How Can We Have A Violence-Free World?

Mental health is one of the greatest challenges the world is facing today. More than half of the violence in the world arises from mental health challenges.

- By Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

India, with its spirituality, has been helping the world deal with the mental health epidemic in a big way.

The normal nature of every individual is kindness, being loving, compassionate and joyful. No child cries for no reason. They cry when they are hungry, sleepy or scared. Similarly, if someone is violent, there must be a reason behind it; if someone is not compassionate, there is a reason for it, and if you really go into the roots of it, you'll find it is isolation, fear, a sense of rejection and a lack of a sense of belongingness.
