The Art of Living Foundation, established by His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 1981, is a unique global service project that formulates and implements lasting solutions to conflicts and issues faced by individuals, communities and nations. One of the largest volunteer-based organizations in the world, the foundation¹s work has touched more than 300 million people spanning over 140 countries.

Reminding us that diverse traditions and cultures have their roots in the same basic human values of peace, compassion, truth, belongingness and non-violence, the foundation has been serving society with a non-denominational, secular and holistic approach.

 To live life fully and freely is an art, requiring skills, intuition, creativity and knowledge. The Art of Living Foundation, through its many innovative programs, brings these values to our society by strengthening the individual.

The Art of Living initiatives strive to uphold the dignity of every human being on this planet, offering each individual a stress-free mind, a healthy body and the opportunity to maximize their potential for personal and spiritual growth.

The Art of Living Foundation is an international Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in special consultative status with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations participating in a variety of committees and activities relating to health, education, sustainable development and conflict resolution. 

The Foundation has accredited representatives at the United Nations in New York, Geneva and Vienna and also works in formal consultation with the World Health Organization (WHO): "Development of a Global Health Policy for the 21st Century"
