Imagine standing at a crossroads, watching a loved one lose their way to addiction, feeling the helplessness seep in as you search for ways to bring them back. Sometimes, all it takes is a compassionate listener or an experienced counselor to turn the tide. In this episode of We Are Listening!, Pulkit Garg speaks with the extraordinary Ravi Valluri, a seasoned counselor, faculty member at the Art of Living, and a retired Indian Railways executive. Ravi shares his inspiring journey from battling his own addiction to guiding countless individuals out of the depths of substance abuse.
Ravi reveals the realities behind addiction’s grip, breaking myths about “controlled drinking” and “stress-relieving cigarettes.” From firsthand experiences to profound insights into human resilience, Ravi discusses the physical, emotional, and spiritual practices that can pave the way to recovery. Discover how he found healing through Art of Living’s Sudarshan Kriya and learn about the transformative power of yoga, meditation, and a supportive community.
