Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, renowned for his transformative impact on millions globally, is set to make a rare appearance in New Zealand. On October 24, the esteemed spiritual leader will host a public event at the Aotea Centre in Auckland, offering attendees a unique opportunity to absorb his wisdom and insights drawn from decades of dedicated service to the global community.
This exclusive one-night event promises to be enlightening as Gurudev shares his lifelong journey, including his experiences at prestigious platforms such as the United Nations, the European Parliament, and the World Economic Forum. He has also spoken at leading American universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, and the University of Southern California. His remarkable contributions to humanitarian efforts have garnered him thirty-eight governmental awards, including the highest civilian honours from countries like Colombia, Mongolia, Paraguay, and India. Additionally, twenty-one universities have bestowed honorary doctorates upon him for his efforts in humanitarian work and conflict resolution.
Gurudev’s ability to distill complex issues into accessible truths resonates deeply with audiences, fostering a sense of peace and clarity. As the founder of the Art of Living in 1981, his programs have expanded to over 180 countries, serving as a philosophy for living life to its fullest. “The core value is to find peace within oneself and unite people across diverse cultures and traditions,” Gurudev explains, underscoring the movement’s mission to uplift human life globally.
His teachings, which include breathwork and meditation practices, have been particularly beneficial in New Zealand during traumatic events like the Christchurch earthquakes. “Gurudev's timeless message of peace is especially relevant today, as many face the stressors of modern life, including climate issues, economic challenges, and the aftermath of COVID-19,” says Andrew Melville, National Teacher Coordinator for the Art of Living in New Zealand. “We encourage everyone to come and hear his inspiring message.”
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar embodies the legacy of leaders like Gandhi, advocating for peace and unity on a global scale. Opportunities to engage with such influential figures are rare, making this event a must-attend for those seeking inspiration and connection.
