Mediation has happened for property rights or in corporate cases but not on an issue as large scale as this, that will go into the annals of history of the largest democracy. There were 25 parties and we listened to each of them with all attention. There was no time limit. What we found is that people are so willing to cooperate. They&#8217;re willing to consider others point of view. They&#8217;re willing to move ahead for the betterment of all. An atmosphere of cordiality was generated. We met hundreds of religious leaders from both sides. All that contributed to creating an atmosphere of acceptance, of giving and moving forward. That gave way to a judgment that was welcomed by one and all. A burning issue that saw 71 wars, small and big, for so many centuries, was put to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7683\" src=\"https:\/\/gurudev.artofliving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Members-share-light-moment-From-Meditation-to-Mediation.jpg\" alt=\"Members on the dias share a lighter moment at the event titled From Meditation to Mediation\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The dignitaries present also included Gaitri Issar Kumar, Indian Ambassador to EU, Geoffrey van Orden, Member of European Parliament(MEP), Katarina Barley, VP EU Parliament, Jo Leinen, Former MEP, Alojz Peterle, Former Prime Minister of Slovenia and MEP, and Dace Melbarde, MEP and former Minister of Culture, Latvia.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7686\" src=\"https:\/\/gurudev.artofliving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gurudev-has-an-informal-chat-with-the-EU-members-before-the-address-.jpg\" alt=\"Gurudev has an informal chat with the EU members before the address\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7689\" src=\"https:\/\/gurudev.artofliving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/From-right-to-left-Geoffrey-van-Orden-Indian-Ambassdor-Katarina-Barley-Gurudev-Sri-Sri-Ravi-Shankar-Jo-Leinen-Alojz-Peterle-Dace-Melbarde.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether it is his continuous engagement for peace in Kashmir; or bringing together 67 major insurgent groups from seven northeast states on one platform to begin a new chapter in reconciliation and development; or be it the Colombian civil conflict, calling for a precarious balance between peace and justice, where he is known to have convinced the FARC rebels about the strategic implications of choosing Gandhi\u2019s method of non-violence-for which he received Colombia\u2019s highest civilian honor, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has been creating space for dialogue, at times even on the political hotbeds of conflict. But what makes his approach work?<\/p>\n<p>Key members of the European Parliament also acknowledged Gurudev\u2019s significant contribution in working for global peace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cVery few people believed this (resolution of Colombian conflict) was possible but it happened because someone (Gurudev) came with a different light. It happened from the heart. Only people who have peace in themselves can influence peaceful developments around the world,\u201d said Alojz Peterle, former Prime Minister of Slovenia and member of European Parliament.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can find roots of cultures of peace in many countries but we need new ways to rediscover it and we need new leaders to help us do that. And we have found one in your personality,\u201d said Dace Melbarde, MEP (Member of European Parliament) and former Minister of Culture, Latvia.<\/p>\n<p>In what makes for effective mediation, Gurudev spoke about the need for mediators to meditate.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMeditation changes our mindset from perceiving things from a stressed state of mind to bringing more clarity in our observation, perception, and in our expression,\u201d he said, \u201cWhether it&#8217;s the mediator, or the people who are in conflict- it is important to take a few minutes to meditate on themselves, to reflect, to relax.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Gurudev also explained <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artofliving.org\/in-en\/meditation\">mediation<\/a> was different from passing a judgment or decree. For this, he gave an analogy of cutting an apple with a knife. A judgment was like bringing a knife and cutting an apple into two halves and giving a half each to two people, fighting for it. But the mediator doesn\u2019t himself cut the apple. \u201cAs mediator I would give the knife to parties involved and work with them in making the right (fair) choice. This attitude of allowing the two parties to come together and rebuild lost trust is very challenging but it&#8217;s not impossible. To do this, first we have to be in a very calm, serene state.&#8220;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Meditation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Meditation<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Mediation?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Mediation<\/a> : excellent session with SriSri <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Ravishankar?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Ravishankar<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EP<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bruxelles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bruxelles<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dBrlZsC3Al\">pic.twitter.com\/dBrlZsC3Al<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jo Leinen (@jo_leinen) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jo_leinen\/status\/1194248162707484672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 12, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Often, those who have power do not have patience &amp; those who have patience are powerless.
