Art of Living conducts a yoga program involving 10,000 people in Penang, Malayasia.Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who is currently in Malaysia, has received death threats from the terror group ISIS, his office said in a press release on Saturday.
In a letter to the manager of Hotel Jen, where the Indian guru is staying, the group warned that the hotel would be destroyed and he would be killed if he is allowed to carry out “Hindu activities” in the country.
The letter alleged that the guru claims himself “as non-religious” person but his organization Art of Living has been “converting Muslims in Iran and Iraq”. It is “meddling in Islamic affairs”, it said.
It apparently sought to forewarn the organisers that he and the hotel will be destroyed if he sets foot in the country.
