On October 26, 2024, Fijian President Wiliame Katonivere bestowed upon Sri Sri Ravi Shankar the ‘Honourary Officer of the Order of Fiji,’ the nation’s highest civilian honor. This recognition celebrates Gurudev’s outstanding contributions to unity and healing across societies.

Gurudev started the next leg of his “I Stand for Peace” tour in South America from Suriname. He was received by the members of the Parliament and was later awarded the highest civilian award of the country by President Santokhi.

Infused with enthusiasm, vigor and the hope of a better economic future, over 1000 farmers from all over India arrived to attend the three-day Kisan Mahotsav at The Art of Living International Center in the presence of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

Gurudev led the Unveiling Infinity program in Moscow followed by several interactions with dignitaries in Ekaterinburg. His visit concluded with an evening of celebration with Art of Living teachers and volunteers from Russia.

“Whether it is technology, arts or sciences or humanities, it is the universities that give us a universal vision, a vision of what life is, how one should conduct one’s life.”
