Be there when BMW Park Munich transforms into a place of pure magic.
Gurudev will guide you through powerful breathwork and meditation.
In his presence, something shifts – transformation, real connection and a joy that stays with you.
Real happiness, from within – as a lived experience.
Happiness is right here and now.
Don’t wait to be happy later. Be happy now.
Since 1981, Gurudev has taught breath-based meditation techniques for total well-being, touching the lives of over 800 million people worldwide.
His unique gifts of insight, communication, and inspiration have also helped resolve conflicts and build community on local, national, and international fronts.
Inner Happiness which lasts
In a time when so much is rearranging itself – careers, markets, priorities – many of us sense: now is the moment to find out who I really am.
We can rarely change the circumstances out there – but what happens within us, we can. There is a freedom that no one can give you and no one can take away. Meditation and breath open the way to it. And you learn to keep it.
Celebrate with thousands of people walking the same path as you.
“You begin to see what’s been holding you back.”
With Gurudev, it’s not just learning. It’s a shift. Old patterns drop. The noise in the mind clears. You begin to see what’s been holding you back, and it starts to fall away.

“It’s real change.”
It’s not just intellectual. It’s real change. There’s a sense of clarity and lightness. I feel like I’m becoming free.

“I feel so full, aware, and light.”
The stillness continues to deepen. There’s so much silence, yet I feel so full, aware, and light.

Political thriller film based on true events
One life. One vision. One film.
When forgiveness collides with vengeance — a true story of how love transforms the fate of a nation.
Inspired by true events, White tells the story of three lives torn apart by Colombia’s decades-long conflict – and the unexpected power of forgiveness to heal what violence has broken. Through Gurudev’s encounters with FARC leaders and victims’ families, the film reveals how courage, compassion, and living spirituality helped open the path toward peace.
