More About the Author

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a renowned spiritual leader and global humanitarian whose mission of uniting the world into a violence-free, stress-free global family has inspired millions of people to broaden their share of responsibility and serve society.

Sri Sri has devised practical tools and techniques that help individuals achieve calmness of mind and clarity of thought. Such a state of mind empowers individuals not only to achieve their goals, but it also instills a sense of service and greater connectedness with humanity.

In 1981, Sri Sri established the Art of Living Foundation, an educational organization with a presence in more than 150 countries. The Foundation's self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being.

In 1997, Sri Sri founded the International Association for Human Values (IAHV), a humanitarian organization, which advances human values such as compassion, caring and commitment in political, economic and social spheres.

IAHV and the Art of Living Foundation collaborate on humanitarian initiatives, which include conflict resolution, disaster and trauma relief, environmental conservation, prisoner rehabilitation, youth leadership, women's empowerment, campaigns against female foeticide and child labor, and supporting education for all.

This review is from: Bang on the Door: A Collection of Talks (Paperback)

It really opens up the door to the Inner Self. A collection of short talks which are very simple, yet very very profound. They bring out the knowledge of the Self in the purest form I have ever read. I would say it is not just a reading, it gives a direction to your life. Whenever, I am faced with a difficult situation in my daily life, I open this book and I am sure to find an answer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, June 17, 2000

This review is from: Bang on the Door: A Collection of Talks (Paperback)

This book is the book to read to get a feeling of what Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is all about. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that at one time one could simply knock and the door would be open but today we need to bang on our inner door. "You are locked out of your own house. Bang on your inner door. Right now you are on the doorstep. Do not delay a moment. All wealth is within you. When your inner door opens, there is love, just love."
