Addressing an event at the Jawaharlal Nehru University on Monday, spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said that homosexuality was a 'tendency' and not a permanent phenomenon.
Sri Sri made the statement in response to a student's query on how he could deal with the way his friends and family treated him based on his sexuality.
According to the Indian Express, Sri Sri went on to say that homosexuality was a 'tendency that may change', and that he had seen many men who have turned into heterosexuals later.
Sri Sri is scheduled to meet the Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday at the latter's residence to discuss the Ayodhya issue. Earlier on Monday, Sri Sri had announced that he was involved as a mediator in the Ram Temple dispute of his own will, and he would visit Ayodhya on 16 November to meet all the stakeholders.
