Name:sonal
Email:sonals@hotmail.com
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:simply put - aside from teaching the world at large to breathe right the man is responsible for capturing the imagination of india's intelligent and bored youth to do something about the state of affairs - be it trough the youth training camps which trains kids to adopt and help rural communities, be it drinking water sanitation or education. To Sri Sri for adding another dimension to the spiritual hoopla that the masses and classes thrive on - PRAGMATISM and Common sense! for focussing people energy into constructive solutions for the society. From 'Go Figure' one can now safely say 'Go Breathe! regards sonal.
