His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is in Sydney from 1st to 7th April 2009. The last time he came to Australia was 2004, so he's not a frequent visitor. Sri Sri is the founder of the Art of Living. Present in over 140 countries, Art of Living formulates and implements lasting solutions to conflicts and issues faced by individuals, communities and nations. One of its approaches is to promote human values in society by teaching techniques that strip away the accumulated stress that makes us irritable, frustrated and unhappy. The Art of Living Part 1 Course is an introduction to these techniques and teaches simple yet powerful breathing and meditation practices.

“There is a great secret in the breath. You have an inbuilt ability to calm the mind, heal the body, and energise the whole system in minutes.” — Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
