Media Coverage of Acharya Prashant

Philosopher and author Acharya Prashant spoke on the movement that emerged following the NEET-UG paper leak and student suicides. He stated that this crisis is not merely an administrative failure, but rather "an indication of a much deeper crisis within our education system and society."

Philosopher Acharya Prashant returned to India on Sunday after a landmark leg of his United Kingdom tour that took him to the platforms of Oxford University, Cambridge and the UK Parliament, where he placed the teachings of Vedanta and Indian Philosophy at the centre of global discourse on some of the defining questions of our times.

After placing Indian philosophy and Vedanta at the center of global discourse from the platforms of Oxford University, Cambridge, and the UK Parliament, philosopher Acharya Prashant returned home on Sunday. Hundreds of students and listeners from across the country greeted him at the Delhi airport, holding placards in their hands. The placards bore messages of welcome and appreciation for his addresses at Oxford, Cambridge, and the UK Parliament. Children ran to him, waving the tricolor.

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.

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.

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 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.

"New Delhi, 14 April (IANS). Renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has once again received a death threat. This threat was given to him through a YouTube account after a speech delivered in honor of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar."

"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 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 January 16, Acharya Prashant’s first Patna dialogue at the historic Bapu Auditorium near Gandhi Maidan proved unforgettable. The programme ran far beyond its scheduled time and concluded nearly four hours later. Despite the biting cold, close to five thousand listeners remained seated until late at night.

"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."

"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."
