MESSAGE
Knowledge is more than just knowing, it is also about being.
Learning is one aspect of education but the space that the
learning creates within you is what knowledge is. Many saints
in our history were not educated but they spread wisdom all
around. It is one's state of being from where knowledge flows.
Knowledge is a combination of knowing and being, learning
and unlearning. I congratulate the graduating students of this
year as they move to a new phase of growth outside the
campus.
Blessings and Best Wishes
Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

message from the vice chancellor
Dr. Nand Lal
Vice Chancellor
Sri Sri University
I extend my heartiest congratulations to the students graduating in the 5th convocation of
Sri Sri University.
With each passing year, the progress and development of Sri Sri University is taking this
institution forward on its march to academic excellence. Our innovative academic curriculum
is constantly updated, enabling students to explore new fields of study and provide them with a
much wider array of academic interest and pursuits.
Today’s event marks another milestone in the short history of Sri Sri University as well as a
milestone in your life. From the academic world you enter into a world full of opportunities,
challenges, and yes, frustrations even, but I am confident that we have prepared you well to
face all challenges and establish yourself as worthy citizens. You are our brand ambassadors to
the world. You will make us all proud, I am sure. I would urge upon all of you to not only work
towards your self-improvement, but to give something back to the society that has nurtured you
all along. Never measure your success by your material goals, but by the knowledge and wisdom
that you will continue to gain.
I thank all the parents and guardians for entrusting us with their greatest assets- their children.
I am confident that your trust will be further strengthened when you see them successful in
their life. I urge the graduating students never to forget the sacrifices made by their parents and
guardians. Now is the time to pay back the debt.
We are indebted to the founder of this University Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar for being our
mentor and guide. I am also grateful to the members of the Board of Governors (BoG), and the
Academic Council for their wise counsel. I want to thank the members of the faculty and the
staff for their dedication and hard work that has culminated in producing over 300 graduates
receiving their degree today.
I wish all the graduating students the very best and awaits news of the laurels and pride that you
bring to your alma mater.

message from the director operations
Mr. Narendra Lamba
Director Operartions
Sri Sri University
A farmer used to win the award for ‘Best Crop’ in the region every year. When a journalist asked
him for the secret behind his repeated victories, the farmer responded simply “I use the best
seed available in the market and I share my seed with my neighbouring filed owners as well.
Sharing my high quality seeds with neighbors is probably the only unique thing I do. If they use
poor quality seed, then the weeds will grow in their fields and will come to my field and spoil
the crop.” It is only wise to surround ourselves with the right people and help them in any and
every appropriate way.
Let us share the seeds of happiness in our neighbourhood and their neighbourhood and make
our society more harmonious than what we had got. That is our dakshina.
I congratulate and wish good luck to all the graduates.

I am very confident of the steps & strides SSU has undertaken to
become a leading Education Institution of maximum Social Impact
in India. Add to this the emphasis on Ethics, Entrepreneurship,
Health & Happiness - make it a winning combination for any
student that enrolls here. Undoubtedly a Dream-College, for any
Parent to send their child here!
Dr Alfred Balitzer
Member, Board of Governors, Sri Sri University
Operating under the Blessing and vision of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,
the University has made enormous strides in its development of
providing a quality education to some of India’s most deserving
students.
It is hard to imagine that we have reached the fifth convocation as
so much has been accomplished in these few short years. I want
to salute the students who will take their degrees and enter the world refreshed by a first rate
education and inspiration for a lifetime. I also want to salute the faculty for their tireless labour
in taking what they have learned and imparting it to a new generation.
Finally, I want to salute the President and Administration of Sri Sri University who do the
necessary and often unsung work of building a university in record time, undertaking the hard
work of raising funds to maintain the educational and capital programs, and whose dedication
to the vision of Sri Sri keeps the university headed in the right direction.
My only regret is that I cannot be with you all for the convocation.

UMBRELLA
An umbrella is functional when its user will unfold the umbrella.
And when in rain and you open the umbrella, then this umbrella
almost behaves like a temporary shelter. A university is a shelter
for teaching faculty, administrative staff and students. All other
stake holders and residents in campus at SRI SRI UNIVERSITY,
also can open to SRI SRI UNIVERSITY as their shelter.
Here, people in the year one, is a beginner. They are justified, to experience an ignorance of
infrastructure, departments, other officers and fellow students. But then there, is an indicator
for quality of the umbrella. The person, who arrives to this shelter of education, is cared for,
made to feel, the welcome. SRI SRI UNIVERSITY can be treated as a home, to those who enroll
as a new candidate.
Academic disciplines, educational methods apart, SRI SRI UNIVERSITY has matured to, hand
hold the seeker and learner, through their survival to more mature stages. Soon these new
enrollments, graduate to be mentor to junior aspirants. The seniors, support and encourage
the vulnerable students and slow learners. The Human Resources infrastructure is equipped to
consult to those who need more attention.
The teaching personnel are sincere to keep vigil, to enable conceptual learning in the students.
The environment is being built so that, the performance and productivity are optimized.
There are multiple personality development programs at SRI SRI UNIVERSITY. These techniques
empower and enrich the practitioners. The practitioners of breathing and meditations, learn to
endure and accept educational pressures. They get the keenness to do experiential and factual
learning. The meditation practices, increases capacity to grasp and absorb the topic and stream
of the lessons and education. Assimilating, comprehending and studying new subjects must
become, the initiative and interest in the student.
SRI SRI UNIVERSITY, has evolved in to a campus that works to develop aptitude in the seekers
and students and learners. Excellency is the target. Expertise is goal. Brilliance is the method.
The sport and outdoor games at SRI SRI UNIVERSITY, keeps the athletic students and others as
tough and strong. Keeping fit with good stamina is essential. With lots of research, the students
discover the avenues of holistic education.
I am proud to be a part of this umbrella and shelter. The SRI SRI UNIVERSITY is certainly
showing signs of graduating in to a home, to those who decided to enroll.
My congratulations to those students, who graduates today. They will convey the light from
SRI SRI UNIVERSITY.
My congratulations to the parents of the students. You bestowed upon them, your shining
decisions and choice of SRI SRI UNIVERSITY. We can, bring this light to all places, that we go
to. Here is the demonstration of an educational home.
