AiR – Atman in Ravi, is a Realized Soul whose mission in life is to ‘Help People Realize the Truth about Life and be Enlightened’. AiR's journey of material achievements lasted for a good 25 years, as he went from one peak of success to another. He had revolutionized retailing in India with the iconic megastores - KidsKemp, Big KidsKemp and Kemp Fort. But after making millions, he realized that life is not about making money, attaining fame and success. 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 spread across Bengaluru, that today, take care of over 800 homeless and needy people - their food, clothing, medicines and hospitalization. They are a part of the AiR family!
Like anybody else, AiR started his life being religious and he founded a Shiva temple in 1995. Subsequently, 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 Power of the Divine that is everywhere, in everything.
AiR has only one mission in life - to help people realize the truth, to be enlightened, by overcoming the ignorance that we all grow up with.
Based on his Realizations, AiR has written over 65 books, composed and sung about 1400 Bhajans, written several blogs, quotes and poems. AiR conducts Spiritual Retreats and organizes talks to help people evolve on their spiritual journey. He is a TEDx speaker, and is also invited to speak at several organizations, corporates and universities. He conducts webinars every day on Zoom, Facebook and Insta Live to help people realize the ultimate purpose of life. AiR talks about how success cannot lead to happiness; only happiness can lead to success. To him, happiness has three peaks – Achievement, Fulfilment and the ultimate peak of Enlightenment where one is liberated from all misery and sorrow. In AiR’s own words,
Started with Nothing,
Became Something...
Achieved Everything,
Only to Realize, we are Nothing!
