Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Ji is a humanitarian leader, spiritual teacher and founder of The Art of Living — one of the world's largest volunteer-based educational and humanitarian non-governmental organisations.
For more than forty-five years, his teachings have reached people across the world — offering practical wisdom, breathing techniques and meditation that bring calm, clarity and purpose to everyday life.
Through the Art of Living Foundation, the International Association for Human Values, Sri Sri University and the Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir Trust, Gurudev's work extends into education, rural development, disaster relief, peace-building and the cultural heritage of India.
Gurudev's teachings weave together ancient wisdom and modern-day practicality — themes that apply in every context of life.
Between the body and the mind — the most accessible path to inner calm and sustained focus.
True joy is found in service — to the individual, the community and the world we share.
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam — the entire world is one family, transcending borders and beliefs.
Simple daily practices to manage pressure, sharpen clarity and deepen relationships.
Rooting young minds in character alongside academics — through schools, universities and programmes.
Mediation and reconciliation efforts across conflict-affected communities worldwide.
At Padmashri Group, Gurudev's teachings are not a distant inspiration — they are a living presence in how we lead and how we serve.
Our Director, Varsha Agarwal, is a certified Art of Living teacher and a long-time devotee of Gurudev. Through her initiative, meditation and wellness programmes are conducted regularly for the Padmashri Group family and the wider community.
His teachings have shaped how we treat colleagues, partners and customers — with care, clarity and a commitment to lasting relationships.
We are supporters and facilitators of the following organisations founded by Gurudev. Padmashri Group is not an operator — details, programmes and schedules are managed by the respective organisations directly.
A volunteer-based humanitarian organisation founded by Gurudev in 1981, offering breath-based wellness programmes, meditation courses and community service initiatives across 180+ countries. Programmes are conducted in Siliguri by our Director Varsha Agarwal — a certified Art of Living teacher.
