Guided meditations led by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, sorted by length and by theme, so you can pick a session that fits the minutes you have — a calm way to end the day before sleep. Run by the Breath Wisdom Grace team.
Meditations By Gurudev brings guided meditations led by Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar into a Telegram chat. According to its description, the recordings are organised two ways: by duration, for when you only have a few minutes before work or bed, and by theme, for when you already know what you want from the session. The bot presents itself as an initiative of the Breath Wisdom Grace (BWG) team and shares its name with the Meditations By Gurudev channel on YouTube.
In this subtopic it is the choice for guided practice rather than background sound: a voice leads you through the meditation, which many people find easier than sitting in silence, and a short session suits the last minutes of the evening.
It is worth knowing what the bot does not do. It is not a sleep app: no tracker, reminders, streaks or statistics are described. The interface is in English. We found no price or premium tier in its description, there is no public figure for how many people use it, and the bot does not claim to be run by the Art of Living organisation itself.
Free No price, paid plan or limits are mentioned in the bot’s description

Gurudev is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the spiritual teacher who founded the Art of Living. The bot collects meditations he guides and is run by the Breath Wisdom Grace team; it does not present itself as an Art of Living service.
It is not built as a sleep app, and no sleep tracker or timer is described. Because sessions are sorted by length, you can pick a short guided meditation for the last minutes before bed.
