Nashville will get its chance to find true happiness when international peace ambassador Sri Sri Ravi Shankar comes to speak at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Oct. 21 at 7 p.m.

Shankar will guide Nashville residents through a meditation event titled "Secrets to Being Truly Happy," which coincides with his foundation's Truly Happy platform.

"We are here for just 60-100 years," Shankar said in a press release. "This short span of life we spend on this planet is better spent happily and spreading happiness instead of bickering for various things, conflict, and war."

Named one of the five most powerful people in India by Forbes Magazine, Shankar travels to more than 40 countries and 200 cities a year to meet with world leaders, mediate in conflict situations and oversee initiatives in meditation, self-development, corporate leadership, youth empowerment and prisoner rehabilitation.

His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a global humanitarian and founder of the Art of Living Foundation, will visit Chicago October 23-25, 2014. A world peace leader and a happiness expert, Sri Sri's visit marks a unique opportunity for Chicagoans to take the Art of Living Happiness Program and learn meditation to gain deep insights into managing one's mind and emotions and live a truly happy life.

Sri Sri's vision of a violence-free and stress-free society has united millions of people around the globe. This trip follows his visits from earlier this year when he launched a multi-city Stress-Free, Violence-Free campaign in the U.S. On July 12, 2014, Sri Sri unveiled the global happiness platform called Truly Happy that allows individuals to experience, track and grow happiness. Sri Sri is now coming to Chicago to empower individuals and strengthen the local community. The Happiness Program teaches practical tools to manage the mind and emotions so that an individual can live with greater purpose and fulfillment. This dynamic workshop allows one to tap vast possibilities within and discover one's unlimited power and freedom.

"An incredible leader who has transformed the lives of many, Sri Sri has offered lifestyle techniques which greatly enhance the quality of one's mind and hence the quality of one's life. This is a rare opportunity to spend time with him and experience happiness through the skillful use of the breath," said Scott Barsotti, president of the U.S. Art of Living Foundation.

Art of Living Guru to Grace the First Convocation of Sri Sri University in Odisha

---

---

Art of Living Guru and founder of Sri Sri University, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar would grace the first convocation for the charter MBA batch of 2012-2014 of the university at the Mayfair convention centre in Odisha’s capital city on September 3.

The function would be attended by chief minister Naveen Patnaik, besides Higher Education minister Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi.

The Sri Sri University Award for Excellence will be distributed to outstanding students on the occasion.

The convocation will also feature the launch of Sri Sri University’s Master of Arts Program in Good Governance by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

The two-year masters program aims to train young leaders in political, corporate, NGO, political and administrative governance.

The program is designed to create ethical and effective leaders who wish to participate in electoral politics, become CSR (corporate social responsibility) managers in the corporate sector, promote or manage civil societies or NGOs, aspire to become civil servants or public relations managers or join the policy think tank in governments, nationally and internationally. The event will also feature the launch of the Post Graduate Program in Financial Markets, a collaborative program with the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd which offers the program only in three other premier institutes in the country.

Speaking about the significance of the convocation at a press briefing here, vice chancellor of Sri Sri University Dr KC Mishra said convocation is full of symbolism. It is a ritual which proclaims the glorious inheritance and traditions of the University. Sri Sri University is dispensing with the regalia worn at the time of convocation as it is not a tradition having spiritual and cultural bearing.

“The first convocation of the university remains most nostalgic as it goes into the annals of history,” he added.
