He firmly believes that “a violence-free society, disease-free body, quiver-free breath, stress-free mind, inhibition-free intellect, trauma-free memory and sorrow-free soul is the birthright of every human being”.

His vision supersedes limitations of race, nationality and religion - with an emphasis on a “One-World Family”.   

One of the flagship programs taught by The Art of Living is the Happiness Program.

Researched by Yale University and Harvard Medical School, the program, empowers one with evidence-based tools and techniques to shift challenging emotions and mental states of stress and anxiety to ease, calm and clarity.
