Origin of Sudarshan Kriya
http://www.artofliving.org/sudarshankriya-origin
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, now spiritual guru to millions across the world, entered a ten-day period of silence in Shimoga, Karnataka, India.
“I had already traveled around the world. I had taught yoga, asanas, and meditation. But still I was concerned about how to help people live a happy life. I felt there was something that was lacking. Though people do their spiritual practices, their life is in compartments. They do their prayers, meditation, and spiritual practices but when they come out in life, they are very different people. So, I was thinking how we can bridge this gap-between inner silence and outer expression of life.
During a ten-day period of silence (in Shimoga), the Sudarshan Kriya came like an inspiration. Nature knows what to give and when to give. After I came out of the silence, I started teaching whatever I knew and people had great experiences.”
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Since then, Sudarshan Kriya - the powerful, rhythmic breathing technique - has been the cornerstone of all Art of Living courses. The first course was held at Shimoga, where Sri Sri Ravi Shankar taught Sudarshan Kriya. With Art of Living courses and Sudarshan Kriya, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has introduced yoga, pranayam, and meditation into the daily lives of millions over the last three decades.
