At the ‘Sant Sarita’ session held at the IIMT Ladder Business Foundation, Acharya Prashant advised athletes to look beyond worrying about results and focus on their game and effort. Jay Meena of Dewas made history on 23 September by winning the bronze medal in men’s singles soft tennis at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.

A ‘Weekend with Master’ session with the philosopher and author of the AP Framework, Acharya Prashant, was held on Saturday in Knowledge Park. Jay Meena, who won the bronze medal for the country in the soft tennis event at the Asian Games held in Japan, attended the session with his coach Sudesh Sangte.

"Acharya Prashant has shared a message for the youth protesting the NEET paper leak. The demand for action, he said, has been raised so loud that the protester himself is never examined. He said that he has no problem with the street, only with the blindness on it. The movement is not wrong, but its sequence has been inverted. He clarified that he was not asking for the protest to be stopped, but proposing a fitness test."

"Unlike most contemporary spiritual works, which are often collections of talks or conversations, the AP Framework is a deliberately organised, book-length work. It covers seven major areas of philosophy and includes an extensive glossary of specialised terms. It has also been published as a physical volume, The AP Framework. The framework also has a practical digital expression in AP Mirror, an LLM-based application designed to bring its method of self-inquiry into personal situations."

"The flood that tore through Nepal’s Rasuwa district did not begin in the mountains, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has said. It began, in his account, in the restless human desire that treats the earth as fuel for itself. Asked why climate change was conspicuously missing from the news coverage of this tragedy, he said the word was kept out because naming it would implicate everyone who lives an ordinary consuming life. “Every emitter is responsible for these deaths,” he said."

"Yoga is not relief, but revolution. It begins where your excuses end. You cannot be in yoga and continue to live as you were"

"Philosophy sessions in engineering campuses are not new. What is new is a 1500 seater auditorium overflowing thirty minutes before start time, students sitting on staircases, and interactions stretching to seven hours because nobody wants to leave."

Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant, speaking at length on the NEET paper leak, the student suicides and the protests that have followed, has said the crisis is not merely an administrative lapse but "a sign of a far deeper crisis in our education system and our society."

Speaking in Goa, the philosopher urged dialogue over confrontation, appealed to Sonam Wangchuk to end his fast, and called for reforms that address both the system and society's values

"Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has returned to India after completing the second and busiest leg of his Britain tour. His tour began with an invitation from Cambridge University, then Oxford University, and then extended in a chain reaction to nearly all of London’s leading institutions."

"Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant and Rupert Spira, a popular teacher of non-duality in the West, held a public dialogue in London on Tuesday on suffering, the self, and the meaning of non-duality. The moderated conversation brought together two speakers who have approached the same question from opposite ends: what a person actually is beneath the story they have been told about themselves."

Philosopher Acharya Prashant and Professor Jonathan Birch held a public dialogue on animal consciousness and the environment at the London School of Economics on Friday evening. A packed Hong Kong Theatre broke into sustained applause as the session got underway. Titled "Animal Consciousness and the Environment: Insights from Science and Vedanta," the dialogue drew students, researchers, faculty and members of the public.

"The Acharya Prashant app is now at 5 million downloads on Google Play with a 5.0-star rating on nearly 40,000 reviews, in a category that is mostly about guided breathing and motivational audio. The app, built by the PrashantAdvait Foundation, is built instead around unscripted philosophical inquiry, and the milestone comes at the same time as another anniversary: it is exactly two years since the Foundation held the largest online examination ever on the Bhagavad Gita on June 24, 2024, which the India Book of Records recognised. "

Nearly 145 years after Max Muller carried the Isha Upanishad to Oxford as a scholarly object, Acharya Prashant returned it to the same university as a living teaching — arguing, in the very building where economics and policy are taught, that no external solution can resolve humanity's crises without first examining the consuming ego that drives them.

In 1879, Professor Max Muller carried the Ishavasya Upanishad to the West, publishing its first English translation through Oxford University Press as the opening volume of the 'Sacred Books of the East'. Nearly a century and a half later, an Indian philosopher has arrived at the same university to return the text to its living meaning.

On June 8, at the lecture theatre in Oxford University's Manor Road Building, Acharya Prashant delivered a detailed philosophical session on the second verse of the Isha Upanishad. The session drew a varied audience, including Oxford students and research scholars from the UK, Europe and the United States. Its central question was, "Who is the actor?"

Acharya Prashant Speaks at the Historic Cambridge Union, Emphasizing Inner Life as the Key to Resolving Humanity's Gravest Challenges

Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant addressed a packed audience at the University of Cambridge on Friday in a fireside chat at the historic Cambridge Union, arguing that humanity's gravest crises, climate change foremost among them, cannot be resolved by technology or policy alone because their root lies not in the external world but in the unexamined inner life of human beings. The audience response was overwhelming; seats were fully booked even before the day arrived.

Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant addressed a packed audience at the University of Cambridge on Friday in a fireside chat at the historic Cambridge Union, arguing that humanity's gravest crises, climate change foremost among them, cannot be resolved by technology or policy alone because their root lies not in the external world but in the unexamined inner life of human beings.

At the Cambridge Union — a stage shared by Churchill and Hawking — Acharya Prashant made the case that climate change is not a carbon problem but a human psychology problem. His challenge to the room: humanity has tried science, growth, and technology, but never 'mass education of the self.' That, he argued, is the one variable every global summit has left off the agenda.

Among an exceptional roster of distinguished speakers drawn from politics, diplomacy, and industry, Acharya Prashant was the sole philosopher on the programme and was accorded the longest speaking slot of the day, a distinction that underscored the organisers’ intent to place questions of inner life at the centre of a gathering otherwise defined by external power.

The audience response was overwhelming; seats were fully booked even before the day arrived.

The article features Truth Without Apology by Acharya Prashant as part of a summer 2026 reading list. The book is described as a collection of penetrating reflections on identity, ego, desire, and relationships, aimed at challenging readers to examine their deepest beliefs. It positions itself as a bold, uncompromising work for those willing to confront hard truths rather than seek comfort or reassurance.

Acharya Prashant will speak at the Cambridge Union on 30 May 2026 during the Cambridge India Business Dialogue, discussing Indian contemplative traditions and their relevance to climate change, inequality, and global responsibility.

"Acharya Prashant entered the 2026 Watkins list at Rank 20, among top new entrants, as the data-led ranking tracking global digital visibility places his organic, Hindi philosophical content alongside media-heavy figures like Deepak Chopra and Joe Rogan."

"Acharya Prashant captivated AIIMS Rishikesh, dissecting human restlessness, gender identity, and the ego through Ishavasya Upanishad. He challenged doctors to question borrowed purposes and find true liberation beyond societal constructs, offering a profound philosophical inquiry into consciousness."

What does the rise of AI reveal about the people using it? Philosopher-author Acharya Prashant has been asking this question consistently, across packed public sessions including at IITs, IISc, BITS, UC Berkeley and others. His most concise formulation: the threat is not artificial intelligence, but artificial living.

In an age of algorithms, hustle culture and constant comparison, the Bhagwad Gita offers Gen Z clarity, emotional resilience and purposeful action. Its timeless message of focusing on right action over obsessive results provides a practical framework for navigating anxiety, ambition and identity.

"On April 14, Acharya Prashant received a death threat. It arrived through a YouTube account, explicitly worded, in direct response to a video in which he had spoken in honour of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on Ambedkar Jayanti. Within a day of the news spreading, two hashtags, #WeStandWithAP and #EnsureSafetyforAP, climbed to the top two positions on X's India trending list, displacing sports and entertainment."

"India’s parliament debated, procedurally maneuvered, and ultimately failed to pass a constitution amendment bill on women’s parliamentary reservation last week. For philosopher and author Acharya Prashant, the defeat is beside the point."

Acharya Prashant questions women’s reservation in Parliament, arguing real empowerment lies in education, economic independence, and social change beyond symbolic political representation.

"Acharya Prashant is a spiritual leader and author who is known for his fearless stance on religion and society."

"New Delhi- Indian philosopher and spiritual teacher Acharya Prashant has received a new death threat after making positive comments honouring Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The incident has caused worry among his followers, and his organisation has started legal proceedings against those involved."

Renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has received a fresh death threat following his recent remarks in honour of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar, triggering concern among his supporters and prompting his foundation to initiate legal action.

The second day of the Doon Book Festival 2026 witnessed the grand inauguration of the 'Doon Lit Fest,' featuring a series of discussions on various dimensions of literature and society.

Jain, Chairman of National Book Trust, India, Professor Milind Sudhakar Marathe and Shri Aman Bansal, Vice President of Dev Bhoomi University.

"Each of the four venues drew a distinct audience: engineering students at NIT, medical professionals at AIIMS, a cross-section of the general public at the civic auditorium, and bookstore visitors at PVR. Across all four, the format involved no prepared address and no pre-screened questions. The Raipur visit was his first in Chhattisgarh. His national tour continues with planned sessions in Delhi-NCR and Nagpur."

The IIT Delhi Alumni Association (IITDAA) successfully hosted the IITD Alumni Leadership Conclave 2026 on Saturday, 21 March 2026, at Hyatt Regency, New Delhi.

"The 60 million milestone was not produced by virality. It is the accumulated weight of thousands of sessions, each one unscripted, each one placing the philosophy under live examination by audiences ranging from doctoral researchers to first-generation college students."

A powerful dialogue with Acharya Prashant at IIT Delhi Alumni Leadership Conclave 2026. Rethinking technology, ambition, and the mind behind progress.

Tiwari said the campaign was inspired by a recent post by Acharya Prashant, Indian philosopher, spiritual teacher, and a celebrated alumni of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad. Acharya Prashant’s commentary highlighted how male preference can create a dangerous imbalance in society, reinforcing patriarchy and sexism across generations and how this problem has now migrated with the diaspora even to the UK.

"What unfolded between August 2025 and February 2026 was not a typical speaking tour. It was an extended national engagement that traversed the country's most demanding intellectual institutions and most visible public platforms. Acharya Prashant spoke at 13 IITs, several IIMs and IISc. The pattern was unmistakable. The institutions most committed to rational enquiry were not resistant to philosophical dialogue. They were actively inviting it."

"One rarely asks the deeper question: if Holika is burned every year, why is she not finished? If she burned once, why does she return, reliably, year after year, as though the fire had touched only the wood and never reached the principle she represents? The answer is hidden in the story we think we know but may never have truly read."

"Netravalkar represented India at the 2010 Under-19 World Cup and later played domestic cricket for Mumbai. He is also an alumnus of Cornell University, an Ivy League institution. He has been a student of the Gita Mission for the past two years, a systematic course of live scripture study taught by Acharya Prashant on the Acharya Prashant app."

"A Google Trends comparison for YouTube Search worldwide, tracked from 2008 to the present, reveals a striking pattern. Search interest in the Bhagavad Gita has remained strong over the years. But since 2020, the curve has pushed noticeably above its historical baseline into a more sustained upward range. During the same period, YouTube searches for "Acharya Prashant" have risen steadily to their highest recorded levels."

“When Prashant Advait Foundation removed all fees from its Bhagavad Gita programme at the start of the New Year for over one million people, the decision carried an explicit risk. In the weeks since, the scope of free access has been expanded, taking the total reach to over 1.2 million people, including an additional 200,000 beyond the original New Year offer.”

On the occasion of Mahashivratri, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant presented a special theatrical performance that masterfully blended profound knowledge, artistic expression, and deep spirituality.

"On the eve of Mahashivratri, the grand auditorium of Gautam Buddha University was packed to capacity. Hundreds of people sat on the floor when chairs ran out. Thousands who had arrived from across India and abroad witnessed a new side of Acharya Prashant — that of an accomplished actor."

“On the occasion of Mahashivratri, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant presented a special theatrical performance that masterfully blended profound knowledge, artistic expression, and deep spirituality.”

"Acharya Prashant has been ranked as the World’s No. 1 Philosopher in Nubia Magazine's list of the ‘Top 10 Best and Famous Philosophers in the World 2026’, above many known global academic faces."

"Right after the formal speeches, the festival made space for its first major highlight of the night: Acharya Prashant engaging audiences in a deeply charged conversation about “Truth Without Apology”, setting expectations high for the sessions to come. The first day concluded with a special session by Acharya Prashant. A large number of people attended the session and listened to him attentively."

The festival will host a star-studded lineup of speakers such as Sachin Pilgaonkar, Mrunal Kulkarni, and Acharya Prashant. With free entry, special exhibitions honouring Mario Miranda, and workshops for children, the event aims to foster a vibrant reading culture across the state. The festival will conclude on Sunday.

These sessions are planned around themes of culture, creativity, and contemporary thought."

“On the occasion of India's 77th Republic Day, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant said that our nationalism is neither Jinnah's nor Hitler's nor that of the Balkans. That kind of nationalism is violent. But our nationalism does not demand enemies. The nationalism enshrined in our Constitution is beneficial for the entire world."

"On the occasion of India's 77th Republic Day, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant said that the idea of a Republic cannot be reduced to a Constitutional structure alone and that the strength of the nation ultimately depends on the inner awakening of its citizens."

"One of the highlights of the summit was an interactive session with Acharya Prashant, which organisers said added a philosophical dimension to the discussions and encouraged participants to reflect more deeply on purpose, ambition and responsibility."

On January 16, Acharya Prashant’s first Patna dialogue at the historic Bapu Auditorium near Gandhi Maidan proved unforgettable.

From Bapu Sabhagar to IIT Patna, thousands braved the biting cold to immerse themselves in wisdom and philosophy, signaling a monumental shift in India's intellectual landscape. Leading media houses across the country covered this unprecedented surge and ideological revolution."

Former CJI DY Chandrachud, spiritual thinker Acharya Prashant, journalist-author Rahul Pandita, cultural commentator Shalini Passi and novelist Rahul Bhattacharya will be among the speakers at the 14th edition of the Delhi Literature Festival (DLF), beginning February 6.

"Bhubaneswar witnessed a profound awakening as eminent philosopher and author Acharya Prashant addressed a packed house of medical students from IMS-SOA and NIFT Bhubaneswar. This session was jointly organised by both institutes."

"PrashantAdvait Foundation has announced free Gita session enrollments for one million people to mark the New Year, transforming what was already one of the world’s most affordable structured programmes for wisdom literature into an entirely free offering for anyone willing to engage. The initiative extends access to everyone who has been associated with the Foundation over the past decade. Going forward, anyone can join simply by downloading the Acharya Prashant app. There is no paywall, no premium tier, no catch."

Acharya Prashant challenges both traditional and modern narratives of women’s empowerment, arguing through Advaita Vedanta that true freedom lies beyond body and gender identity. His work critiques cultural conditioning, feminism centred on men, and calls self-knowledge the foundation of real empowerment.

"As Acharya Prashant's car prepared to depart after his session, people lined both sides of the road for over a kilometre. Children, students, couples, elderly citizens, all waiting to greet him, holding out books for signing, requesting photographs, or simply wanting to express gratitude."

"Philosophy sessions in engineering campuses are not new. What is new is a 1500 seater auditorium overflowing thirty minutes before start time, students sitting on staircases, and interactions stretching to seven hours because nobody wants to leave."

"At the heart of PAF's work sits the Gita Mission, arguably the world's largest structured programme for the study of wisdom literature"

The philosophy-based title continues its strong momentum with #1 rankings across multiple categories, marking a rare crossover success in reflective non-fiction.

Life appears full of conflicting possibilities because the mind itself is full of conflicting tendencies. We do not really know what we stand for, or from where our wants arise.

"Acharya Prashant advocates for caste equality by drawing from Vedantic philosophy and engaging deeply with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's legacy, promoting dignity for all."

India’s Top YouTube Creators In 2025: In 2025, content creation on YouTube has grown rapidly, with creators in comedy, gaming, spirituality, and DIY content attracting millions of viewers. From family vlogs to gaming videos, these top creators have large followings and influence across the country. Their videos entertain people of all ages. Here is a look at who has the most subscribers on YouTube

"DR. ANJOR BHASKAR: Thank you to all of you for being here this late evening, spending your time with us. Doctor Ambedkar, the chief architect of our constitution, has famously said that democracy in India "

"What places him at the top is the consistency with which he turns attention inward: toward the structures of fear, desire, conditioning, and confusion that shape human action. Whether discussing climate collapse, youth direction, superstition, or women’s empowerment, he stresses that most external crises have roots in the mind. Initiatives like Operation 2030, his recent national bestseller book Truth Without Apology, and his extensive university dialogues reflect a philosophical approach grounded in ancient clarity yet unmistakably contemporary in relevance."

"IIT Kharagpur witnessed a sight rarely seen in its storied history. By 5:30 PM, half an hour before the scheduled start of philosopher and national bestselling author Acharya Prashant’s session."

Most self-help starts with a wrong idea: that the 'I' we live with is real, permanent, and worth defending.

"In a sense, Flipkart’s listing represents the most democratic phase of the book’s journey so far. Nielsen measured retail sales; Crossword reflected bookstore visibility; but Flipkart captures the pulse of the everyday reader: across metros, towns, and tier-2 cities where Flipkart’s network runs deepest. For a work that asks readers to examine their lives with unsparing honesty, the fact that it is finding resonance in these wide circles tells its own story."

"PrashantAdvait Foundation, in collaboration with Crossword Bookstores, held a series of book signing events across several locations in Hyderabad"

"After a strong online debut and a Nielsen #1 in its second week, Acharya Prashant’s Truth Without Apology is now making its presence felt in stores as well, featuring in Crossword’s nationwide Top 30 non-fiction list."

"The trajectory of Truth Without Apology has been striking. Released in early September, it entered Amazon’s overall Top 3 on day one and quickly secured the #1 slot in categories such as philosophy, metaphysics, and personal transformation, holding those positions for much of its first month. The Nielsen ranking now confirms that momentum beyond the online marketplace, placing the book firmly in the national spotlight."

"Most spiritual organizations expand by acquiring land, building centers, and drawing people in. The PrashantAdvait Foundation has taken a very different route."

"Over the past week Hyderabad has hosted a different kind of conversation. Not policy, not film releases, but clarity, self-awareness, and the role of self-education in a noisy age. "

"The event commenced with a warm welcome from Principal Dr. Reddy, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to Acharya Prashant for taking time out of his academic outreach to engage with the university’s vibrant student community."

“At a time when lighter reads dominate the market, Truth Without Apology shows that readers are seeking substance, clarity, and ideas that challenge rather than console. Readers have called it 'literally life-changing,' 'piercing,' and 'a book that forces you to pause and reflect."

"Truth Without Apology is a book that refuses to sugarcoat. It moves across the central questions of existence like fear and desire, love and dependence, freedom and action, suffering and self-deception,"

"Truth Without Apology by Acharya Prashant delivers unfiltered clarity in a world filled with illusions. The book challenges readers to confront life without pretenses and embark on a journey of courage."

"Truth Without Apology is a book that refuses to sugarcoat. It moves across the central questions of existence like fear and desire, love and dependence, freedom and action, suffering and self-deception, without softening the edges."

"New Delhi, Sep 7: As relentless rains batter North India, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has called the devastation “a mirror to our misplaced idea of progress”."

"Teachers' Day should not just be about flowers on a desk. It should be about freeing the next generation from ignorance and fear. If that does not happen, then every day becomes a funeral of education. We may produce engineers, doctors, and executives, but without wisdom, they only build higher prisons for themselves."

"The Bhagavad Gita is more than philosophy; it is a call to act with clarity. Today, several teachers bring its wisdom online, each linking it in some way to social good. Yet the depth of that connection differs."

"ndia’s climate debate is no longer confined to reports and negotiations. It is being driven forward by people who have made the crisis impossible to ignore: through fasts in the mountains, petitions in court, street protests, and years of policy research."

"On India’s toughest campuses, where equations, experiments, and deadlines usually set the tone, another kind of voice has quietly taken root. It is the voice of Acharya Prashant."

"When Swami Vivekananda stood before the Chicago Parliament of Religions in 1893, he carried more than a speech. He carried India’s call to awaken from centuries of weakness and rediscover its essence."

"The timeless wisdom of Vedanta has now entered millions of Indian homes as Doordarshan begins broadcasting Acharya Prashant’s discourses on its flagship channel, DD National."

"Acharya Prashant’s account (@acharya_prashant_ap) now has more than 9.4 million followers, making him India’s most followed philosophical voice on the platform."

"Scroll through Facebook in India today and you’ll notice something striking: spirituality has carved out a very visible corner of the digital space. What once meant visiting an ashram or attending a discourse now often begins with a short video clip in your feed."

"The choice of multiplexes as venues became a story in itself. Spaces usually associated with films and entertainment turned, for a day, into quiet halls of reflection."

“If you truly love animals, your first fight must be against climate change — for forests, clean rivers, and the protection of habitats. A species can go extinct without being hunted; destroying its home is enough. We must think of the millions of species we may soon never see.”

"More than 1,000 species in India are critically endangered or vulnerable, and hundreds to thousands of species vanish globally each day due to human activity. If you truly love animals, your first fight must be against climate change – and for forests, clean rivers, and the protection of habitats."

"Across cultures and centuries, there is one thing that hasn’t changed much: when we talk about women, we almost always end up talking about their bodies. Whether in public statements on modesty, judgements on 'purity,' or expectations around chastity, it’s the same story in different clothes."

"NEW DELHI: (Aug 6) Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has expressed concerns about irregularities in the recent SSC exams, calling them “a symptom of cultural decay”."

"If years of effort are wasted, the student asks, is this nation fair? Will honesty help me, or cheap hacks and crookedness? His inner locus of control breaks. He starts believing that luck, contacts, and sycophancy matter more than sincerity.”

"Across many public and religious forums today, one can still hear outdated notions regarding women's roles and value."

"During the 2024 Lok Sabha campaign, both Congress and BJP posted a clip of Acharya Prashant's NDTV interview on their official X handles, which went viral. On same lines, Bihar Congress recently shared his video on its official X handle. It featured part of his speech on Mahatma Gandhi. This is one of several instances where his messages have found space in political conversations. While political parties and media outlets sometimes refer to his statements, Acharya Prashant maintains that he carries no partisan leanings."

"We live in an age where five-minute motivational videos, shallow quotes and breathing exercises are often sold as 'spiritual content' for huge costs. Meanwhile, PAF is offering hundreds of original books, video courses, and live events like the flagship Gita Samagam, for prices so low, they often seem unreal."

"Punjab is staring down a looming ecological disaster, as relentless paddy cultivation pushes the state closer to desertification, warns Acharya Prashant, founder of the PrashantAdvait Foundation."

"In spiritual circles, we often hear about personal growth, stress relief, and calming of thoughts. Rarely does anyone bring up our daily treatment of animals. But one spiritual teacher has made it a key part of his work"

"At a time when spirituality is often reduced to motivational fluff or rebranded as wellness advice, Acharya Prashant’s writing is something else entirely. Similar to the great masters of the past, like Swami Vivekananda, J. Krishnamurti and Nisargadatta Maharaj, his words are not tailored to comfort the reader but to shake them out of slumber. Yet, what sets him apart is the sheer volume and accessibility of his work. While most spiritual teachers left behind a handful of key books, Acharya Prashant is creating a legacy that spans hundreds of titles, each pointing, in its own way, to the same inner revolution."

"Acharya Prashant is one individual who speaks with a unique form of honesty in an era when spirituality is frequently muddled with flowery language or odd customs. He doesn't make things seem nice or urge you to believe everything he says. He asks you to think for yourself instead. According to him, spirituality should be about having a clear perspective rather than blindly adhering to traditions just because they are traditional or well-liked."

"Operation 2030 is not another petition or street march. It is a call to stop and look within. The idea is simple yet sharp: if we do not understand our own wants and fears, no rule or gadget will save the Earth. Acharya Prashant says that most of us live in a mental fog. We buy, travel, and compete without asking what we truly need. Out of that confusion, we harm soil, water, and air. Clear the fog, he says, and wiser choices follow on their own."

“Most movements talk of rights and recognition. But Acharya Prashant, rooted in Vedanta, questions the very idea of identity. He doesn’t say women should be equal to men — he says: ‘You are not the body at all.’ And if you are not the body, what is male or female? For many women, this message offers something deeper than social equality — it offers freedom from centuries of roles, expectations, and imposed worth. The real revolution, he insists, is not external but inward: a discovery of who you are, beyond all labels.”

"The campaign is bringing to attention the fact that the world has already crossed the 1.5°C temperature rise that earlier global agreements had marked as a red line. It points out that we’re now seeing averages that touch 1.75°C—and that this has serious consequences. According to the campaign, once the temperature crosses a certain point, there are feedback effects in nature—like melting ice or dried forests—which make the problem worse on their own, even if emissions stop."

“On June 5, 2025, at the World Environment Expo in Greater Noida, the PrashantAdvait Foundation was recognised as the Best Animal Welfare Organisation. The award acknowledged the Foundation’s work in protecting animals—efforts that include helping over 1 million animals and encouraging more than 50,000 families to move away from animal-based products.”

“Today, his reach, his impact can be summed up in one word: Phenomenal! As a bestselling author – he has authored over 160 books. The freely accessible library of over 10,000 of his teachings is a veritable treasure trove of wisdom. He has truly changed the face of spiritual wisdom – making it more convenient, more available.”

On International Yoga Day , Acharya Prashant challenged the mainstream view of yoga as just a wellness practice, highlighting instead its profound and transformative roots in the Bhagavad Gita.

On the occasion of International Day of Yoga, spiritual teacher and philosopher Acharya Prashant received widespread acclaim across the country for his transformative discourse titled "Yoga in the Light of the Bhagavad Gita."

"While addressing the audience at PVR-INOX in Goa on the topic 'Yoga in the Light of the Bhagavad Gita', he stated that yoga is not a means of relief, but a call to revolution. The event, jointly organised by the PrashantAdvait Foundation and PVR-INOX, was simultaneously broadcast in over 40 cinemas across India — from Mumbai and Gurgaon to Patna and Bhopal. His bold message: 'Yoga is not a set of postures. It is a state of poise. It’s not a technique, it is truth lived.' "

"Yoga is not relief, but revolution. It begins where your excuses end. You cannot be in yoga and continue to live as you were"

In a historic first, Acharya Prashant, renowned philosopher and bestselling author, addressed the nation on the theme ‘Yoga in the Light of the Bhagavad Gita’, delivering his message live from Goa to over 40 cinema halls across India.

"Operation 2030 is aimed towards developing a deep understanding of how the cycle of human restlessness, followed by endless consumption in the hope of mitigating that restlessness, has led to the current climatic catastrophe. The effort aims to create a generation of individuals who are not only informed, but also inwardly clear and courageous enough to lead meaningful change."

"PrashantAdvait Foundation is a leading spiritual organization whose mission is to aid in establishing clarity in human life by propagating the authentic teachings of Vedanta and other wisdom traditions of the world. The Foundation's digital and education-first approaches, combined with extensive outreach initiatives, continue the process of bridging timeless philosophies to the contemporary mind, helping to make age-old concepts easy to digest and relevant to today's real-life challenges."

"The India Book of Records noted that the event saw the highest number of participants in an online examination on the Bhagavad Gita. This achievement set a world record. The exam aimed to check the practical application of the Gita’s teachings in our daily life. The participants came from a variety of ages, backgrounds and different parts of the world. The exam lays less emphasis on checking academic rigor and instead seeks to instill practical applicability of scriptures in life and inspires deep reflection on spiritual texts, the organizers said."

The Tribune - "Good, if data used for effective policy making," Acharya Prashant calls for using caste census for affirmative action: Speaking with ANI, he said, "Like any action, it depends on intention here. Caste census simply means collecting more data, and data is neither forward nor backwards, nor good nor bad. It depends on what you intend to do with the data. If you want to identify the marginalised group in a better way so that more accurate and efficient policy making can happen, then it is a good step."

In a recent article by The Print, Acharya Prashant highlighted the importance of the caste census for effective policy-making during an interview following his 3-hour-long talk at Kirori Mal College, Delhi University. The event marked the 134th birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Acharya Prashant stated, "Data is valuable only when used to uplift the underprivileged, not to perpetuate divisions.

His insights emphasized the need for thoughtful and inclusive application of such initiatives.

Acharya Prashant, eminent philosopher and head of Prashant Advait Foundation, met Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai Patel at Raj Bhavan, Bhopal. During this meeting, he held a detailed discussion on the spread of Indian philosophy, especially Vedanta and Bhagavad Gita and its modern importance.

"The City of Lakes, Bhopal, recently became a beacon for spiritual enlightenment, thanks to the PrashantAdvait Foundation's innovative assemblies. These sessions, held at PVR INOX Aura Mall and the Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), transformed conventional venues into platforms for profound wisdom. The Foundation's initiative marks a significant shift in the way spiritual sessions are conducted, reaching out to a diverse audience across various settings."

A spiritual phenomenon unfolded in the City of Lakes as the PrashantAdvait Foundation illuminated Bhopal with two diverse assemblies — first at PVR INOX Aura Mall, and then at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT).

After an extremely successful first session in Bhopal, PVR INOX is now looking forward to hosting more PrashantAdvait Foundation events all over the country.

"Dr. Ambedkar is an enduring symbol of struggle, dignity, and the relentless pursuit of justice. His life was not merely a series of events that were linked with politics or social reform. It was an intellectual, social, and spiritual odyssey."

"The second session organized by PrashantAdvait Foundation addressed Dubai’s dynamic expatriate community. It inspired the audience to recognize the global impact of their everyday choices, reminding them of the huge role each individual plays in taking care of our planet."

"The atmosphere was electric as the discussion unfolded, covering a wide range of thought-provoking topics.

The PrashantAdvait Foundation is on a mission to revitalise India’s reading culture. And their plan to achieve this ambitious goal hedges on a brilliant initiative – a network of volunteer-operated bookstalls. This extensive network across the country gives them the unique distinction of being the organisation with the largest number of book distribution points across India.

"Acharya Ji sharply critiques attempts to centralize power under the pretext of fostering Hindu unity, emphasizing that these efforts often serve individual agendas rather than the true interests of religion. He warns that such centralization creates hierarchies that exploit devotees, turning them into tools for personal gain while steering them away from authentic spiritual inquiry and self-awareness. True spiritual welfare, he argues, lies in empowering individuals to seek truth and wisdom, not in imposing rigid systems that stifle personal freedom, growth and understanding. Due to his critique of distorted religious practices and superstition, Acharya Prashant faces intense backlash from right-wing Hindutva extremists."

"A fake poster falsely accusing Acharya Prashant of calling the Kumbh Mela "superstition" was planted in a calculated effort to tarnish his reputation. The investigation revealed that the claim was fabricated and had no connection to Acharya Ji or his foundation. Mohan Singh, a witness and former soldier, exposed a conspiracy involving fake posters, arson of sacred texts, and attacks on innocent volunteers distributing scriptures like the Gita and Upanishads. This incident is a grave assault on Sanatan Dharma. Acharya Prashant’s work tirelessly upholds Vedantic principles, reviving authentic teachings and exposing dogma clouding the Hindu faith."

"In a recent alarming incident, several media platforms, YouTube channels, and Twitter accounts spread false information about Acharya Prashant. A fabricated poster went viral, falsely claiming that Acharya Prashant had labeled the Kumbh festival as superstition."

This spurred Neeraj to dive deeper, and he watched and read more of Acharya Prashant. Soon he found himself inspired to come to meet Acharya Ji face-to-face to discuss not just sports, but the essence of resilience and excellence. The Master and the Champion had a long dialogue lasting almost 2 hours, mesmerising those who were present there to silently witness.

When Neeraj Chopra, India's golden boy and one of the nation's most celebrated athletes, met Acharya Prashant recently, it was a fascinating meeting of two worlds.
