Vishnu Prakash

Vishnu Prakash, a devotee of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, is a renowned Art of Living Teacher and a Kaal Gyaani. As a peace practitioner, mediator and humanitarian worker, he has spent the last decade working at the frontlines of conflict and reconciliation in India’s Northeast - one of South Asia’s most complex and long‑standing insurgency regions.

Leaving behind a successful corporate career, he chose to immerse himself in Gurudev's seva. His work has placed him in the rare position of standing between armed militants, government authorities, villagers and spiritual leadership - holding space where trust was fragile and failure could mean a return to bloodshed.

Inspired by the vision and guidance of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Vishnu has played a quiet yet pivotal role in peacebuilding efforts that led former militant groups to lay down arms and re‑enter society with dignity. His approach blends grounded spirituality with practical action, emphasizing dialogue, service and inner transformation as foundations for lasting peace.

Hanging Boots is his first book - a deeply personal, witness‑account of transformation, courage and the lived reality of peace in action.
