Media Coverage of Acharya Prashant

"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."

"IISc is fundamentally a research institution. Its doctoral scholars and scientists question assumptions, demand evidence and subject ideas to relentless scrutiny."

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

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."

"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.

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"

Success Tips: If you are searching for success in life but cannot find the right path, then the words of Acharya Prashant can be life-restoring for you. He teaches that true success does not begin outside, but from within. From setting goals to maintaining focus, each of his teachings gives you mental peace and clarity.

"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."

"In a searing indictment of the global community's failure to confront the climate emergency, renowned philosopher and author Acharya Prashant has warned that humanity has already crossed a critical threshold in global warming.

"With India carrying out precision strikes on terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, author and Advaita teacher Acharya Prashant has said that there are times when the right response can be in the form of inflicting damage on someone who is not ready to understand any other language."

"Navbharat - Acharya Prashant delivered an important message regarding the caste census: Acharya Prashant stated that if the caste census is utilized to identify marginalized communities for more accurate and efficient policy-making, then it is a good step."

"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."

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.

"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.
