As a computer engineer, I was skeptical when my wife introduced me to Acharya Shunya’s teachings in 2010. But it quickly became clear—this wisdom was unlike anything I’d encountered.
Her ability to bridge ancient Vedic truth with modern life brought clarity to both my personal and professional world. I now call her my teacher too. The teachings are deep, practical, and worth every effort to integrate.
Ozlem Tokman,

Arriving in Acharya Shunya’s global classroom felt like reaching a long-awaited destination after lifetimes of searching. Her teachings lifted years of struggle and lit up the dark corners of my life.
Through her guidance, I’ve learned to turn on my inner light—even in the hardest moments. It’s been a life-changing journey, and I’m forever grateful to learn from such an authentic and compassionate teacher.
With each teaching, I feel more rooted, more free, more me.
'Atmajyoti' Medgar Marcus
Artist, Art Therapy, Florida
Studying with Acharya Shunya is hard to put into words. Through her teachings and lineage, I began to experience the same radiance I saw in her students—and something deep within me began to stir.
Acharya Shunya's wisdom lives in my day-to-day life and in what I now share with others. The biggest lesson? That I am not my circumstances. I simply am. And that knowing has changed everything.This path feels like a sacred return to who I’ve always been.

Awaken. Don’t Stay Hypnotized.
In the Vedic tradition, a sincere seeker is known as a Sadasya — not a religious label, but a conscious choice.
A Sadasya is someone who chooses to awaken rather than stay lulled by illusion — someone who is ready to remember who they truly are.
Becoming a member of the Vedic Study Circle isn’t about signing up.
It’s about showing up — for your Self, for truth, for a path that lives and breathes. This is not a program. It’s a return
Many faces. One flame.
Lit by the same longing, returning to the Self.

Sadasya: A Sacred Choice
A Sadasya is not a religious title.
It simply means: one who chooses to belong — to a sacred learning family.
As a Sadasya of the Vedic Study Circle, you are not just joining a community.
You are entering a living stream of wisdom, guided by Acharya Shunya and rooted in the 2,000-year-old Sarayu Parampara — the ancient Guru–Shishya tradition, alive today.
This path is walked with intention and grace — toward inner awakening, dharma, and Self-remembrance.
Not alone, but together.
What You will Receive as a Sadasya:
-
Access to our private Member Portal with links to its 10 Plus programs.
-
Live teachings plus access to archived recordings of exclusive content..
-
Direct teachings from Acharya Shunya several times a month.
-
Guidance from lineage trained Sadvis and Sadhyas (experts).
-
Contemplative resources, mantra chanting and guided meditations
-
A global network of sincere seekers meeting in global pod's and connecting through private community forum.
This is not a solo path.
This is Sangha — a living field of truth, where we rise together, fall together, and remember the Self together.
In this circle, you're not just signing up.
You're stepping into a sacred field of relationship — where wisdom ripens, hearts awaken, and the Self is remembered… together.
In Sangha, We Rise Together
Not just seekers — companions on the path
A Community That Reflects You Back to Yourself. Through satsang and shared study, blind spots dissolve and truth lands deeper.

Rooted Guidance, Not Social Media Advice
Support comes from lineage-trained S ādhvīs, Sādhyas, and long-term seekers — not algorithms.
We Stay With the Fire
While others move on to the next thing, we stay. We study. We live the teachings. Together.
Belonging that transforms.
Not community as a trend — but as a mirror, a refuge, a practice. You’re not just welcome. You’re needed.
You Don’t Have to Walk Alone
Real spiritual growth happens in relationship — with teachers, with peers, with sacred accountability.

Teachers Who Walk the Path.
Rooted in wisdom.
Living the teachings.
