Col may be present in his training camp: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Noida, UP, Nov 22 (UNI) Art of living course founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar today said there is a possibility that Lt Col Srikant Purohit may be among the few officers who were present during his three-day training camp, which was held in October this year.

He said if he had known that Purohit , who was present in his camp, had been allegedly getting involved in Malegaon blasts then he would have adviced the Colonel to follow the correct path.

Addressing a press conference here, he regretted that this year in October he had conducted a three-day training camp, in which there were few officers who came to meet him and there is a possibility that Purohit may also be among them, but he personally did not know Purohit.

The Spiritual Teacher said linking his Ashram with terrorism is a conspiracy.

He said Art of living teacher, Geevis, taught 'Sudarshan Kriya' in the three-day training camp.

The teacher who was also present at the press conference said the purpose of the camp was to generate the feeling of patriotism among the youths.

The teacher admitted that he had met Colonel Purohit during the Panchvati camp.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said Maoists, Hizbul, LTTE and other terror organisations can be brought to the right path through efforts.

He said he is not in favour of hanging Afzal Guru and he should be given one more chance.
