we are Nothing!
AiR — Atman in Ravi, is a Spiritual Mentor, Transformational Author, Singer and a Philanthropist. He is on a mission to help people discover the way to Eternal Happiness through Enlightenment.
AiR lived a life of success, fame, fortune and achievement. But that was before he took the road less travelled. He was an iconic entrepreneur who transformed retailing in India, only to walk away from the mega retail empire he had created. He shut down his business when he was 40 and started making a difference doing - Humanitarian, Inspirational and Spiritual work. AiR opened three destitute homes known as AiR Humanitarian Homes spread across Bengaluru, that today, care for over 800 homeless and needy people - their food, clothing, medicines and hospitalization. They are all a part of the AiR family!
Like anybody else, AiR started his life being religious. He built a Shiva temple in 1995. Subsequently, inspired by his Guru, he realized that God lives in the temple of our heart and he changed the name of the temple to Shivoham Shiva temple. Now, he doesn't pray to Shiva but prays through Shiva, to SIP, the Supreme Immortal Power that is nameless and formless, birthless and deathless, the Divine Power that is everywhere, in everything.
His Realizations resulted in his own metamorphosis as he realized that we are the Soul, the Atman, a part of the Supreme Immortal Power. He let go of his given name and called himself AiR – Atman in Ravi, which means, the Soul embodied as Ravi. AiR, now, lives as an instrument of God, doing His Divine Will.
On his mission to spread Eternal Happiness through Enlightenment, AiR has founded the AiR Institute of Realization to reach out to the global community of seekers. He has also established the AiR Centre of Enlightenment which is envisaged as an Abode of Spirituality, especially for seekers who are new in their Spiritual journey, eager to learn and explore Spirituality and evolve on their path towards Enlightenment. Not restricted to seekers of Enlightenment, it also welcomes and gives various pursuits to those who seek joy, peace, happiness and solace.
Based on his Realizations, AiR has authored over 70 books, composed and sung about 1400 Bhajans and written several blogs, quotes and poems. He conducts Spiritual Retreats and organizes talks to help people evolve on their spiritual journey. He is a TEDx speaker and is often invited to speak at several organizations, corporates and universities. He conducts daily webinars on Zoom, Facebook and Instagram Live to help people realize the ultimate purpose of life — Enlightenment. AiR believes that success cannot lead to happiness; only happiness can lead to success. To him, happiness has three peaks – Achievement, Fulfilment and the ultimate peak, Enlightenment, where one is liberated from all misery and sorrow and attains Eternal Bliss in the Consciousness of the Truth.
