Gurudev Takes the Stage at the World's No. 1 Music Festival

Something rare happened on May 10th in Bengaluru.

Tomorrowland draws 400,000 people to a small Belgian town every summer. It is the world’s largest electronic music festival — a cathedral of sound, spectacle, and collective energy built around the experience of being transported and even transcending through music. On July 23, 2026, thousands of those people came to hear Gurudev speak about what lies on the other side of that search.

Gurudev, Does World Peace Start in the Heart? w/ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar | Soul Boom | Ep 25

In this insightful conversation, Robert Waldinger, Harvard professor and Director of the Longest Study on Happiness, sits down with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living, to explore the profound connections between the mind, body, and soul. They discuss the challenge of overcoming depression, how the mind can feel like a prison, and the importance of cultivating energy through meditation and awareness. Gurudev shares wisdom on the three bodies—the gross, subtle, and causal—and how meditation, breathing techniques, and music can awaken the subtle body, ultimately leading to a life of service and fulfillment. Waldinger, reflecting on his work with medical students, asks about the deeper meaning of a soul free from sorrow, and how to help others expand their awareness beyond the limits of the physical body, even when faced with illness. Together, they explore ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools for cultivating happiness, developing intuition, and finding freedom from sorrow. 🔗 Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction: Meeting of Minds on Happiness 2:10 - The Prison of Depression and Energizing the Subtle Body 4:45 - Intuition and the Beginner's Mind 5:08 - Tapping Into the Freshness of Children's Minds 5:20 - Training Over 100,000 Kids in Intuition 5:31 - The Wisdom of Beginner’s Mind and Zen Philosophy 5:44 - The Possibilities of Teaching Intuition to Children About #Gurudev - World-renowned humanitarian, spiritual leader, and an ambassador of peace and human values.

Indian Mystic REVEALS EVERYTHING You Know About the UNIVERSE is WRONG | Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

As a society, we’ve become aversive to the title of Guru, and I think for good cause. But this week’s podcast guest, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar, holds a presence and an essence about him that, in my mind, makes him worthy of such a title. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a global humanitarian, spiritual leader, and peace envoy, who has been teaching breath-based meditation techniques for more than 40 years. In this conversation, we talk about the differences between spirituality and religion, the power of wonder, what true tolerance and forgiveness looks like, as well as a Q&A with the live audience that was present as we were recording this.

I recorded this podcast in person with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living Center in Los Angeles. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a leader of an international movement with more than 50 million followers who do breathwork every single morning. He has worked for 40 years as a global ambassador for peace at the highest levels.

It was a joy to chat with him in person and his childlike curiosity, enthusiasm for teaching, and deep understanding of the world are echoed in every word of this episode.

EPISODE #1020: Is Curiosity the Key to Life, Science & Everything? – Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

All through our lives we’ve heard the word Karma mentioned in books, movies, anecdotes, everywhere! But what exactly is Karma?! In this episode of Ask Gurudev Anything, Gurudev breaks all the myths around Karma, delving into science of Karma and in doing so unravels all its secrets! Everything about good karma, bad karma, past karmas is finally explained!! This really is instant karma!! *In this profound and enlightening talk, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explains the true meaning of karma, its different types, and how impressions of actions shape our life experiences. He clarifies misconceptions about karma, free will, and destiny while highlighting the role of awareness in transcending karmic bondage.** **Gurudev shares timeless wisdom on:** 🌿 Karma means action—thoughts, feelings, and deeds all create impressions ❤️ There are three types of karma: sanchita (accumulated), agami (future), and prarabdha (manifested) 💡 Only prarabdha karma must be experienced, while sanchita and agami can be nullified through awareness and right action 🌍 Karma is not fatalism—the way of karma is vast and unfathomable, and grace also plays a role 💰 Impressions of actions, not just actions themselves, create karmic bondage 🌸 Like a mirror free of impressions, an enlightened person acts without accumulating karma **🙏 Key Insight:** “Karma is action, but it binds you only when your intellect identifies with the action.
