Note, this probably means some (like for instance one of the Hero of Labor stars I have) on the market are in fact unawarded ones.

When I was in UB, they had coverage on TV of awards ceremonies, together with interviews with recent awardees. All in Mongolian, so it went over my linguistic head. Nice images though.

So far, they are still awarding (nasty brass versions of) the old awards. There is much talk, however, about changing things, and setting up new awards. There is a chance they'll involve Someone Who Knows A Lot about Mongolian awards in this process. We may hope so, as they've certainly come out with some ugly and ahistorical stuff so far.

Mongolia confers top honour on Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Bangalore, Aug 24 (IANS) Noted Indian spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was Thursday conferred the Order of the Pole Star, top civilian and military honour of Mongolia, in recognition of the contribution his Art of Living Foundation has made to the nation.

Receiving the award, Ravi Shankar said: "It (the award) is a honour not to a person but to the ancient philosophy and spiritual tradition of India."

He is currently on a three-day visit to Mongolia.

During the visit, he was welcomed by several top leaders including the president, who has undergone the spiritual programme known as Art of Living. Thousands of people attended his functions during, with more than 10,000 people present at a session on Sudarshan Kriya, a rhythmic breathing and yoga programme developed by Ravi Shankar.

"The visit has brought great joy and happiness to the members of the Art of Living family," said a devotee. "By visiting Mongolia, Guruji has honoured the feelings and fulfilled the desires of thousands of Mongolians," she added.

Reacting to the overwhelming response of the people of Mongolia, Ravi Shankar said: "The visit has strengthened the long spiritual connection between India and Mongolia."

The visit coincides with the 10th anniversary celebration of the Art of Living in Mongolia.

Ravi Shankar also held a brief interaction with the Dalai Lama, who is now in Mongolia on a low-key visit.
