AiR — Atman in Ravi is an Awakened Soul, Transformational Author, Singer, Philanthropist and a Global Happpiness Ambassador, on a mission to help people discover the way to Eternal Happpiness through Enlightenment.
Before his spiritual awakening, AiR was an iconic entrepreneur who transformed India’s retail landscape. At the peak of success, having built a mega retail empire, he made an extraordinary choice — he walked away. At just 40, AiR shut down his business to dedicate his life to humanitarian, inspirational and spiritual service.
His compassion found expression through the AiR Humanitarian Homes in Bengaluru, which today care for over 600 homeless and needy individuals, offering dignity, shelter and hope.
Like most seekers, AiR began as a religious devotee and built a Shiva temple in 1995. Guided by his Guru and inner realization, he discovered that God lives in the temple of our heart. He renamed it Shivoham Shiva Temple, symbolizing this awakening.
Today, AiR does not pray to Shiva, but prays through Shiva — to SIP, the Supreme Immortal Power, which is nameless, formless, birthless, deathless, omnipresent and eternal.
These realizations led to a profound transformation. AiR realized that we are not the body or the mind — we are the Soul, the Atman, a spark of the Supreme Immortal Power. Letting go of his given name, he became AiR — Atman in Ravi, living as an instrument of the Divine.
To guide seekers globally, AiR founded the AiR Institute of Realization, dedicated to spreading spiritual wisdom and helping people discover the Ultimate Truth.
Based on his realizations, AiR has authored over 100 books, composed and sung 1500+ Bhajans (Jeevan Sangeet), and written countless blogs, quotes and poems. A TEDx speaker, he conducts spiritual retreats, delivers talks worldwide, and guides seekers through daily live sessions.
AiR emphasizes that spirituality is not about renouncing the world, but living in it with the realization of Truth. While religion builds faith in God, spirituality leads to God-realization — freedom from Karma and the cycle of birth and death.
Every evening at 8 PM, AiR is available live on Zoom through ‘Ask AiR’, answering questions on life, death, Happpiness, suffering, Karma, God, spirituality and the afterlife — guiding seekers on the path to Enlightenment and God-Realization.
