BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Global humanitarian Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar visited Buffalo this week to lead meditation at Westminster Presbyterian Church.
On Thursday, he presented "The Journey Within: Meditation & Wisdom" to a sold-out crowd of more than 700 people. Some traveled from all over the country to meet Shankar and give him gifts.
"I'm connected to people everywhere," Shankar said. "So, I was fulfilling that promise to them that I would definitely come here one day."
He's also the founder of the Art of Living Foundation, an educational organization dedicated to fostering a stress-free and violence-free society.
"It's been an incredible experience to put this together for Buffalo, the friendliest town that I've ever been to," Christine Martin said. "It's special for him to come here because he goes to big cities all around the world, and has massive crowds come to him."
