"I Have Family Everywhere", Little Ravi Said, “People Are Waiting for Me” is a heart-warming children’s biography that gently introduces young readers to the childhood of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, one of the world’s most loved spiritual and humanitarian leaders.

Inspired by the spirit of Pratiksha (प्रतीक्षा) — the sacred readiness of the heart — this book invites children into a journey of peace, purpose, and service for young and growing minds.

Told in the loving, reassuring voice of Gizmo Grandma, the story follows Little Ravi of Papanasam — a quiet, observant child whose silence held wisdom, whose compassion soothed hearts, and whose simple words hinted at a life of service long before the world knew His name.

Through tender, true stories inspired by real events, along with Jay’s Wonder Questions, reflection cards, and readiness activities, children learn that peace begins within, purpose grows through awareness, service starts with small loving acts, leadership can be gentle, and silence can be powerful.

Each chapter invites children to pause, reflect, and cultivate Pratiksha — the inner readiness to live with kindness, courage, and responsibility.

This book is not about becoming famous or powerful. It is about becoming aware, compassionate, and ready.

Perfect for children aged 5 to 15, parents and grandparents reading together, schools and value-based learning environments, and homes nurturing mindfulness, empathy, and service.

Recognized by the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records, and part of the Likhega India 2025 Mission, this lovingly crafted book reminds every child:

You don’t have to grow up to make a difference.
Your heart can be ready today.
