Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a world-renowned teacher, scholar, humanitarian, and spiritual
leader. He is the founder of the Art of Living Foundation and the International Association for
Human Values and is the inspiration behind numerous charitable organizations focused on
service and the promotion of human values.
Sri Sri does not promote any religion but reminds
everyone that all the great spiritual traditions
have common goals and values.
At his talks to the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, NASA Goddard Space Flight
Centre, National Press Club and many other international events, he encourages people from
all religions and cultural traditions to come together, appreciating their common values rather
than focusing on their differences.
His life and work have been dedicated to reviving human values and bringing about more
peace in the world and self-development through an individual commitment to joyful living,
selfless service and self-awareness. He brings together the pristine wisdom of ancient India,
the knowledge of breath, meditation, and the importance of doing selfless service and offers
them as tools to humanity to recover joyous peaceful living.
Sri Sri reinforces the message that all religions and the great spiritual traditions share
common goals and values. His simple message of love, practical wisdom and service
encourages harmony, and teaches everyone to follow their chosen religious or spiritual path
while honoring the path of others.
Sri Sri has dedicated his life to service in a way that inspires people to find their own way to
serve. His message of love gives real hope for the future, and his unique programs and
practical wisdom have transformed the lives of millions. He is a living example of the wisdom
he shares - the essence of what it means to be both spiritual and yet fully active in today's
world. His public talks have attracted crowds of hundreds of thousands, yet those present
often feel such a connection to the wisdom and beauty of his message, it's as if he were
speaking to them alone.
