Who is Acharya Shunya?
Namaste, I’m Acharya Shunya, an author, speaker, and proud lineage holder of ancient Vedic wisdom, originally from India. My name "Shunya" means infinity, and "Acharya" is a customary title given to teachers of traditional knowledge. I reside in the San Francisco Bay Area, continuing the sacred path of the Vedas, Upanishads, and Bhagavad Gita that has been cherished by my family for generations. As a passionate advocate for personal growth and spiritual awakening, I am dedicated to helping individuals worldwide recognize their true potential and achieve self-realization. My readers and students span the globe, all united in the pursuit of transformation and inner peace. I invite you to join me on a transformative journey from darkness to light, from emotional bondage to spiritual freedom, from despair to joy.
My Inspiration
Rooted in ancient wisdom passed down by my yogi ancestors, my grandfather, Baba Ayodhya Nath, and my great grandfather Acharya Paramatman Shanti Prakash, I am dedicated to sharing the timeless teachings of Advaita Vedanta, yoga philosophy and its classic pathways to liberation, Vedic meditation, and spiritually rooted Ayurveda. I blend tradition with a modern approach to help you on your journey to well-being and self-discovery. Let's embark on this transformative path together.
The Mother Goddess and Me
I am devoted to the Divine Feminine and the boundless presence known as Ishvara. My teachings channel this divine connection, offering blessings to inspire and guide your path to enlightenment.
​
Growing up in a family that has honored the Divine Feminine for over 2000 years in India, I began my journey into Vedic learning at the age of 9. My grandfather, a revered sage and yogi, introduced me to ancient wisdom, goddess darshan, scriptures, mantras, and mystical practices.
​
Through deep meditation and contemplation of goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, I discovered powerful inner strengths. In my retreats, workshops, and goddess immersions, along with my book "Roar Like A Goddess," I share these blessings, empowering seekers to connect with their inner divine strength.
Embark on a Spiritual Journey: Discover the True Path of Yoga
Yoga transcends the physical; it's a spiritual journey to discover the higher Self, one with the universal Self, Ishvara. This involves exploring Vedic texts like the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads, and reviving the knowledge of Ishvara, the Supreme Consciousness, aiding our Self-Realization.
​
Through the four classical yoga pathways—Bhakti, Karma, Upasana (including Raja), and Jnana—I guide seekers to this profound realization.
