The Navratri celebrations at the Art of Living International Center, Bengaluru are a union of the physical, subtle and conscious aspects of our being through yogasanas, homas, meditation, prayer, sankalpa, seva, satsang and cultural events. Visitors and devotees throughout the world participate in these events to cultivate the highest human qualities. Peace, love, happiness and vibrance are predominant in the Ashram during this event. We welcome you with open arms to join the celebrations presided over by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The Significance of Navratri!

"The word ‘Ratri’ means deep rest or relief from three ‘tapas’, three types of fire or botherations- the physical, the subtle, and the conscious. A deep rest can relieve you from all these three botherations.

It’s a time of prayer and rejuvenation. A child is born in nine months. These nine days are like coming out of a mother’s womb once again. Having a new birth."
 

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
