Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has made ancient wisdom practical to the modern-day and has introduced yoga, pranayamas and meditation into the daily lives of millions over the last four decades. He, later on, went on to set up The Art of Living. The first program was taught by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Shankar Mutt at Shimoga with only 6 participants. Since then, Sudarshan Kriya, the powerful rhythmic breathing technique, has been the cornerstone of all The Art of Living programs. Sudarshan Kriya cleanses the system from the inside. But the deeper stress remains in our bodies and minds. "We need to do a cleansing process within ourselves. That is the sense of purity, feeling of purity." " After practicing Sudarshan Kriya, many people feel so pure, clear and complete, because the consciousness which was stuck in the matter, the material foreign to it, was released from that and came back home. After I came out of the silence, I started teaching whatever I knew, and people had great experiences.” Nature knows what to give and when to give. “During the silence, the Sudarshan Kriya came like an inspiration. So, I was thinking about how we can bridge this gap between inner silence and the outer expression of life.” When they come out in life, they are very different people. Though people do their spiritual practices, their life is in compartments.

But still, I was concerned about how to help people live happy life. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a humanitarian leader, spiritual teacher, and ambassador of peace unfolds - “I had already traveled around the world. He went into ten days of silence and fasting, from what he has revealed to be an inner calling. On 17th September 1981, the Sudarshan Kriya was revealed to Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar on the banks of the Bhadra river in Shimoga district. The seven layers (body, mind, intellect, memory, ego, breath, and self or being) of our existence get harmonized. Love flows naturally in all relationships. Being in rhythm, we feel good about ourselves. Sudarshan Kriya harmonizes the rhythms of the body and emotions and puts them back in tune with the rhythms of Nature. You might have also observed that at a particular time in a year, you go through the same emotions. Did you know that there is also a rhythm to our thought process? Doubts, anxiety and happiness are related to a certain rhythm. Have you heard of the biological clock? The biological clock is an internal system that controls the timing of organism behaviors, physiological states and processes. Isn’t it? Just as seasons come and go, and days follow nights, our body too has its own rhythm. The practice is instrumental in creating a sense of harmony in the body, mind and spirit. Sudarshan Kriya is a purifying practice that gives a proper vision of one’s true self, or who one is. ‘Su’ means proper, ‘darshan’ means vision, and ‘kriya’ is a purifying practice.
