The Tiger's Pause examines a turbulent period in Sri Lankan history through the perspective of Swami Virupaksha, who spent nine years in the country supporting Art of Living initiatives and organizing Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s visits. The book focuses on attempts to promote a ceasefire and dialogue amid the conflict involving the LTTE and the Sri Lankan government.

Written in an empathetic style, it connects peace-building efforts with the broader search for reconciliation and healing.

Swami Virupaksha, born Vidyut Udiaver, is an advanced meditation teacher associated with the Art of Living global movement. He spent nine years in Sri Lanka as part of Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar’s conflict-resolution efforts and has worked on humanitarian initiatives serving diverse communities. He has also trained lawmakers, heads of state, clergy, students, refugees and other groups. He holds degrees in economics and business management and has professional experience in marketing and advertising.
As Sri Lanka entered the later stages of its long civil war, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar travelled to the country with the aim of encouraging peace and facilitating dialogue. The book chronicles these efforts, including attempts to mediate between LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran and the Sri Lankan government.
Swami Virupaksha combines his experiences in Sri Lanka with an account of the country's search for a ceasefire and peace. The narrative places the peace initiatives within the wider human story of a nation affected by prolonged violence, highlighting hope, suffering, reconciliation and the challenge of addressing shared trauma.
