In this paper I propose to analyse the apparent contradiction between the universalist ambition of The Art of Living Foundation and its nationalist orientations, as shown by the political stands of its founder and leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. First, I look at the genesis of the movement in order to understand both its reformist dimension within the Indian sub-continent and its universalist project. Then I will focus on the salient features of the transnational community, as well as its setting up around the figure of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Lastly, through an analysis of the guru political stands on the Indian scene and its reception by the transnational community, I stress the differences we can trace between European and Indian devotees in their own perception of the guru and his movement's aims.

The Art of Living (TAOL) est un nouveau mouvement religieux dont la popularité ne cesse de croître dans l'ensemble du sous-continent indien et au-delà. Fondé et mené par Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, le mouvement promeut une spiritualité accessible à tous, basée sur des pratiques yogiques simplifiées et un enseignement philosophique d'inspiration néo-védântique. Le guru entend ainsi réunir une communauté transnationale autour d'une spiritualité à vocation universelle, transcendant les appartenances culturelles et religieuses individuelles. Afin de comprendre les ressorts du succès international que rencontre actuellement TAOL, l'auteur revient sur la genèse du mouvement et s'intéresse aux stratégies de diffusion qui président à son développement communautaire tant dans son contexte de naissance indien qu'à l'échelle planétaire.
