Sahil Sachdeva, CEO of Level Up PR, recently shared an exchange that resonated online. At the Creators Retreat, he spoke openly to Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, asking a heartfelt question about spirituality and modern work life.
Sahil lives by strong personal ethics, treating his work almost like a form of devotion. He doesn’t follow traditional daily rituals like temple visits or mantra chanting, despite gentle nudges from his parents. So he asked, “Am I missing out on something essential in life by skipping these practices?”
Gurudev’s answer was warm, balanced, and surprisingly science-backed. He started by asking Sahil if he personally felt anything lacking, then highlighted the real benefits of simple habits like daily mantra chanting. “It boosts grey matter in the brain,” Gurudev explained, sharing a cool story about brain scans from a US scientist’s presentation. One person chanted a basic word like “ONE”, another “Om Namah Shivaay,” and the scans showed clear differences, with chanting visibly increasing brain density and raising one’s inner energy.
No need for strict temple routines; Gurudev reassured us that occasional ones are like festive lights that add joy without becoming obligatory. The real game-changer? Meditation and consistent chanting for inner calm and clarity. “Don’t fight rituals, but don’t get obsessed either. The core is meditation.”
The short Instagram Reel from Sahil’s account (@TheSahilSachdeva) captures this gem perfectly and has gone mega-viral, racking up shares, likes, and heartfelt comments from entrepreneurs, seekers, and everyday folks. People are loving how it bridges hustle culture with timeless wisdom: “Work as worship is great, but a bit of mantra magic levels it up!” one viewer said.
For Sahil, whose brand helps others rise through authentic narratives, this chat was a reminder that real success blends outer ambition with inner peace. As the clip keeps trending, it’s a fresh nudge from Gurudev’s Art of Living teachings, proving spirituality can fit right into a busy, modern life.
