In the past, Shankar had come out against the Supreme Court바카라s 2013 verdict on Section 377, saying homosexuality is not crime
Spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has said being homosexual or heterosexual is a tendency that may change later. He made the statement at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi on Monday after a student asked how he should handle the way his friends and family 바카라mistreat바카라 him because he was homosexual.
바카라You treat yourself better, doesn바카라t matter how others treat you. You don바카라t think you are sick or something바카라s wrong with you. If you stand up, nobody can insult you바카라 But if you feel weak and meek, and if you feel bad about yourself, nobody can make you feel better,바카라 Shankar told the student, adding, 바카라This is your tendency now. Just acknowledge it and accept it, and know that this tendency is not a permanent thing. It may change. I바카라ve seen many men who were gay, later on turn into heterosexuals, and there are those who are normal 바카라 what are called straight people 바카라 end up being gay later in life,바카라 The Indian Express.
Shankar was delivering at the 13th Nehru Memorial Lecture at JNU during the day, and another lecture in the evening, where he took questions from the audience, added the report.
When another student asked him what they could do to remove the 바카라anti-national바카라 tag given to JNU 바카라because of a few students바카라, he replied: 바카라Some youths have a tendency to rebel. Just because they바카라re talking differently, don바카라t think they바카라re anti-national. Don바카라t brand them.바카라
In the past, Shankar had come out against the Supreme Court바카라s 2013 verdict on , saying homosexuality is not crime and nobody should face discrimination based on their sexual preferences.
바카라Hinduism has never considered homosexuality a crime and바카라to brand a person a criminal based on sexual preference would be absurd,바카라 the founder of Art of Living Foundation had said.
Earlier in the day, Shankar said was involved as a mediator in the Ram Temple dispute of his own will and he would visit Ayodhya on November 16 to meet all the stakeholders.
The Congress had last month dubbed Shankar a "government agent" who was representing its interests in the Ram Temple dispute in Ayodhya.
The spiritual leader told reporters that he would pay a courtesy visit to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
