 The Art of Living Course offers specific
breathing practices and techniques that infuse
the body with energy and harmonize the natural
rhythms of the body, mind and emotions. The
course includes Sudarshan Kriya, which uses
specific rhythms of breath to re-establish
balance in life as it simultaneously floods the
cells of the body with oxygen and energy.
Enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and
traditions, the course is based on the ancient
knowledge of the art of living and the healing
power of the breath, adapted to the needs of
modern life. Course participants report that with
regular practice (20-25 minutes a day), there is
a vast improvement in physical and mental
energy, as well as greater harmony with others. In less
than a week, the simple, yet profound Art of
Living Part I Course brings to our experience
that life is truly beautiful! The Sudarshan
Kriya, is a powerful energizer and cleanser,
while the knowledge discussed in the course,
presents life’s deepest secrets in a language
that is easily understood.
Life is much more than our innumerable habitual
daily routines... It is so much more than just
eating, drinking, sleeping, working, chatting...
The Program opens our eyes, mind and heart to
how much more meaningful and complete our lives
can be. In a harmonious environment, it’s easy
to say, I feel peaceful and contented. However,
if nothing goes to plan and there is utter chaos
all around, and you still say, Yes! I am
peaceful and happy, then you have attained
something very special indeed... That is The Art
of Living... and that is what the Part I course
brings to our experience.Although the Art of Living Part I Course is
considered to be the entry program for adults,
it is recommended that one should repeat this
course every few months. In fact, according to
most repeaters, with every successive course one
receives a better understanding of the knowledge
points. Through simple and effective course
points, Sri Sri has made accessible profound
knowledge.Course participants commonly report:
- Greater ease and joy in personal
relationships
- Increased fulfillment in work
- Deeper sense of community and belonging to
society
- Enriched spiritual life
"I have done so many courses wasting thousands of dollars but the
satisfaction I got from this course is just
awesome and I suggest it for every human being."

Divya Samaj Nirman literally translated means
creating a divine society. This course provides
the first opportunity for the individual to take
more social responsibility and experience the
power of one’s inner strength.
We all have personal barriers, old habits, or
inhibitions that hold us back and keep us from
fully participating in life. Yet we all have a
deep desire to be the best we can be - for
ourselves, our families, our communities and
even the world around us. The truth is that
those old emotional wounds, self-concepts,
attitudes and fears create a barrier between you
and the ability to live your heart's desire.
DSN is a rigorous and transformational course,
which through a powerful combination of yoga,
special meditations, breathing techniques and
group processes, empowers participants to break
through those personal barriers and inspire in
them greater social activism and responsibility.
Dropping whatever isn’t serving your best
interests is a completely liberating experience
- making you feel that nothing can shake you. When you are ready for true freedom and personal
empowerment, then you are ready for DSN! This
course is open to all those who have completed
the Art of Living Part I Course. Before I joined the DSN course, I was a very timid person, shy of
even speaking out my mind to few people around
me. But after doing DSN I can express my mind
out, think and do things positively for the
benefit of myself and all the people around me.. is the universal expression of all DSN
participants.

Sahaj Samadhi Meditation(SSM)Sahaj means natural,
effortless and Samadhi is a deep meditative
state of mind. Sahaj Samadhi is exactly that - a
natural, effortless system of meditation that
allows the conscious mind to settle deeply into
the self, thus giving it much needed deep rest.
When the mind settles down it lets go of all
tension and stress and centers itself into the
present moment.
It
is only in the present moment - those moments
when the mind is free from regrets about the
past, and anxiety about the future - that one
finds true happiness. In just a few sessions you
will learn to tap the depths of your own nature.
Sahaj Samadhi meditation is
very easy and enjoyable and regular daily
practice can totally transform the quality of
your life.
"We need to do a cleansing process within
ourselves. In sleep we get rid of fatigue, but
the deeper stresses remain in our body.
Sudarshan Kriya cleanses the system from the
inside. The breath has a great secret to
offer."--H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Developed by H.H. Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar, the Sudarshan Kriya® is the core
component of the
Art of Living Course.
The Sudarshan Kriya infuses the body with energy
and harmonizes the natural rhythms of the body,
mind and emotions.
It
uses specific rhythms of breath to re-establish
balance in life as it simultaneously floods the
cells of the body with oxygen and energy.
A
powerful practice that combines ancient
knowledge with the rhythms of the breath, it has
a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit.
In
order to understand the enormous health
implications of the Sudarshan Kriya, one must
understand the relationship between the breath,
the mind, the emotions, and the body. The Kriya
links the breath to the mind-body system in a
specific way, that rids the system of
accumulated stress and toxins, releasing
negative emotions and rejuvenating the body.
Over 2 Million people worldwide
have enjoyed the benefits of the Art of Living
Course and the powerful Sudarshan Kriya
technique.

the "stress hormone")
