From the Vedic saints of ancient times to the teachings of Buddha, the entire existence of humankind and the universe as a whole is based on the balance of meditation. One such popular school of thought for more than three decades has been the Art of Living, an organization spearheaded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
You don’t even have to be particularly religious to make sense of the mantra that the Art of Living offers, which is simply achieving a stress-free mind and a violence-free society for global peace. Whether the teachings of the Art of Living are starting to speak to you or you’re already a staunch fan, here are some of the must-have apps for the Art of Living fans.
Sri Sri
A convenient app designed and created by the Art of Living fans themselves, the Sri Sri app is your virtual connection to the Guruji himself. Offering a variety of free live webcasts every Thursday along with special broadcasts as well, the app is home to some of the most inspirational quotes from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar right at your fingertips.

VVKICRM Teachers App
This one is a helpful tool for the Art of Living teachers where the users get a platform to manage events, programs and participants on a single platform. The app is easy to use and allows you to access and update data. However, the app loads fairly slow that may come across as an annoying factor for some users.
