Indian spiritual leader, His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar will speak at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem today, Monday, October 19, in his only public speaking engagement in Israel.

His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, 53, is an internationally renowned spiritual leader whose mission of uniting the world into a violence-free family brought him to establish the non-profit 'Art of Living Foundation' in 1981, which offers self-help programs and is active in more than 140 countries. In 1997, H.H. Shankar further founded the non-profit 'International Association for Human Values', which advances human values and leads sustainable development projects.

Sri Sri has reached out to an estimated 300 million people worldwide through personal interactions, public events and teachings and his expertise in brining together opposing parties to the negotiating table in Sri Lanka, Iraq, Cameroon and Kashmir is widely acknowledged.

H.H. Sri Sri will be in Israel to participate in the President's Conference that is this year being organized in cooperation with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. As part of his visit to Israel, he will also visit the Knesset, meet with business leaders, and deliver a number of courses, including spiritual techniques and meditation that, according to him, have already helped thousands of people around the world to overcome depression and violence.

The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in the Ezequiel Liwerant-Fomento Mexico Hall on Mount Scopus campus.

The lecture will be in English and will be open to the public. Doors will open at 5.30 p.m. The number of places is limited, so please arrive early to ensure entrance.

The lecture will be broadcast live via the following link:
