You can meditate and still get angry.⁠
Practise yoga and still love a night out.⁠
Eat clean… and still want chips sometimes.⁠
It’s not about being perfect.⁠
It’s about being natural.⁠
⁠
As Gurudev says:⁠
“Leave a little room for imperfection.⁠
This acceptance allows you to be more patient, more calm,⁠
and ensures that you at least maintain the inner perfection.”⁠
⁠
✨ Wellness isn’t performance. It’s mental peace.⁠

We are all part of a one world family. We are different but we are part of one human race.

We need to celebrate diversity. We need to honor all the cultures and every language of the world.

“He tried meditating with YouTube…⁠
5 minutes later — more frustrated than when he started. 😁⁠
Couldn’t sit still. Got distracted. Ended up in a rabbit hole of random videos.⁠
⁠
Then he discovered Meditations with Gurudev.⁠
No forcing. No fidgeting. Just breath — and real calm.⁠
⁠
He didn’t have to try to meditate.⁠
It just happened. Naturally.⁠
⁠
So if he looks extra peaceful now…⁠
Yeah, it’s the breath and guidance from an expert😌⁠

When love flows without conditions and service is offered without expectations, life becomes light like a breeze. Just give… and see how the universe gives back a thousandfold.
Although one cannot give with empty vessel. Fill yourself with love and compassion, which can be achieved through regular practice of meditation.

Meditation is not an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a soul-stirring embrace with the essence of life. ⁠
⁠
Balancing worldly activities with a daily dip inside ourselves puts us in touch with our eternal Self. We discover our innermost nature that never changes, even though our lives are immersed in constant outer change. This inner awakening to the Self is called Enlightenment.⁠

Our Story

We Serve Society by Strengthening the Individual

"The Art of Living is more of a principle, a philosophy of living life to its fullest. It is more 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."

Art of Living: An Overview

Operating in 154 countries, The Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) is a non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization founded in 1981 by the world-renowned humanitarian and spiritual teacher Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. All of AOLF’s programs are guided by Sri Sri’s philosophy: “Unless we have a stress-free mind and a violence-free society, we cannot achieve world peace.”The AOLF community is diverse and attracts people from all walks of life backgrounds and religious orientations.

Courses

AOLF offers numerous highly effective educational and self-development programs and tools that facilitate the elimination of stress and foster deep and profound inner peace, happiness and well-being for all individuals. These programs, which include breathing techniques, meditation, yoga, and practical wisdom for daily living, have helped millions around the world to completely transform their lives.

Service Initiatives

In addition to these courses offered globally, AOLF, working in collaboration with The International Association for Human Values (IAHV) and in special consultative status with the United Nations Social and Economic Council, has successfully implemented numerous humanitarian projects and service initiatives including:

conflict resolution programs

disaster relief

sustainable rural development

empowerment of women

prisoner rehabilitation

education for all

environmental sustainability

Mission

It has been said of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar that not since Mahatma Gandhi has one person united so many people of different races, religions, traditions, economic and social status, and nationalities, creating a One World spiritual family across the globe. Sri Sri’s message is simple: “Love and wisdom can prevail over hatred and violence.” Happily, this message is not just a slogan, but through AOLF has been and continues to be translated into action and results.
