Founder Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, eminent speaker and world-renowned humanitarian, is the founder of the Art of Living Foundation and other humanitarian organizations, such as IAHV (International Association for Human Values) that are engaged in numerous service projects around the world. These projects not only uplift humanity from poverty and illiteracy but also fortify the spirit and empower communities. He offers solutions that allow individuals, communities and nations to make modern knowledge the mother of harmonious and beneficial living. At a time of great danger for us all, symbolized by global terrorism, militarism, economic instability, and rising incidence of epidemic diseases, he brings a tender and pragmatic message capable of melting hearts of stone. He is invited to speak in over 40 countries a year by heads of states, multinational corporations and organizations such as the UN & European Parliament. His solutions refine human values to such purity that they become impregnable shields against manipulative and destructive influences…Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's message is simple: "Service is the expression of joy and love, ask yourself, 'How can I be useful to those around me and to the whole world?".
