Mumbai, 12th November ’24: During a recent visit to the tranquil Art of Living Triveni Ashram in Pune, renowned industrialist and philanthropist Dr. Dinesh Shahra reflected on the profound impact of spirituality in his life. Founded by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Triveni Ashram stands as a sanctuary for spiritual growth and self-discovery.
In an inspiring gesture, Swami Pranavananda ji invited Dr. Shahra onto the stage, honoring him and commending his contributions to Sanatan values through his literary work and foundation initiatives. Dr. Shahra presented his recent book, Sanatan Avatar, which explores why Gurudev is regarded as a modern-day avatar and details how his global spiritual movement, the Art of Living, has touched the lives of millions worldwide.
Dr. Shahra remarked, “Triveni Ashram is a beacon of spirituality and a divine gift from Gurudev to the people of Pune. I am deeply inspired by the energy of the volunteers and their passion to spread Gurudev’s message of universal peace, love, and joy.”
In his concluding message, Dr. Shahra expressed his commitment to continuing Gurudev’s mission of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam—the world is one family. Drawing strength from Gurudev’s blessings, Dr. Shahra affirmed his dedication to creating lasting social impact and fostering a more compassionate, united world.

Providing Financial Freedom through Online and Offline Platforms: Educating 15,000 Students Across India and Abroad
Indore (Madhya Pradesh) [India]: Achieving financial independence means having enough income, savings, or investments to live comfortably for life, meet all obligations without relying on a paycheck. This is the ultimate goal of a long-term financial plan. Rahul Kumar Joshi and Shailendra Maurya are helping many achieve this goal by educating them about financial security and making them aware of scams that promise quick profits or doubling money in a short time.
Rahul shares that he has been working in the financial sector since his engineering days. After completing engineering in 2013, he began offering free financial freedom awareness sessions through YouTube and webinars.
Through these free webinars and his YouTube channel, many people who had fallen victim to cyber frauds joined his sessions. This experience showed him the need to raise awareness about financial fraud and market scams among everyone. This led to the founding of The Trading Institute in 2018. This institute guides people on financial planning, creating emergency funds, making various types of investments, and provides knowledge about the stock market and national and international markets.
Shailendra adds that the institute offers online and offline knowledge sessions covering the security market, money market, money management, risk management, and asset maintenance.
Moreover, these knowledge sessions will soon be conducted in schools, colleges, and other venues to reach a broader audience and raise awareness.
Let’s become financially independent and contribute to building a strong, empowered society.
