I am not here to recreate yoga. I am here to remember it — fully, fiercely, and reverently.

Acharya Shunya is a globally respected teacher of Advaita Vedanta and the living wisdom of the Vedas. As the head of the Sarayu Parampara — a living lineage of Vedic wisdom passed directly from teacher to student for millennia — she revives the original wholeness of yoga as revealed in the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Vedas. Not as philosophy alone, but as a lived path to Self-realization. Through the integrated lens of the Four Yogas — Bhakti, Karma, Upāsanā, and Jñāna — she guides seekers beyond asana and intellectual inquiry into the radiant heart of liberation (moksha).
A modern Vedic mystic who moves between sacred solitude and global transmissions, Acharya Shunya shares timeless truths with clarity, depth, and unapologetic authenticity. Whether illuminating the Bhagavad Gita, reviving Upanishadic wisdom, or restoring Ayurveda and Yoga’s original soul, she bridges eternal Vedic tradition with the needs of modern seekers — offering not just knowledge, but transformation
In Acharya's own words:
"I teach the Four Yogas — Bhakti, Karma, Upāsanā, and Jñāna —
as revealed in the Bhagavad Gītā, Upanishads, and Vedas —
not for study’s sake, but to lead you to the realization of the Self
Yoga is not merely posture. It is the integration of Bhakti (devotion), Karma (selfless action), Upāsanā (ritual & inner worship), and Jñāna (wisdom and knowledge of Self) — pathways that lead the seeker from ego to essence, from fragmentation to wholeness. This is the yoga of the ancient rishis, interpreted through a nondual lens, where every action, offering, and insight becomes a gateway to the Self.
I invite all sincere seekers to return to this organic, undivided path of Yoga — not as performance, but as awakening."

Her ancestors include luminaries like her great-grandfather Acharya Shanti Prakash, compiler of the Adi Bhagavad Gita; her grandfather and guru, Acharya Baba Ayodhya Nath, a karmayogi in perfection; and her father, Padmashri Daya Prakash Sinha — cultural visionary and dharma protector.
In an age of spiritual dilution, Acharya Shunya stands firm. Her lineage is not a relic — it’s a living force, empowering modern seekers to reclaim yoga as a path to Self, not spectacle.

"The Guru-Shishya relationship is the sacred connection that transmits ancient wisdom into the heart of the seeker. Through the guidance of the Guru, the student uncovers the eternal truths within, awakening to a deeper understanding of themselves
and the universe."
