Media Coverage of Acharya Prashant

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.

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.

"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."

“We often see that after having children, women begin to revolve their entire lives around raising them and managing household responsibilities. In this process, many times they leave their own identity, preferences, and dreams behind. On this very issue, Acharya Prashant shared his view and raised a question: should it be that the children study, progress, move ahead in life, and the mother’s only source of pride remains that she keeps making kheer and puri for them? Why is it like this?”

In a rare gesture, rather than host the philosopher on its own campus as is customary for such lectures, the college brought its faculty and students to a college auditorium in Greater Noida, close to Acharya Prashant's residence. Much of the discussion turned on education. Invoking the Upanishadic terms 'avidya' and 'vidya', Acharya Prashant said modern schooling attends almost entirely to the external world while neglecting the self, so that students take near-irreversible decisions in their teens and twenties without knowing who is deciding for them.

“If satisfaction could be found within limits, you would already be satisfied. It is limits that make you restless. And the Guru about whom we claim that he will grant us peace—if you confine him as well to just one body and one particular day, then from where will that peace come?”

"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."

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."

"On the evening of 9 July, philosopher and author Acharya Prashant and renowned cognitive neuroscientist Prof. Steve Fleming held a public dialogue on self-knowledge, metacognition, and consciousness at University College London (UCL). This session, titled "Thinking About Thinking," was the final event of Acharya Prashant’s visit to the United Kingdom, during which he had earlier addressed audiences at the Cambridge Union, Oxford, the House of Lords, Queen Mary University of London, and the London School of Economics."

"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. "

A man tells Acharya Prashant about his problem, saying that his family often tells him, ‘We invested so much money in you; now pay it back with interest. The family says this quite openly.’ After hearing him, Acharya Prashant responds, ‘If relationships are being conducted in the language of business, then business runs on contracts. Tell them to first show you the contract.

ऑक्सफोर्ड और कैम्ब्रिज जैसे प्रतिष्ठित अंतरराष्ट्रीय मंचों पर भारतीय दर्शन को प्रभावशाली ढंग से प्रस्तुत करने के बाद आचार्य प्रशांत के स्वदेश लौटने पर दिल्ली में उनका भव्य स्वागत हुआ। उन्होंने भारतीय ज्ञान परंपरा की प्रासंगिकता पर जोर देते हुए कहा कि वेदांत और उपनिषद केवल धार्मिक विचार नहीं, बल्कि मानव जीवन, समाज और प्रकृति के संतुलन का गहन विज्ञान हैं। आचार्य के अनुसार, आज के पर्यावरणीय, मानसिक और सामाजिक संकटों का समाधान केवल तकनीक से नहीं, बल्कि चेतना और जीवनशैली में मूलभूत परिवर्तन से संभव है।

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.

Oxford, which brought the Ishavasya Upanishad to the West a century and a half ago, is now returning it to its vivid meaning by an Indian philosopher. Acharya Prashant argues that no external policy, from the climate crisis to the nuclear threat — will work as long as the consuming ego remains untested.

It was from Oxford that Professor Max Müller, in 1879, published the first English translation of the Ishavasya Upanishad through Oxford University Press in the inaugural volume of the Sacred Books of the East series, introducing this text to the Western world. Nearly a century and a half later, on that very soil, an Indian philosopher arrived to restore the same Upanishad to its original, living meaning.

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.

“Acharya Prashant described the fact that an Indian is teaching Vedanta at Oxford as a meaningful coincidence. He said that the knowledge of Vedanta has never been secret; anyone who wishes to learn it can do so, and eligibility is not determined by birth, caste, or social class, but by the qualifications described in the Sādhana Chatuṣṭaya (the fourfold spiritual disciplines), which are entirely based on individual qualities and preparedness. He added that in the Western tradition, this knowledge was once viewed from the outside as an object of study, whereas today the same knowledge is being presented from within its own living tradition.

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?"

On the occasion of World Environment Day, Indian philosopher and author Acharya Prashant is currently appearing on some of Britain’s most prestigious intellectual and policymaking platforms with a message that is entirely different from the conventional environmental discourse there.

Despite 30 COP summits, carbon emissions continue to rise—Acharya Prashant is raising these uncomfortable questions at Britain's highest echelons. From Cambridge to the House of Lords and beyond to Oxford, he argues that the root of the climate crisis lies not in technology, but in human desire.

In a tour that has placed an Indian philosopher on the stage of some of Britain’s most prestigious intellectual and policy stages, Acharya Prashant has spent the past week carrying a climate message to capacity audiences at the Cambridge Union, in a one-on-one dialogue with a British peer of the realm, in public sessions that have drawn British audiences well beyond the Indian community, and across a sequence of upcoming engagements at Oxford, the London School of Economics, King’s College London, and London Climate Action Week.

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.

Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant addressed a packed auditorium at the University of Cambridge in the UK on Friday. In this fireside chat held at the historic Cambridge Union, he stated that humanity's deepest crises—with climate change at the forefront—cannot be resolved through technology or policies alone, because their roots lie not in the external world, but in the inner life of human beings, which has never been seriously examined. The response from the audience was extraordinary; all the seats had been fully booked a day in advance.

A mother shared that her son had become addicted to drugs. After hearing this, Acharya Prashant said that the child should be given a meaningful purpose that can give direction to his life.

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.

"Some children spend their childhood not in happiness, but amidst fear and domestic violence. Instead of parental love and peace, they witness daily fights and stress. A similar case recently came before author Acharya Prashant. After listening to the son, he raised the question as to why family members tolerate all this in the first place."

Acharya Prashant’s guidance for mothers: "Dedicate the necessary time to your child, but remember to prioritize your own growth as well."

Addressing a massive gathering of over 100,000 online and on-ground attendees at the Indradhanush Auditorium, Acharya Prashant delivered a powerful message on societal conditioning. Commenting on recent media controversies, he urged society to transcend the archaic mindset that reduces women to objects, calling for systemic introspection into how gender roles alter behavior and language.

A special dialogue session with Acharya Prashant — a Vedanta scholar and author — was organized on Sunday at the Indradhanush Auditorium in Sector-5. This event was held for the first time in Panchkula, drawing a large number of participants. Approximately 2,000 people attended in person, while more than 100,000 viewers watched online. Every seat in the auditorium was occupied, and additional space had to be arranged for the overflow.

Renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant, during his first tour of Punjab, introduced the residents of Ludhiana to the true purpose of life. Addressing a special gathering organised at the city's Guru Nanak Dev Bhawan, he stated that today's human being is so deeply engrossed in the blind race of modernity and superficial showmanship that they are continuously drifting away from their core, fundamental nature.

The chant "Har Har Mahadev" is often heard echoing during religious festivals and pilgrimages. But are the millions of people who chant this slogan aware of its true meaning and seriousness? Acharya Prashant shared his thoughts on this topic in a video.

Many times, cases of parental neglect emerge as children grow older. Acharya Prashant has expressed his views on this topic. He said that sons often treat their mothers like tennis shuttles, tossing them back and forth between them. Keep in mind that a blood relationship alone does not constitute a bond of love.

"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.

Ambedkar on Ambedkar Jayanti.

"Renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has once again received a death threat. This threat was given to him through a YouTube account following a statement he made in honor of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar."

"A spokesperson for the Foundation said that such threats are not new and tend to follow his public statements on sensitive topics. ‘Whenever he speaks in support of women, one group reacts aggressively. When he speaks against superstition, another section targets him. Similarly, his remarks against terrorism invite backlash from different quarters,’ he said."

"Acharya Prashant made students at VNIT Nagpur aware of the crisis of FOMO and ego. Through the Gita, he explained how narrow purposes affect life and the environment."

FOMO', or Fear of Missing Out, is not a new problem; rather, this feeling has existed within humans since ancient times. In the Mahabharata, Duryodhana was also afflicted by this very feeling, which stood him against Shri Krishna.

His national tour continues with planned sessions in Delhi-NCR and Nagpur."

Pakistan's condition is not hidden from the world. This country, struggling for every rupee, is underdeveloped when it comes to development. People often wonder how the nation came to be in this state. There are several historical and political reasons behind it. On this issue, Acharya Prashant pointed to the British era and the education system as a key cause. In a video, he explained how many Muslims rejected English education, a decision whose consequences Pakistan is facing today.

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.

While praising their rebellious spirit as a positive sign that they don't give in to external authority easily, Acharya Prashant highlighted a glaring blind spot. He stated that Gen Z's true crisis is not outside, but within. They are heavily driven by the ego, blunting out thoughts without assessing the collateral damage to those around them. This deep entrenchment of the ego is, in fact, Gen Z's biggest weakness. If they wish to be recognised as the most competent and evolved leaders of society, they must first dismantle this psychological habit.

"During an interactive session at Indore's Lata Mangeshkar Auditorium addressing daily life, self-awareness, fear, and societal pressures, author and philosopher Acharya Prashant stated that although massive structures and rituals exist in the name of religion today, they must not be mistaken for spirituality."

Acharya Prashant pointed out that Prahlad is no political insurgent. He represents that clean, inner refusal that says: 'No. No matter how mighty the lie, I shall not side with it.' This is all the more poignant because Hiranyakashipu is not just a ruler, but a father. This means the legend of Holi teaches us that no bond is greater than Truth, and no power is superior to Truth.

"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.”

Acharya Prashant, who attended a program organized at GBU, said that Mahashivratri is not just a festival of rituals, but it inspires humans to look within themselves.

"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."

“Acharya Prashant attended the 'Delhi Literature Festival' organized in Delhi. During a special conversation with News18 at the event, he stated that once we draw a rigid line of division, it becomes incredibly difficult to understand both sides. After that, even ordinary matters begin to look like conspiracies, and the actual conspiracy goes unnoticed. People start feeling that their enemy is someone on the outside.”

"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."

“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."

Ahead of the 77th Republic Day, Acharya Prashant delivered a profound message stating that inner awakening is far more important than external frameworks. The true essence of a republic is realized only when citizens liberate their own inner minds.

“On the relationship between inner and outer freedom, Acharya Prashant gave the example of the Gita, stating that when Arjuna faces a highly adverse external war on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Shri Krishna does not teach him how to fight that external war physically. Shri Krishna imparts inner wisdom to Arjuna. Anyone who possesses inner freedom can never be enslaved externally.”

Recently, he raised serious questions about the role of fathers towards their daughters. He argues that if fathers truly loved their daughters, would they push them to spend their lives with someone else? According to him, this thinking is extremely irresponsible. Let's understand in detail why Acharya Prashant said this."

Going forward, anyone can join simply by downloading the Acharya Prashant app. There is no paywall, no premium tier, no catch."

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."

In a special conversation with BBC News Hindi editor Nitin Srivastava, he openly expressed his views on religion, caste system, Vedanta, status of women and the current situation of India.

"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"

Dhurandhar: Acharya Prashant has expressed displeasure over the reels celebrating characters playing Pakistani terrorists.

Acharya Prashant statement on Dhurandhar

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."

"Author Acharya Prashant often shares his insightful opinions on issues related to inculcating good values ​​and appropriate behavior in children. "

"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."

"External lamps will eventually blow out, but if the inner lamp is lit, it will guide your path for a lifetime. Therefore, before celebrating Diwali this time, stop for a moment and look within: is there still any darkness left inside? If yes, then ignite that very spot, burst those inner illusions—that will be your true Diwali."

"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."

Independence Day is not just a date, but the day when India broke free from the shackles of foreign rule and took control of its own future. This day reminds us of the sacrifices of the freedom fighters who gave us this freedom.

“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.”

"We must ask… if someone moves forward through deceit, fraud, and trickery, do they deserve respect? Are we ready to ensure that knowledge, effort, and justice get the respect they deserve? Until we do so, such failures will continue to hollow out our youth."

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

"Almost all parties across the political spectrum have taken support of Acharya Prashant's ideas from time to time. Yet, he has not maintained any association with any political, social, or commercial organization to date. Even during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, both Congress and the BJP shared an excerpt of one of his speeches on their official X (formerly Twitter) handles. Now, as the trumpet for the election battle sounds in Bihar, Congress has recently once again shared a video of Acharya Prashant on Mahatma Gandhi from its official handle."

"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."

The PrashantAdvait Foundation, established by Acharya Prashant in 2015, is working to connect spirituality, Vedanta, and self-awareness with modern life. Through live sessions, retreats, books, and digital platforms, the organization is spreading awareness and consciousness among the youth.

"Acharya Prashant speech on Guru Purnima 2025: On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima 2025, a special address by the eminent spiritual thinker Acharya Prashant will be broadcast live across the country. The event will commence from Goa on July 10 at 7:30 PM and will be screened in over 30 cities across multiplex channels like PVR and INOX."

"The objective of the foundation is to help individuals attain inner clarity by questioning social conditioning, consumerism, and dogmatic religious beliefs. To achieve this, the PrashantAdvait Foundation spreads awareness through various mediums—live sessions, Vedanta camps, digital courses, scripture discussions, and thousands of video lectures. Recently, the foundation has partnered with major cinema chains like PVR INOX, under which Acharya Prashant's live sessions are being broadcast in theaters across more than 20 cities nationwide. This initiative is an innovative effort to reach out to the new generation."

"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.

"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.' "

"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.

"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."

"Renowned Spiritual Teacher and founder of PrashantAdvait Foundation Acharya Prashant on Friday said that reservations are meant for the empowerment of the people. He also advised that any empowered person who is in position to help others should stop taking it and start helping others."

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. The caste census should guide affirmative action policies aimed at creating equity." He cautioned against its misuse, adding, "We must focus on integration, not polarization." His insights emphasized the need for thoughtful and inclusive application of such initiatives.

"Spiritual Teacher and founder of PrashantAdvait Foundation Acharya Prashant on Friday said that data collection is “neither forward nor backward”, adding that it is the intention behind caste census that matters the most."

"Yes. It's that time of the year again when the IIT Delhi Alumni Association celebrates the work and achievements of one of India's most distinguished personalities. In the year 2025, Acharya Prashant has been awarded the Outstanding Contribution to National Development (OCND) award in the unique category of Spiritual and Social Leadership. The Award was presented by Kalpen Shukla, President of the IIT Delhi Alumni Association during a special ceremony at the IIT Delhi's Seminar Hall on April 26th"

"Acharya Prashant stated that terrorists must remember this is the land of the Gita. He said, “What strikes me as shocking is that we think about fighting evil forces without the Gita and without power. If Arjuna had not received the wisdom of the Gita, he wouldn't have been able to shoot a single arrow. The Gita is essential. All the deities were together, yet they were unable to confront the demons. To fight demons, you need divinity, you need strength—and perhaps that is where we fall short.”

Author and Vedanta philosopher Acharya Prashant spoke on the Pahalgam terror attack, stating that this attack is an assault on our nation. And they want the nation to break from within. If we react blindly and with rage, we will only fulfill their designs.

AajTak: Acharya Prashant said that Kashmir is the biggest victim of this attack. The people there have taken loans for vehicles and hotels for their livelihood. Now, in an atmosphere of violence, how will they repay their loans? The enemies' intention is to break Kashmir away from India, therefore, we must stand with the Kashmiri people at this time.

Pahalgam Terror Attack: Following the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, anger has spread across the country. Meanwhile, renowned author and head of the Prashant Advaita Foundation, Acharya Prashant, has issued a significant statement.

"There is grief and anger in every part of the country regarding the Pahalgam attack. People associated with spirituality are also condemning this attack and denouncing terrorism. Renowned author and head of the PrashantAdvait Foundation, Acharya Prashant, also expressed his anger over the Pahalgam attack. He warned the terrorists that India is the land of the Gita, and those who follow the Gita never back down in the face of injustice."

Acharya Prashant, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, was honored with the 'Outstanding Contribution to National Development' (OCND) award by the IIT Delhi Alumni Association.

"Acharya Prashant, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad, was honored with the 'Outstanding Contribution to National Development' (OCND) award by the IIT Delhi Alumni Association."

Acharya Prashant, the renowned author and founder of PrashantAdvait Foundation, emphasized the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, warning terrorists that India, the land of the Gita, will never bow to fanatic ignorance. He stressed the importance of courage, wisdom, and clarity in confronting violence and ignorance.

"Acharya Prashant received the 'Outstanding Contribution to National Development' Award from IIT Delhi Alumni Association for promoting spiritual wisdom and national consciousness through teachings, books, and large-scale initiatives."

Acharya Prashant emphasizes the significance of the Gita in overcoming emotional reactivity and achieving victory in confrontations with irrational forces. Highlighting the need for spiritual values, he asserts that following the right path without fear leads to success. His insights come amidst discussions on national values and responses to terrorism.

"Following the Pahalgam terror attack, renowned author and founder of PrashantAdvait Foundation Acharya Prashant warned terrorists that India is "the land of the Gita," and added that its followers "never stand helpless in front of fanatic ignorance."

"Acharya Prashant's national bestselling books are remarkable for bringing the essence of Gita and Vedanta to the common man in a contemporary and practical way."

"Acharya Prashant stated that 'the Pahalgam terror attack is not just an isolated act of cruelty by a few individuals, but it is the consequence of a deeply rooted hatred, and we must confront it as a nation."

"Speaking on women's empowerment, Acharya Prashant said, "Empowerment does not come from rights or laws alone, but comes when society starts seeing women as a free individual beyond just their biological identity." He said that until the mindset changes, equality will remain a mere pretense. He described self-knowledge as the central point of life."

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.

Dialogue with Students on the Topic 'Relevance of Vedanta in Modern Life'

"During this meeting, he held detailed discussions on the propagation and modern relevance of Indian philosophy, especially Vedanta and the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. During the meeting, Acharya Prashant explained how Vedanta can be taken to today's youth and the general public through modern mediums. He mentioned the special presentations held recently at multiplex theatres like PVR and INOX in Bhopal, as well as the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Bhopal, where he effectively shared insights based on Vedanta."

"Highlighting the relevance of Vedanta amidst the complexities of modern life and global crises, renowned philosopher, Vedanta expert, and author Acharya Prashant addressed two exclusive events in Bhopal on Sunday. Organised under the aegis of the PrashantAdvait Foundation, these events took place at PVR INOX and the Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT). The themes included—self-awareness, the Bhagavad Gita, climate change, women's empowerment, and the ethical challenges of modern life."

"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."

"Acharya Prashant shared his insights for nearly six hours, discussing contemporary issues such as freedom of expression, artificial intelligence (AI), climate change, and consumerism. His thoughts spellbound the audience as he presented these topics in an incredibly simple and practical manner, allowing all attendees to connect on a deeper level."

"The atmosphere was electric as the discussion unfolded, covering a wide range of thought-provoking topics. From the nuances of freedom of expression and the responsibilities that come with it to the ethical dilemmas posed by artificial intelligence, climate change, and the ever-growing culture of consumerism, Acharya Prashant held the audience in rapt attention. His insights on political delimitation also sparked deep contemplation. Students, faculty, and alumni alike were left spellbound by his ability to simplify complex ideas while making them intensely relevant to today’s world."

"A former student of IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, Acharya Prashant is a modern Vedanta scholar, philosopher, and prolific author with over 160 books to his name, published by leading houses like Penguin and HarperCollins"

"During the conversation, several burning issues were discussed—the boundaries of freedom of expression, artificial intelligence and ethics, challenges related to climate change, and the growing influence of consumerism. Acharya Prashant did not merely present these subjects theoretically, but suggested practical solutions in the light of ancient Indian wisdom traditions."

"Language is not merely a medium of communication. It carries with it a worldview, a way of living, and an entire cultural and spiritual heritage. The history of an entire society echoes in its sounds, serving as a thread that keeps people connected to their roots. Hundreds of languages are spoken in India, and each language tells its own unique story, fostering a deep sense of belonging and connection. There is a common perception that South India opposes Hindi. However, this is not the reality."

"At the Satya Sanatan Conclave spiritual teacher, Acharya Prashant spoke on the philosophies of life, Vedanta, the importance of Upanishads, religion and the importance of truth."

"Seeking deeper wisdom, Olympian Neeraj Chopra met Acharya Prashant. The talk has gone viral on YouTube with 4 million views. Acharya Prashant highlighted that victory is rst won within, through self-knowledge. Introducing Neeraj to the Bhagavad Gita, the renowned author inspired Neeraj with a challenge saying, "I'm waiting for you to cross not just the 90m, but the 100m mark."

"Acharya Prashant's article on Holi, published by India News: "Holi is not merely a festival of colours and exuberance, but it is also a symbol of the end of ego and false identity. The real message of this festival is tied to self-knowledge and inner purification. However, amidst changing traditions and a culture of ostentation, are we losing its core essence?"

"Once the Upanishads have declared that you must not conceptualize Shiva, nor attempt to give Him any form, color, or shape—that even imagining stories or anecdotes about Him is mere audacity—then if you are told a tale or story about Shiva anywhere else after that, you must reject all such narratives immediately."

""When Sant Ravidas says that he was born into a so-called lower caste, he is not actually speaking about his caste. A saint is beyond the boundaries of any caste or class. They do not accept the body received at birth as their truth. When he refers to birth as lowly, he is describing the physical condition of all of humanity. He is saying that only a person who can clearly perceive the tendency to remain trapped in the old habits of the body can break free from it."

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.

"This attack can be compared to the historic event at Nalanda University when Bakhtiyar Khilji burned down its library. At that time, India's greatest intellectual heritage was reduced to ashes. The irony is that a similar attack, which was once counted among the greatest tragedies of Indian culture, is being repeated today during the Kumbh Mela on the banks of the Ganga."

"Republic Day is a symbol of the greatness of our nation's freedom struggle, but the real meaning of freedom goes far beyond just the three colors of the tricolor and the respect for the national flag. It is not just a symbol, but a deep and comprehensive sense of independence that needs to be understood. When we think about freedom, a question often arises in our minds: is freedom just the name of three colors moving with the support of a wheel, or does it have another deeper meaning? This question compels us to reflect on what the real meaning of freedom is and how we can comprehend it."

"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."

"Recently, a video has been going viral on social media and certain YouTube channels claiming that Acharya Prashant termed the Kumbh as a superstition. A poster was shown in this video, based on which a book stall located at the Kumbh, where Acharya Prashant's religious books were being distributed, was set on fire. However, the truth is that Acharya Prashant has made no such statement. His foundation has also clarified that the person who created and circulated this poster is neither associated with their foundation nor is a volunteer."

"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."

"An incident occurred recently during the sacred gathering of the Kumbh Mela that has shaken every conscious individual. A fake poster was made viral using the name of Vedanta expert and popular author Acharya Prashant. This poster falsely claimed that he had termed the Kumbh Mela as a 'superstition'. Upon investigation, it became clear that this claim was entirely false and baseless. Acharya Prashant has never made any such statement. Despite this, the fake news succeeded in inciting violence within the peaceful atmosphere of the Kumbh. This incident cannot be a mere coincidence. Such violence and propaganda at a holy gathering like the Kumbh appear well-planned."

"A shocking incident occurred recently at the Kumbh Mela. A fake poster went viral in the name of Acharya Prashant, claiming that he termed the Kumbh as a superstition. Upon investigation, this claim turned out to be completely fake. Acharya Prashant has never made any such statement. However, this false news triggered violence. Former soldier Mohan Singh, who was present at the spot, stated that this was a completely pre-planned conspiracy. Some people first circulated the fake poster and then went on to burn scriptures written about and compiled by Acharya Prashant—such as the Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Mahabharat, Durga Saptashati, Shiva Sutras, and Ramayana—which were being distributed at the Kumbh. Not only this, but the book distributors were also physically assaulted."

"The Kumbh festival, rooted in ancient Indian mythology, symbolizes the quest for immortality and the philosophical insights of Vedanta. Understanding the deeper meanings behind its stories leads to wisdom. The festival should focus on intellectual exchanges and environmental preservation to retain its significance and promote spiritual growth."

Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Neeraj Chopra recently met spiritual leader Acharya Prashant. During the meeting, Neeraj revealed how he first came across Acharya through his “4C Analysis” of India’s Olympic performance—a thought-provoking model that identifies Capital, Culture, Conformity, and Cricket as the core challenges holding Indian athletes back. 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.

"In 2024, PrashantAdvait Foundation (PAF) achieved a unique milestone by saving one million animals by inspiring 50,000+ families to quit animal-based food. With Acharya Prashant’s wisdom, PAF connects spirituality with animal welfare & fosters compassion & sustainability. Further, the Foundation closed the year by managing to curtail animal sacrifice in the world’s biggest animal sacrifice festival in Nepal."

"With religion slowly becoming a bad and tarnished term for today’s generation, books distributed by PrashantAdvait Foundation have helped in bringing back youngsters to spirituality. These books challenge traditional dogmas and encourage youngsters to question societal norms."

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.

Rooted in the understanding that spirituality and animal welfare are intrinsically linked, the Foundation’s strategies are founded on principles of empathy and ethical responsibility.

"The PrashantAdvait Foundation (PAF), guided by Acharya Prashant, is one of the most widely followed spiritual organizations in the world. The foundation is now doing exceptional work in revolutionising animal welfare through an unprecedented blend of spiritual wisdom and strategic intervention. By transforming ancient spiritual principles into modern, actionable strategies, PAF is leading a global movement towards more compassionate treatment of animals."

In a press conference held in Patna, spiritual teacher and author Acharya Prashant joined animal protection organizations Humane Society International/India and People For Animals, to urge devotees to refrain from sacrificing animals during the Gadhimai festival.
