise with simple arm movements. A follower of Shankar was interviewed. She’s young and always had dizzy spells and headaches. After going to him, she was healed.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s breathing exercise was studied by a psychiatrist and, when interviewed, the scientist said that the exercise works on depression. The patients do get better.

I want to know the exercise being taught by Ravi Shankar. I’m hoping that it will heal my depression.

Addendum

I thought that Sri Sri is the father of Nora Jones. Turns out that her father is Ravi Shankar, not a guro, but a sitar virtuoso.
