Krithika, it’s hard not to respect a culture that has given us Bhaag Milka Bhaag, Jiddhu Krishnamurti and naan bread 😁

Thank you for the information. Art of Living seems very similar to the Self-realization Fellowship founded by Paramansa Yogananda. Do they compare? I wasn’t able to find much specifics on what Art of Living does, in terms of furthering ones growth. Aside from the breath technique (which was not revealed).

I’m glad to hear that you’ve found a spiritual outlet that enables you to be at your happiest, and teaches about your heritage. There is much to be proud about. Western civilization has benefited greatly from the idea of chakras, pranayama, meditation and yoga. India and Hinduism has given us the tools and means to fully realize our potential and understanding of what lays beyond the veil. I can’t imagine what our society would look like if the Beatles haven’t traveled to India in the 60s. Even our music has been transformed by Indian culture.

Once again, thank you. Much appreciated! 😊
