The Art of Living and Ayurveda

“Health is not merely the absence of disease. It is the dynamic expression of life.” – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

With the rapid progress of modern medicine and the rise of robotic surgery, we rarely think about prevention, early-stage treatment, or the root causes of disease. While undergoing various medical treatments and focusing on managing symptoms, we often forget about healing on a deeper level. It may sound impossible, but it is a fact: the human psyche and conscious actions can purify the body at the cellular level. You’re probably wondering—how is this possible?

Let us draw your attention to something ancient, something that resembles our grandmothers' traditional remedies. It's called Ayurveda—a system passed down orally from sage to sage in India, later compiled into texts more than five thousand years ago. These texts describe in detail how the five cosmic elements—earth, water, air, fire, and space—affect our individual systems. According to Ayurvedic scriptures, maintaining balance among these elements is the key to a healthy and happy life. But the most important gift of Ayurveda is that it teaches us how to prevent illness and eliminate its root cause when it does occur.

 

Welcome to Sri Sri Ayurveda!

Sri Sri Ayurveda is practiced in three main locations:

The headquarters at the Art of Living International Center in Bangalore, India

These centers offer treatments and programs that nourish and revitalize your body, mind, and spirit.

Sri Sri Ayurveda is a harmonious blend of ancient Ayurvedic philosophy and the practices introduced by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. A key aspect of this path is the individual’s lifestyle—especially their eating habits and daily routine.

Let’s agree—it’s a great advantage to learn this subtle art of seasonal adaptation and say goodbye to seasonal discomfort!
