The Power of Synergistic All-Round Integration
Rinsing my plate, I smirked at the Sri Sri Ujjiyara dishwash liquid.
“Sri Sri Ravishankar ji is a genius entrepreneur first, spiritual guru next.” I mused.

Sri Sri Tattva tuck shops. Stalls selling Ojasvita shakes. Swanky Byogi mannequins. Sumeru’s vacation packages. Glistening Shankara jewellery.
AOL epitomized all-around integration — from humble roach repellants to lofty meditation chambers.
✡ Intriguing Fact: AOL’s integration isn’t “commercial”. the proceeds go into running 1200+ free schools, rejuvenating rivers, serving millions of free meals, and more.
Catering to visitors’ 360° needs → Higher revenue → More social impact.
A win-win-win.
