Who Is Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar?
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a globally recognized spiritual leader, humanitarian, and peacemaker, touching the lives of more than 450 million people worldwide. Born in Tamil Nadu, Southern India, Sri Sri was considered a gifted child. By age four, he could already recite the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit text. As a young boy, he studied Vedic literature with a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi. At seventeen, he had already graduated from college with a degree in Physics. He combines the ancient teachings of India with Western learning.
In line with his noble vision of having a violence-free and stress-free world, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar resolves conflicts through self-awareness and dialogue, by teaching positive approaches to living, and by his example of selfless service. He has also released a book, An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker, which I’ve been diving into and loving reading. He has some special techniques for alleviating stress and anxiety, and in this episode, he shared with us a spiritual approach to death, abundance, and purpose.
How Can We Find Spiritual Abundance?
Have you ever felt like there was more to life than just what you could see and touch or that there must be something else out there waiting for you? If so, you’re not alone. A lot of people are looking for spiritual abundance in their lives. But what does that mean, exactly? And how do you find it?
“You need to have balance. You can’t spend half of your health to get wealth and then half of your wealth to get back your health. So basically, we need to find that … work-life balance, … and then social life and personal life, you have to balance that. [So,] take some time for oneself. … Meditation can help a great deal in bringing balance in life, and it can also enkindle a lot of creativity from within you. … So, to be in a consistent state of ‘wow’ is what I would call a spiritual elevation — our spiritual attainment.” – Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
If you’re looking for spiritual abundance in your life, you need to find balance. Many people try to focus on spirituality and forget about the other important aspects of their lives. This can lead to feelings of emptiness and lack of fulfillment. To find true spiritual abundance, you need to embrace all aspects of your life equally — your relationships, your work, and your self-care. Only then will you be able to achieve the sense of wholeness and peace that you’re searching for.
But in order to strike a balance in life, meditation is necessary because it allows us to connect with our inner selves and explore our spirituality in a deep and meaningful way. What many people don’t realize is that meditation isn’t just about finding peace and stillness within ourselves — it can also help us create positive change in the world around us. By learning to meditate, we can become more aware of the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that drive us and learn how to work with them in a constructive way. This makes us happier and more at peace with ourselves and helps us make a difference in the world.
