Recently Christopher Kiran Byrt, a Senior Art of Living Teacher from Germany, shared an awe- inspiring post with all of us on Change The World and ESatsang.
Be a part of History and join us in Berlin this July!
You can find the piece below:
“Back in early 1989 I attended a silence retreat with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Timmendorfer Strand in the north of Germany. When we broke silence after a week, he appeared very pleased and I will not forget what he said: “Your silence and meditation has helped to bring down the wall. I remember feeling honoured, but to be honest, it sounded completely over the top. I had grown up in a divided Germany and anyone predicting that the wall would come down peacefully any time soon would have been considered a dreamer (at its best!). But then, just a year later we saw that the wall had come down and Germany was on its way to be reunited.”
