On September 9, 2012, over 150,000 people in Buenos Aires and over 100 cities worldwide joined Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in a mass meditation. The "Planet Meditates" event was part of Sri Sri's 4-day tour to Argentina in 2012 that created waves globally.
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar founded The Art of Living as an international, non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization in 1982. Its educational and self-development programs offer powerful tools to eliminate stress and foster a sense of well-being through powerful breathing techniques such as Sudarshan Kriya and Yoga. Appealing not only to a specific population, these practices have proven effective globally at all levels of society.
