Blurb:

This substantial chapter links with earlier chapters both in terms of the categories that have been developed in the NRM field and in terms of the history of AoL. Art of Living beliefs and practices are closely related to TM‟s beliefs and practices, as well as contemporary Hinduism more generally. In this chapter we will also trace the most important practices within Art of Living, and bring some perspectives to bear on how Art of Living beliefs and practices are differently/similarly ‘lived’ in different countries. Further, the chapter will present a short overview of AoL courses and some perspectives on yoga in Art of Living. Then we will move on to the movement’s signature practice, Sudarshan Kriya. In this section we will for example examine the frequency of SKY practice and level of involvement in different countries.
