ABOUT US
At the Art of Living Foundation, We Serve Society by Strengthening the Individual
"The Art of Living is more of a principle, a philosophy of living life to its fullest. It is more a movement than an organization. Its core value is to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society – of different cultures, traditions, religions, nationalities; and thus reminding us all that we have one goal to uplift human life everywhere."
- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
