He's also had 2.5 million people show up for a massive
meditation
session last February 17 in his hometown of Bangalore!
A few hundred thousand people (according to the reports Icould
find)
is not 2.5 million.
SOunds like SSRS has taken a page from MMY's PR manual.
Following is a pre-event announcement. 2 lakh = 200,000.
This event has drawn international attention and over 2 lakh
people
are expected to take part in Mahakriya supervised by Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar.

The Aol sites reports:
Watching the crowds, crossing one million every day for 3 days,
(did any come for more than one day?)

Thanks, beautiful website for the event. Quite incredible. This
is
what I like to see in a worldwide movement!
It sounds like it may have also been the largest mantra initiation
in
history:
"Around 9.45 pm a pin drop silence descended as Sri Sri
administered
the meditation technique to the assembly."

Wow--that is incredible.
Just for the record, this was a *huge* spectacle,
with lots of entertainment--music, singing, chanting,
dancing--and speeches by prominent persons. Something
for everybody, a great big party.
At one point on the third evening he had the whole
crowd doing the breathing techniques. That must have
been a sight to behold.
