Spiritual leader Ravi Shankar said being homosexual is a tendency that may change later.

He made the statement at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi after a student asked how he should handle the way his friends and family treated him for his sexual orientation, a leading website reported.

"You don't think you are sick or something is wrong with you," he said. "If you stand up, nobody can insult you, but...if you feel bad about yourself, nobody can make you feel better," he told the student. "This is your tendency now...know that this tendency is not a permanent thing. It may change. I've seen many men who were gay later turn into heterosexuals, and there are those who are normal, who are called straight people, end up being gay later in life."
