I am not against any beliefs but I believe that it should not be thrust upon others. The Art of Living presentation was thrust upon people and I was surprised to see people accepting it. I am happy there were a few people like me who refused to whatever forced upon them. Hope the organisers correct it in the next TedX Meet. I completely accept your comment sir.

I really could not understand what this man was doing in a TED and I refuse, just like you to be told how I should meditate, when I should meditate...I thought that was very much Marketing of a product...totally out of place...I just watched eyes fully open the whole audience following his silly comments. Sad. I am myself a Sannyasin (Swami Pranavananda) and I never do any proselytism as I find this akin to brain washing.
