Art of Living

From an early age, it was apparent that Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was
destined to lead a spiritual life - even as a very young child, he was
often found absorbed in meditation. By the age of seventeen he
had completed his traditional education in both Vedic literature and
modern science.
In 1982, Sri Sri began to teach the Sudarshan Kriya, a powerful
breathing technique that eliminates stress and brings one completely
into the present moment, Today this program is taught around the world
as part of the Art of Living Course. Many people have experienced
physical and emotional healing from these programs that eliminate
stress and create a sense of belongingness.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the founder of the Art of Living Foundation, a
United Nations non- Governmental Organization and is the inspiration
behind numerous charitable organizations focused on service and the
promotion of humans values, As Sri Sri has said, “Service is the
expression of joy and love, Ask yourself, How can I be useful to those
around me and to the whole world?’ Then your heart starts to blossom
and a completely new level begins...”
Each year, Sri Sri travels around the world reminding us that the great
spiritual traditions have common goals and values. He encourages
people from all religions and cultural traditions to come together and
celebrate. His love, practical wisdom and dedication to service inspire
people every where, “The only true security that can be found in this
world, “says Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, “is in the very process of giving
love.”
