Bengaluru: A 52-year-old war formally ended with the signing of the peace agreement between the FARC and the Colombian government in Cartagena de Indias on September 26. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of The Art of Living, was invited by the President & the FARC ​to be part of the ceremony.

"Thank you for everything you (Sri Sri) ​have done for the peace process. You have been a great support and friend of this process. All your help is very useful and your spiritual guidance is so important and I will be grateful forever," said H.E. President Santos to Sri Sri after the event.

Describing it as a moving moment for the people of Colombia & FARC​, Sri Sri said that the ​historic accord gave peace a chance. During his ​visit to Colombia, Sri Sri ​also ​addressed a group of 500 social leaders inviting them to cultivate inner peace and support the peace process. ​In his meeting with the Minister of Post Conflict, Rafael Pardo ​he discussed ways to build peace and reconciliation.

The Director of the Victims Unit, Alan Jara and a group of 12 victims met Sri Sri to highlight the importance of teaching​ the Art of Living techniques to every member of the ​FARC. The Arhuacos indigenous community asked Sri Sri for his support to protect the environment in their territory, culture and ancient traditions.
