Sri Sri, Nobel Prize and Hindu spirituality-the in thing
by Ayan Roy chowdhury on Jan 13, 2006 01:03 AM

Guru will really make a guru stroke, if he gets this one too.
This sudden cry for Nobel prize for a man who runs a very good business out of teaching basic truths of life will be certainly a disgrace to the award itself.

Let us ask certain basic questions here.
Should the Nobel Prize be given just because he preaches and lectures on spirituality? But has he made any real effort to bring about peace between two waring groups?

If preaching hindu spirituality is the the only criteria then there are many such Gurus? Why Mata Anandamayee or Sai Baba?

By giving this Nobel prize is West trying to recognise the Hindu spiritualism or trying to make it the next in thing after Buddhism?

Is Hindu spirituality is at sale in the west like Bollywood and Indian food?

US has developed an intense liking for everything Indian from IT to spirituality, especially after 9/11 it seems. And they want to reward Indians in every possible manner from special banquets for Indian politicians to even nomination for Nobel peace prize.
Jay Ho Guru!!
