Today 5th March is Sudarshan Kriya day. On this day in 1982, the world renowned corner stone of every single Meditation and Breath Workshop, Sudarshan Kriya, wa...s born in Shimoga, India. Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar, founded this technique as he sat for a period of 10 days in silence on the banks of the Bhandra River. With only a few participants at the time Gurudev Sri Sri taught this technique to them - and the rest is history. Now, nearly 40 years later, Sudarshan Kriya has transformed the lives of millions in more than 150 countries; from people in rural areas, to city workers, students to housewives/husbands and even to nearly half a million prison inmates - all who have been #PoweredBySudarshanKriya on @ArtofLiving programmes. Upon visiting Shimoga in 2004 Gurudev @SriSriRaviShankar shares why he introduced Sudarshan Kriya to the world. I had already travelled around the world. I taught Yoga, Asanas, Meditation. But still I was concerned about how to make people live a happy life. After being in silence for 10 days, knowledge of Sudarshan Kriya came to me. Nature knows what to give and when to give. When we started that time, the course used to begin early in the morning and would go on until 10:30pm-11pm. So some people would not turn up the next day. The rest would go and bring them back. I would keep silent and everybody would also keep silent. Then people started having beautiful experiences from the second day. Our first course was here in Shimoga. Over a period of time I felt that this was a little too much for some people and so we split the course into the Basic course (currently the Meditation and Breath Workshop) and Advance course (currently the Silence Course or Silence Retreat). You know I don’t feel like I ever left this place! Images of Gurudev Sri Sri meditating in 2018 on the exact spot where Sudarshan Kriya came into existence 39 years ago.

#Bloodpressure, #diabetes, #cancer, etc., all of these are a result of unproductive and negative feeling, so We need to shift this whole cycle. We feel negati...ve, then we see everything negative and then we feel #depressed , and once we feel #depressed then we feel there is nothing else #positive and like this you go into a vicious circle. You need to come out of it and #meditation , #yoga and #pranayama is all about this How to #manage your #mind and how to uplift your #spirit, and that is really the blessing. - Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar We have two programs to get you started on the Journey to Healing Body Mind & Spirit Happiness Program: Check out effects of S.K.Y.
