What people are saying about Sudarshan Kriya
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.
Those who have taken this workshop have recommended we charge more. This is because 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 68 rivers / streams, empowering 2,04,802 rural youth with livelihood skills, and lighting 720 villages with solar lamps. If you think it’s not justified, we won’t object if you wish to pay more. ;)
Beginners cannot meditate for long. Don’t stress about it. Even five mindful breaths are better than doing nothing! When you practice Sudarshan Kriya™, you’ll be better prepared for meditation. Gradually, you can prolong your meditation.
Meditation trains the mind. You neither have to break any rituals of your life nor sacrifice anything. Meditation will help you achieve excellence in every sphere of your life.
Meditation is a practice to quieten the mind and you’ll gain expertise in it if you maintain regularity.
Meditation is for senior citizens! It’s probably the biggest myth. Mental training bears the sweetest fruits for youngsters because they’ve got the time and energy of youth on their side.
