Sri Sri Ravi Shankar gets death threats in Malaysia from Islamic State

KUALA LUMPUR, March 29, 2015:

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living foundation claimed on Saturday that the spiritual guru had received death threats from the Islamic State terror group during his visit to Malaysia.

According to a report in the Hindustan Times, three letters with threats were received by the manager of the hotel where Ravi Shankar was staying at Penang, said Shikha Grover, a spokesperson for the foundation.

The report quoting PTI said all three letters had a photo of an unidentified, blindfolded man purportedly being beheaded by a man whose face could not be seen.

The letters had the threats in both English and Arabic and bore the Arabic logo of the Islamic State.

The letter sent to the hotel’s manager warned that the hotel would be “destroyed”. It further said another warning sent two weeks ago had stated that the guru would be killed if he carried out “his Hindu activities in Malaysia”.

The letter alleged Ravi Shankar was converting Muslims in Iran and Iraq and his organisations — Art of Living and International Association for Human Values — were “meddling in the Islamic affairs in Iran and Iraq”.

“We don’t want Ravi Shankar to step into any Muslim country. We are watching him…,” the letter said, according to the Hindustan Times report.

The letters sent to the two Art of Living officials contained similar allegations and warned that all venues for Ravi Shankar’s activities would be destroyed.

Grover said the Indian high commission and local authorities and police in Malaysia were informed about the threats.
