Our Values

MISSION

We serve society by strengthening the individual

“The Art of Living is more of a principle, a philosophy of living life to its fullest. It is more a movement than an organization. Its core value is to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society – of different cultures, traditions, religions, nationalities; and thus reminding us all that we have one goal to uplift human life everywhere.” 
- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
