About Me:
His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian whose mission of uniting the world into a violence-free global family has inspired millions the world over.
As a child, Sri Sri was often found deep in meditation. By the age of 17, he had obtained an advanced degree in modern science and later received an Honorary Doctorate from Kuvempu University, India.
In 1981, he established the Art of Living Foundation, one of the world's largest volunteer-based educational and humanitarian organisations, with a presence in 140 countries. In 1997, he founded the International Association for Human Values (IAHV). Unarguably the most multi-faceted activist in the world today, Sri Sri’s range of social work encompasses conflict resolution, disaster and trauma relief, women empowerment, prison reform, campaign against female infanticide, eradication of child labour and providing free education to underprivileged children.
