My Dear friend .. the statistics in the article refer to work being done by the voulnteers who are inspired by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. It is a movement that is happening all across the world - and the real reason Sri Sri deserves this prize is because He has redirected youth energy in contributing to society - health, hygiene, human values, harmony in diversity and home for the homeless.. In today's time the youth needs role models, not in film stars and sports stars, but in messiahs like Sri Sri, who give a purpose to the youth, to make themselves useful to society. And it is this army of youth - called seva warriors, who have achieved these fantastic statistics.. Mother Teresa is dead - but she is still working through her sisters - the missionaries of charity. And Sri Sri works across the globe through His seva warriors..
