Gurudev's Mission

For more than four decades, Gurudev has been inspiring people towards a vision: creating a stress-free, violence-free society. His mission started humbly in a small village in Southern India, during a period of deep reflection in silence. Since 1981, Gurudev's work has grown into a global phenomenon of service and education, which has touched over 800 million people in 180 countries.

Spiritual Teacher — Peace Starts Within

Gurudev's teachings help people reduce stress, find peace, and expand their vision. His most unique gift to the world is a pioneering breathwork technique, SKY Breath Meditation, also known as Sudarshan Kriya. This powerful technique helps individuals connect with a deep sense of calm and clarity within.

SKY is now backed by over 100 independent, peer-reviewed studies — including research from institutions like Stanford and Yale. Findings show that it significantly reduces anxiety, stress, depression, and impulsivity, while enhancing cognitive function and promoting deep sleep.

Gurudev is also the author of Notes for the Journey Within, a Wall Street Journal national bestseller. He has developed 40,000 trainers and inspires a global community of 20 million followers across social media. His talks have been featured at the United Nations, European Union, national parliaments, the World Economic Forum in Davos, and more.

Humanitarian & Peacemaker — Love in Action is Service

From the beginning, Gurudev's vision has found expression in humanitarian work. As individuals experienced personal transformation through his programs, many were inspired to become catalysts for social change. Today, his volunteer network is over a million strong and has contributed to:

• Bringing peace and trauma relief to returning veterans and their families
• Reducing violence and infractions in schools
• Supporting student mental health and mindful recovery from addiction
• Caring for the environment — restoring 70 critical rivers
• Reducing an epidemic of farmer suicides in India
• Caring for refugees in the wake of disaster and war

A Voice for Peace and Nonviolence

Gurudev's approach to peace is both comprehensive and inclusive. In Colombia, he played a key role in facilitating a ceasefire that contributed to ending a five-decade conflict between the government and FARC militants, ultimately leading to the historic 2016 peace accords.

He has also been widely recognised for his pivotal role in the peaceful resolution of the Ayodhya conflict — a centuries-old flashpoint of religious tension. By fostering dialogue and trust among all communities involved, he helped pave the way for a harmonious, violence-free resolution.

Making Life a Celebration — Bringing People Together

Gurudev founded the World Culture Festival — a global celebration that has drawn over seven million people across cities like Washington D.C., New Delhi, Berlin, and Bangalore. These landmark events celebrate unity in diversity, foster harmony, and offer a powerful vision of our collective potential for peaceful coexistence.
