Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (Gurudev) is a globally recognized spiritual leader, humanitarian, and peace envoy. He is the founder of two global organizations - the Art of Living (AOL) and the International Association for Human Values (IAHV). Under Gurudev’s guidance, these organizations have grown to become the world’s largest volunteer-driven movements, transforming 800 million lives in 182 countries with the vision of a stress-free, violence-free society: advancing individual well-being, community resilience, environmental restoration, and global peace. Through over one million volunteers and 40,000+ trained facilitators, AOL and IAHV deliver practical, evidence-based programs that strengthen mental health, reduce stress, and foster leadership across all sectors of society. Independent studies from leading institutions, including Stanford, Yale, Cambridge, and UCLA, show significant reductions in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and burnout in participants. At its core, Gurudev’s mission is simple: to transform life’s struggles and make life a celebration, building stronger individuals who can serve society with compassion and purpose.
