At his early age, his father delegated him to the care of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Shankar joined Maharishi’s entourage, taught the Vedic pundits at Maharishi’s charities, and soon became the Maharishi’s favorite disciple.[citation needed] In the early 1990s, Shankar added the honorific Sri Sri to his own name Ravi Shankar after the renowned sitarist Ravi Shankar objected that the guru was capitalizing on the latter’s fame.[1]In an interview, Shankar said that in 1982, after a ten-day retreat into silence on the banks of the Bhadra river in Shimoga in Karnataka, India, “Sudarshana Kriya”, a rhythmic breathing exercise, came to Sri Sri “like a poem, an inspiration”. He added, “I learned it and started teaching it.”[2][8] Shankar says that every emotion has a corresponding rhythm in the breath, and believes that regulating breath could help people with their suffering.[9] Philosophy Shankar Sri emphasizes breath as the link between body and mind and therefore a tool to relax the mind. He emphasizes both meditation and service to others. According to him, science and spirituality are linked and consistent. His stated vision is to create a world which is free of stress and violence through acquisition of wisdom, and his programs aim to offer practical tools to accomplish wisdom. In his view, “Truth is spherical rather than linear; so it has to be contradictory.” “Anything that is spherical is always contradictory,” says Sri Sri.[10][edit] Sudarshan KriyaMain article: Sudarshan KriyaSudarshan Kriya is the core component of the Art of Living courses. Persons enrolling for the courses are required to sign non-disclosure agreements, so that specifics of the Sudarshan Kriya technique are not made public [16]. However, some of the starting “asanas” and exercises have been disclosed in a newspaper article [17].The Art of Living Foundation (AOLF) offers many programs centered on Sudarshan Kriya, meditation and group-dynamics. The organization teaches Breath Water Sound workshops (or Nav-Chetna Shibirs) in distressed urban and rural areas, and also provides prison programs, free of charge. The fees for other AOLF courses vary from country to country. (In the USA, the regular course fee is $375.) College students are traditionally given discounts. The AOLF sponsors various events, at which participants can take courses at reduced prices.[edit] Honors and awardsFollowing are some of the awards that Sri Sri Ravishankar has received [18]:Doctor of Srini Memorial Award by Srini International Organizations, Nellore, India, 2008 Doctor of Letters Honoris Causa by Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda, India, 2007 National Veterans Foundation Award, USA, 2007 Honorary Doctorate of Science by Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, India, 2007 Varshada Kannadiga (Kannadiga of the Year) by ETV, 2007 Leadership Award for Extraordinary Promotion for World Peace and Harmony by Amity University, 2007 Sant Shri Dnyaneshwara World Peace Prize 2006 by World Peace Centre, Pune Doctor of Philosophy (Holistic Medicine) by Open International University for Complementary Medicine, Sri Lanka Order of the Pole Star 2006, highest state honour by the President of Mongolia Fervent Global Love of Life 2006 by the Cultural and Education Foundation of Human Life, Taiwan Peter the Great, First Grade Award, Russian Federation, 2006 Mongolian Prime Minister’s Award, 2006 Mahavir-Mahatma Award for Contribution to Peace, Times Foundation, India, 2005 Dara Shikoh National Award for Harmony, New Delhi, 2005 Global Humanitarian Award, Illinois, USA, 2005 Member of Martin Luther Collegium of Scholars, 2005 Bharat Shiromani Award, New Delhi, India, 2004 Honorary Doctorate of Literature from Kuvempu University, Karnataka, India The Illustrious Visitors Award, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 2004 Phoenix Award, Atlanta, USA, 2002 Guru Mahatmya Award, Government of Maharashtra, India, 1997 Title of Yoga Shiromani (Supreme Jewel of Yoga), President of India, 1986
