The Art of Living founder says his quote was taken out of context.

&lt;p id='p_1'&gt;In a statement that will add further fuel to the contentious Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi controversy, the Art of Living founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said India will turn into Syria if the Ram temple issue is not resolved soon. In an exclusive interview with India Today, Ravi Shankar, who has been holding parleys with the various parties involved in the Ram Mandir issue for a long time, said, 'If Ram Mandir issue is not solved, we will have a Syria in India.'&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id='p_2'&gt;The 61-year-old spiritual leader said Islam does not allow worship at a disputed site. 'We cannot make Lord Rama to be born in another place,' he said. Ravi Shankar also rubbished suggestions that a public utility like a hospital should be built at the disputed site, where a Mughal-era mosque was demolished by a Hindu mob on December 6, 1992. The Ayodhya dispute is centred on the same plot of land, which Hindus claim is the birthplace of Lord Rama.&lt;/p&gt;
