A life’s work of sacrifice, dispassion and sweat have these great men like Sri Sri Ravishankar worked to raise the human spirit, not for self pride and least for glory but to remind man of his forgotten respect in the spirit. They not only share their enlightened qualities but distribute their honor. They live for us, to help us to find us.
The tragedy with the media today is that it has lost that spirit. The spirit which helps man to be what he is. The conflict is between showcasing sensibility or sensationalism, the head or the heart, the wonders of mankind or the war. And the choice you chose is clear. The human heart yearns for synthesis because that is what is worth showing and living. Unity with itself and the nature. Responsibility of the democratic media is in showcasing values which are dear to mankind and to the planet, depicting the truth and leaving the verdict to the heart which is watching it, without sidelining the intelligence of the viewer, in filming something which has its main cast as the human heart, compassion,dignity and sacrifice, which help us to live with the qualities of love, truthfulness, friendship and faith since the journey of life is to find them, to unfold them, to ignite them.
Today the media is slowly yet consciously killing these values. The murder of these values amounts to murder of mankind. And when the last scream of doom will be closing in, there will still be a whisper of hope due to these great men to give back what the world is losing today, the value of the spirit.
PS:- Instead of pouring venom on these mediawallas in their comments section and replicating what they are doing, it is best you forward this letter to all the sites who write ugly and let that be your last browser click on those sites.

Your words are very powerful and heartfelt. You deserve congratulations for bringing up this pertinent issue. Many of us feel like this but we just sit back and shake our heads. You have taken action and inspired others.
Yellow journalism has been around for a long time. Maybe, it’s what a section of society demands. But at the same time, all the media is not bad. Many responsible journalists have served society by exposing malpractices.
Cynics will continue to talk and condemn. Perhaps the answer to it is in the hands of the idealists: they have to keep on demonstrating their ideals and ignore the critics.
