Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is an Enlightened Master and spiritual visionary whose presence and grace have touched millions worldwide. Rooted in the ancient tradition of meditation and self-realization, He has made the deeply transformative practice of meditation accessible to ordinary people, bridging the mystical with everyday practicality.

His vision of a stress-free, violence-free society has united millions across the world through service projects, transformational programs, and initiatives that support human values, sustainable living, and care for nature.

He has played a key role in conflict resolution, sharing His vision of non-violence at public forums and gatherings worldwide. Regarded as a neutral figure with a sole agenda of peace, He represents hope to people in conflict and has received particular credit for bringing opposing parties to the negotiating table in Colombia, Iraq, the Ivory Coast, Kashmir, and Bihar.

Through His initiatives, Gurudev has consistently emphasized reinforcing human values, recognizing that we belong to one world family. He has championed interfaith harmony and multi-cultural education as the remedy for fanaticism.

His vision also reminds us that human well-being and the well-being of the Earth are deeply connected. Care for soil, water, food, farming, and all living systems is not separate from spirituality; it is an expression of it. This spirit of reverence for nature forms the inspiration behind our work in permaculture.

Gurudev has touched the lives of millions through a reawakening of human values and service. Going beyond race, nationality, and religion, He has rekindled the message of one world family, free from stress and violence, living in harmony with one another and with nature.
