Mon Dec 11 16:47:57 2000
Name:venugopal
Email:venu_gh@hotmail.com
Nomination:Medha Patkar
Reason:For having successfully brought to light one of the fundamental questions governing 'temples of modern india' i.e. "prosperity for whom? And sacrifices by whom?"
Medha has exhausted all avenues of seeking justice with reference to Sardar Sarovar Project on the Narmada river. Dismissal by Supreme Court of her appeal is seen by many as a rude shock and many critiques have been published on the legal issues involved.
Whatever be the shape Narmada Bachao Andolan may take now after the Supreme court judgment, Medha stands outstandingly as a person of rare courage and moral conviction. These days of despair, she is the apt symbol for my choice as Indian of the year.
Mon Dec 11 16:55:05 2000
Name:Shobha Naik
Email:snaik@bom3.vsnl.net.in
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shanker
Reason:He has changed the lives of
the millions of people who
have been lucky enough to be
associated with Him, by
inculcating the spirit of Seva
or service to mankind.He has
also helped enhance the quality
of their lives through the
sudarshan kriya which is a
unique breathing technique
developed by Him. This technique
has also helped relieve distressing
health problems like hypertension,
cancer, etc.and there is documented
evidence to prove this.
The kriya helps to de-stress the
practitioner of the technique and
improves the quality of thinking,
promotes peace and understanding.
Has also been responsible to
alleviate animosity in warring
groups at Azerbaijan.
Each devotee thus becomes a better
person and continually strives
to better the lives of the less
fortunate through education,support
and spreading the message of
Love and peace. Funds are collected
for the upbringing of poor children,
children in tribal areas, by
establishing schools which impart
knowledge and education so that
these buds would bloom and one
day be the flowers in the kingdom
of Rama - a veritable Ram Rajya.

Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shanker
Reason:Cause HE is the one who is doing the best to this world. What are all these politicians who you have named above doing anyways ????
And about cricket and the cricketers I think, we Indians will take a long long long time before we get our trust on them ever again.
Hence looking at what the Art Of Living has done throughout these years I think it right to announce SRI SRI RAVI SHANKER as the man of the year
Thanks Best Regards,
Ajay.

Kudos to Medha for having brought all this to focus!

Name:Claire Atkins
Email:catkins@ionictech.com
Nomination:Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Reason:He has dedicated his life to uplifting mankind.
Through the techniques taught in his Art of Living courses including the Sudarshan Kriya, the individual is released from lifetimes of bondage. Cleansing and healing takes place on all levels--mental, physical and spiritual and one begins to function with greater clarity and peace in keeping with the laws of nature. As the stress is removed from the individual and his heart expands, the way he lives his life changes. As the consciousness of the individual is raised, this level of coherence in turn radiates to the surrounding environment. Violence and crime in the society decreases and the quality of life improves.
These simple techniques are effecting a dramatic social change. At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of people in India alone who have taken these courses and they are now taught in over 100 countries worldwide.
Through the presence and dedication of this man, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a global shift is taking place and we are moving towards greater world peace.
Please reference the transcript of his address to the United Nations conference this summer at www.artofliving.org.
