Sudarshan Kriya

enhance brain, hormone, immune and cardiovascular system function.
reduces stress, depression, anxiety and PTSD, and increases well-being both mentally and physically.
Research also demonstrates that the effects of SKY reach all the way down to the molecular level, to our DNA

Restoration and Enhancement of Vibrant Mental Health


  • Relieves anxiety & depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms and stress levels
    • even for whom medication and psychotherapy treatments had failed.
    • depressed patients experienced a 68-73% remission rate within one month.
    • Significant reductions in PTSD symptoms were found in 6 weeks and the 60% reduction was sustained 6 months later without any follow up.
  • Reduces impulsive and addictive behaviors
  • Improved emotional regulation 
  • Increases levels of optimism, well being and quality of life

Enhanced brain functioning:

  • Increased mental focus / heightened awareness

Improved Quality of Sleep:

  • 3x more time spent in deep restful stages of sleep

Physical Well-being:

Enhanced biochemical status:

  • Reduced biochemical markers of stress: cortisol , corticotrophin blood lactate, ACTH, and plasma MDA
  • Since stressful physiological responses negatively impact immune, cardiovascular, endocrine and mental health, this has significant implications for wellness.
  • 33% increase in the well-being hormone prolactin from the very first session.
  • Increased levels of antioxidant enzymes (glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase) which protect us from many diseases and rapid aging.

Enhanced immune function:

  • Improved immune cell counts in apparently healthy individuals 
    • Some documented within three weeks (neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelet count )
  • Improved immune cell counts in health compromised individuals seen in 12 weeks (Natural Killer Cells)
  • Beneficial changes in our DNA which support an increased life span of white blood cells, our immunity cells.

Enhanced Cardiovascular and Respiratory Function:

  • Reduced heart rate in both healthy and health compromised individuals.
  • Reduced blood pressure in both healthy and health compromised individuals.
  • Improved cholesterol and triglyceride (lipid) profile: as early as 3 weeks, with no change in diet
  • Improved respiratory function: where respiration rate dropped by 5% in 1 week and 15% in 12 weeks and lung (vital) capacity increased.

It significantly increases feelings of well-being, optimism and mental focus and improves emotion regulation.

In addition, SKY is associated with enhanced  cardio-respiratory function, antioxidant status and immune system function. The practice has even been shown to positively impact gene expression, suggesting that the effects of SKY span all levels of the physiology from the DNA within our molecules to organ systems.

SKY may be an efficient tool for rapidly strengthening both mind and body.

Gurudev, you have said that meditation helps our ancestors. When we start mediating the first thing we do is we pay off a debt for our ancestors or give them something. Can you explain this a little further?

Gurudev, you have said that meditation helps our ancestors. When we start mediating the first thing we do is we pay off a debt for our ancestors or give them something. Can you explain this a little further? Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:  Yes, see like your DNA, your body is connected to your parents or to your very close friends. Haven’t you experienced this? Someone very close to you has some problem and you start feeling it in your body. How many have experienced this? So, on the physical level you are connected and more subtle than that is your subtle body. You’re connected to ancestor’s, to your parents. How many of you keep getting dreams of people who have already passed, who have crossed over to other side? So, your mind and your consciousness are linked. So there is a constant energy exchange. Every time you meditate you are generating energy and that energy goes that way also. When you have cleared all these debts, that’s when you’re called a monk...

Q:Can you please say something about the Devikavacham?

Q:Can you please say something about the Devikavacham? Gurudev HH Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji : The Devikavacham is the different names of the Devi taken to different parts of the body. It’s almost like Yoga Nidra but with names because every name has got some quality and some energy, and name and form are very closely related. ‘Kavach’ means armour, creating an armour around us. It’s very nice. The Devikavacham says the Mother Divine’s names that makes an armour around us, around our body. Especially during Navaratris, this is done on all the nine days. It is very important. Sit and listen to it. The protection is anyway there, but the listening somewhere does something -- it elevates one’s spirit.
