inter-caste or inter-religious marriages wronG

Q: Gurudev, are inter-caste or inter-religious marriages wrong according to
Dharma?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
No, not at all. It is not the caste or religion that is wrong. It is your
compatibility that is important here. Do not go to someone and tell them,
“I cannot live without you” when you are in a state of emotional upsurge.
If you do so in an emotional state, then very soon you will also say, “I
cannot live with you”. It will be like a flip over. This is why in such
matters you should take the advice of elders also.

Q: What is the meaning of ‘Annadata Sukhi Bhava’?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: ‘Annadata sukhi bhava’ means ‘those who are providing me with this food, let them be happy’. Will you all say this one mantra every day before your meals? When you say this, you are wishing prosperity for three people. One is to the farmer; the second is to the trader who buys from the farmers and sells the produce, and the third is to the woman who cooks the food and serves it to you. First, we wish well for the farmers. When the farmers are happy, then the ones who eat the food will also be happy. But, if the farmers are unhappy, and they are shedding tears and giving us food, then when we eat that food, we become sick. So, you must wish the farmers good health and happiness. In this country we are ignoring the farmers. Farmers are committing suicide because they are sad and unhappy. When they are sad, then the food they produce brings us only misery. So, all of you should wish them happiness. Second, we should wish well for the traders. If the ...
