Name:Jeffrey Ainis
Email:jeffrey@reedsgingerbrew.com
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:My choice is one on the credit side of making the crucial difference where it mattered. His is like a Father Theresa only he takes it one step further, he is empowering a new generation of Indian youth to make taking care of their fellow humans a part of their daily lives. He has brought a tremendous positive influence into the Indian "tribal" populations, training Indian youth to bring education and his 5 "H's" (Health, Hygiene, Housing, Harmony in Diversity, and Human Values--I think I have it right) to more than 500 villages so far. He has also brought his Art of Living programs, which include his Sudarshan Kriya technique and and other breath, meditation, and tools for enlightened living, to an enormous population made up of people from all spheres of life. He is bringing a sense of national and international responsibility to the spiritual world and a sense practical (and sometimes quite amusing!) spirituality to the everyday world. He is one of the exquisite creations that we don't run across frequently and seems clearly to live his message without hypocrisy and in every detail of his life. Quite rare wouldn't you say?! He has made quite a "rediff"erence so far and seems poised to do even more in the future.

Name:Brit Bech
Email:shakti.ram@get2net.dk
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:He has built the Art of Living
an accredited NGO in the UN
- The courses he has put together has made my life into a daily celebration* I live more fully and with a deeper peace of mind, I am more energetic, doing much more service to society and loving it, e.g. as a volounteer at a refugees-center, teaching and supporting troubled young teenagers, visiting kids at hospitals laughing, playing games...etc.
The many projects going on in this humanitarian organisation, also the 5-H program beginning in the South of India, has inspired me to find the goal of my lifetime - that is to give more than you get - to always keep a smile on my face - and to rise in love and not to fall in love, as he, qoute, says.. " We use the expression 'fall in love'. We should rise in love, not fall.".
I know this may sound good...
and i tell you this happiness in my every day life has been ongoing for the past 5 years and the inspiration for this smile to be on my face and in my heart...is coming from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
He is the Rediff Indian of the Year***

Fri Dec 8 06:28:45 2000
Name:N. Sriram
Email:sriram@nus.edu.sg
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:
For webinfo check
http://www.artofliving.org
for a start
check out his teachings; both conceptual as well as experential; better still, talk to people who have gone through an "advanced" course
check out his organization and the astounding fact that he is on the road (air) for 200 days a year. This must present so much stress for him and he doesnt really need to do so much travelling. As far as I know, most of the teachers etc. in the organization volunteer their time for teaching and service
He's made some impressive speeches as well; for example the one at the UN in 2000. Beats what I've heard from most politicos and intellectuals.
Sure, he has been at it since the late 80s but I think he is due for broader recognition. From what I know, he is a spiritual gem from India, mixing a blend of wisdom and innocence.
I think its not much fun nominating someone when they are already famous etc. Such polls should anticipate people who have made the news and whose impact is bound to grow. Its people like Sri Sri Ravishankar who provide specific tools and teachings to address the kinds of issues posed in Dinesh D'souza's "The Virtues of Prosperity"
