It is with great joy that we offer this exceptional collection of heart-warming talks, given over a period of time, by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. “Power of Love” refreshingly explores all aspects of a subject that evokes a range of emotions, makes life worth living, and is the basis of all existence.

The Power of Love

There is strength in peace; there is strength in calmness; there is strength in love – which goes unnoticed.

What you cannot win with a stick, you can win with love. What you cannot win with guns, you can win through love. This power of love needs to be realised. The most powerful thing in the world is love! We can win the hearts of people through love.

The victory that comes out of ego is worth nothing. Even if you win in ego, it is a loss. Even if you lose in love, it’s a victory! Making people realize this innermost strength that we all have is the challenge!

You cannot talk about love when a terrorist is at your door, but is there some way in which we can transform the world? Is there any alternative method that can bring sense to people who do not listen to anything, other than force?

We can only start thinking along these lines when we realise that there is enormous power in love, that there is enormous strength in inner peace. When we are peaceful, we radiate that peace around us – to the people around us... and they also become calm.

In these times, when there is war and disease in the world, it’s so important that we all meditate a little bit everyday for when we meditate, we nullify those vibrations, creating a more harmonious environment around us.

I would call War the Worst Act of Reason: W. A. R.

For every war there is some reason. Sometimes it becomes unavoidable… like an operation.

There is a wound, a scar, a cancerous cell in one’s body. We operate, but after the operation, the nursing is so essential. We need to nurse that part which has been operated.

It’s the same with the world and with the psyche of people; a lot needs to be done to bring peace, love and confidence into hearts and minds.

Our being peaceful and in a meditative, prayerful state will definitely help.

Don’t think, “What can I do?” When the world is in a problem, don’t think that you are insignificant. You too have a role to play.

You know a tiny homoeopathic pill, which has a 1/100th or 1/1000th potency, makes an impact on a body, which is sixty-seventy kilos! In the same way, every individual – everyone who is breathing, talking, walking, thinking – has an influence on this cosmos, on this planet. So we can all radiate peace, good thoughts, good vibrations, good wishes… and that will definitely make an impact on the planet.

I’ve seen this over and over again.

When there is a conflict, and you interact with both the groups engaged in the conflict, they soften up.

When communication breaks down, it causes turbulence, which in turn causes stiffness and rigidity, but when you re-establish communication through love, through peaceful means, through patience, then people do yield.
