Weekly Knowledge Sheets
Discover how a simple weekly custom of sharing brief petals of wisdom transformed into an intimate study guide for seekers worldwide.
How They Came About
Starting in the summer of 1995, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar began writing a weekly knowledge sheet—a short, profound teaching sheet—often referred to as a "petal" of wisdom. Each week, a new sheet was sent to meditation centers, ashrams, and teachers around the globe to serve as focal points for weekly gatherings, discussion, and meditation.
For seven years, week after week, these sheets addressed every aspect of a seeker's life—covering topics like love, fear, doubt, karma, service (Seva), and relationships. They were written during Gurudev's travels to different ashrams, cities, and countries, carrying the local energy and time context of where they were delivered.
An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker
