Meet the founder & inspiration
"My vision and mission is to see a smile on every individual’s face,” says Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, global humanitarian and spiritual leader.
Gurudev has spearheaded an unprecedented worldwide movement for a stress-free, violence-free society. It all began in 1982 when he cognized the Sudarshan Kriya™ after a ten-day silence period. The technique remains a centerpiece of all programs of the Art of Living.
Through a myriad of programs, teachings, and social service projects across 180 countries, Gurudev has empowered and transformed the lives of millions. Recognized globally as an impactful mediator, Gurudev has played a pivotal role in restoring peace in several conflict zones. His body of work is a testimony to his vision of a stress-free and violence-free society.
“I want to join, but...”
Yes, of course! Regular practice of the Sudarshan Kriya™ is known to improve sleep, boost immunity, and lower stress and depression levels. You only need to read these testimonials of people who have benefitted from the workshop. Be sure to let your teacher know your ailments beforehand so they can give you the best and most customized experience!
Life can change in a moment. A moment with a loved one or a lost moment of awareness while driving a car can both be life-changing. A “Eureka” moment can be life-changing not only for you but also for the whole world. However, more than changing your life, this workshop equips you with tools to change your life yourself. In these four days, you’ll be learning the Sudarshan Kriya™, a widely researched technique adopted by millions globally. Those who have practiced it have reported life-transforming experiences.
You will also have free lifetime access to follow-up sessions, and a global community of mentors. You can also enroll for advanced programs of the Art of Living. Your journey has just begun.
An undying smile is the only side-effect! :) The Sudarshan Kriya™ is practiced globally by millions of people every day with documented health benefits.
It is absolutely safe to practice our techniques. If you have a medical history of asthma, high blood pressure, heart problems, and back pains, we will guide you differently during the session.
If you’re not stressed, great! You’re living the best life. But consider this: Do you start saving money only when you’re running out of it? Or start exercising only when you’ve lost your health? No, right? So how about building those inner reserves of resilience and strength for times when you could need them? But hey, it's your call. You could wait till you are stressed and this workshop will still be around to help you.
Reason one, to ensure you commit your time to the workshop. Reason two, apart from teaching you essential life skills, your donation funds many service projects in India. For instance, sending 70,000 tribal children to school, reviving 43 rivers, empowering 2,04,802 rural youth with livelihood skills, and lighting 720 villages with solar lamps.
You’re exactly the person we’re looking for! Did you know swimming before getting into water or did you know driving before attempting to drive a car? There’s always the first time. The practice of Sudarshan Kriya™ and meditations are simple and natural processes that help energize you. This is not one more thing to be stressed and pressured about.
The course offerings and learnings are same in both programs. You can learn Sudarshan Kriya in both programs. Happiness Program is in-person and requires you to go to a center while you can join the Online Meditation & Breath Workshop online, on your device.
The program is for anyone above age 18, who wants to improve the quality of their life.
The Art of Living’s workshop and teachings are embraced by people of different faiths and communities around the world. You can be assured of the diversity of participants and the unity of purpose, which is bringing a smile on everyone’s face.
We’d like to share a thought with you. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder, says: “The Art of Living is more of a principle, a philosophy of living life to its fullest. It is more of a movement than an organization. Its core value is to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society - of different cultures, traditions, religions, nationalities; and thus reminding us all that we have one goal - to uplift human life everywhere.”
