Jai Maa Kula community,

It is with great joy and gratitude that we reach out to all of you today. As Acharya Shunya shared in her email “From the Acharya’s desk”,which was sent a few weeks ago, she has recently launched an auspicious publishing press within our organization lovingly called “Vedika Global Press” with the tagline of “Transmitting Eternal Wisdom.” 

We have been gifted the role of seva organizers of this endeavor. We are grateful for this opportunity to work closely with the teachings of our teacher, to be involved in the dissemination of her work, and to honor our esteemed lineage, the Sarayu Parampara. We are also looking forward to the opportunity to work with some of you as this venture evolves.  

This project reminds us of the importance of carrying forward the teachings from this tradition and our lineage in particular through publishing and through the seva of our Kula members. We are hoping that some of you will be drawn to join us in this process. Through our work at Vedika Global Press, we have had the blessing of exposure to Acharya Shunya’s unpublished work, which has already had a profound impact on both of us. This seva has reminded both of us of our individual responsibility to bring the tradition to the world and to future seekers. 

Will you help us carry the voice of our Acharya into the world?

Each word we edit deepens our connection to the Self and echoes the wisdom that transforms lives. This seva has become a sacred anchor in our own householder journeys—bringing clarity, stillness, and inner peace. If your heart feels called, we warmly invite you to join our Press Seva Team.

Vani Seva – Supporting the Voice of Wisdom

Acharya Shunya has named this seva Vani Seva. Vani means “voice” or “sacred speech.” In this team, we help support our teachers’ vani—through editing, formatting, proofreading, and organizing her written words—so her voice can reach more hearts with clarity.

This seva is a quiet but meaningful way to serve. Whether you love words, enjoy reviewing text, create and develop complementary artwork, or simply want to support the path in a supportive way, we welcome you. Every sentence we students collectively help shape carries the potential to inspire, guide, and awaken someone, somewhere.
