An introduction to the Art of Living Foundation and Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar.
Inner peace to outer peace and dynamism: with this motto, The Art of Living volunteers drive humanitarian projects in diverse areas.
Inspired and guided by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the organization saw its 30-year-celebrations in
2011.
ART OF LIVING
Sri Sri founded The Art of Living as an
international, non-profit, educational and
humanitarian organization. Its educational and
self-development programs offer powerful
tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of
well-being. Humanitarian activities include the
areas of trauma care, disaster relief,
environmental sustainability, women
empowerment and education.
WHAT IS YOGA
The secret to health and happiness lies deep
within every human. Yoga is the science of
discovering one's own self - the very source
of pure consciousness, peace and bliss.
Everyone knows that we don't feel good and we
get stressed when there is disharmony in our
lives, when our bodies are tired and our busy
minds constantly chatter and judge. Through
the discipline of Yoga we become more aware
of ourselves by doing simple postures,
breathing techniques, meditation, and relaxation
to rejuvenate the body and quite the mind. It is
in this manner that we cultivate harmony in
ourselves.
WHAT IS MEDITATION
Settling the surface mind is meditation. Living
in the present is meditation. Relaxing deeply is
meditation. When you are really happy, reposing
in love, you are meditating. Meditation is that
space when the thoughts have subsided, and the
mind is in complete rest.
WHAT IS SUDARSHAN KRIYA
Sudarshan Kriya incorporates specific natural
rhythms of the breath which harmonize the
body, mind and emotions. This unique breathing
technique eliminates stress, fatigue and
negative emotions such as anger, frustration
and depression, leaving you calm yet energized,
focused & yet relaxed.
Millions around the world have done this unique
practice and have reported better quality of
life.
