Spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar today said that spirituality could play an important role in improving relations between India and Pakistan.
Ravi Shankar, who returned to the Indian capital today after a visit to Pakistan, said that till now diplomacy had been restricted to the political, cultural and sporting arenas, but now the peace process had found a new dimension in the form of spirituality.
"We talked about how spirituality can unite people. It is beyond all religion it can unite people and it can take away many ills of the society like depression and aggression," he told reporters here.
He also described his visit to Pakistan as one of goodwill and acknowledged that people of that country had warmly received him.
"We are all interdependent and inter-linked. If SAARC nations live in peace and harmony with each other, if violence is put to an end, then we can emerge as a supreme power," Ravi Shankar said.
