Thank you for your poem David. I just wanted to acknowledge your share from the samsara surfers and tell you that I completely understand your challenge with sharing these usually intimate and private aspects of ourselves and our journeys but, I'm so glad you did. 🤗

I echo your heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for Acharya Shunya-ji, all of her amazing teachers and this beautiful community. 💗

Seek Govinda, Seek Govinda !


What a beautiful journey the study of Bhajan Govinda has been ! This was just the beginning of a deeper journey back to the Self. Acharya Shunya has explained, expounded, commented each verse with love, devotion and inner guidance. She took the time to make sure we understood the deeper meaning of each word so that we could contemplate further. The Bhaja Govinda is not for the faint of heart as it literally breaks and dismantle every samsaric belief getting to the core of what truly matters and what does not. It stirs up strong emotions as the Ego fights back to finally surrender to the truth because that is whom we belong to. I still have a long way to go but the Bhaja Govinda has without any doubt awaken something greater within me, the Divine sparkle that has always been there but it was weakened and obscured by…

Jai Maa!

I have been blessed with being able to introduce my mother to Acharya Shunya's teachings. Before I came for my visit, I asked her to get The Sovereign Self so that we could read it together.


My mother asked to see Acharya on YouTube so she could see her animated. We pulled up an older video "Overview: Your Divine Inner Gifts". First...what a transmission that one is!!! And, I had the most amazing experience when she started to say that for people who are from India must also pay attention.


At that very moment, I had the experience of seeing my energy body nod her head back and forth, from side to side, as if waking up from a hypnotic state. A long, long deep sleep. I was witness to it and it was awe inspiring to witness this part of me. Then, in came Durga that Acharya channeled. What…


Jai Maa! How wonderful to share these teachings with your mother! That video is one of my favorites.

Here it is:

Seva of Light

Jai Maa Everyone ❤️



Reflecting on this remarkable year, I am filled with profound gratitude and joy ! The teachings on Bhakti Yoga and the study of Bhaja Govindam have undeniably reshaped my mind. What was once a rough cotton fabric is gradually transforming into a smooth silk, allowing me to delve into the deeper messages and lessons of the Vedas with patience and grace. As I start to embrace lifestyle changes, they become natural practices, unveiling their benefits. The sparkles of Divine Love further open my heart as I progress on this journey. Through study, contemplation, determination, and dedication, I feel more liberated from the trivial concerns that keep me in the cycle of worldly existence. Confusion and exhaustion over minor matters gradually dissipate, making way for inner clarity and a sense of choice.

The Vedic study circle feels like the sacred tree under which I gather early in…

What was once a rough cotton fabric is gradually transforming into a smooth silk…” WOW! What beautiful, apt words that capture the essence of spiritual growth. That is exactly how my journey feels, too. Jai Maa! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Morning rituals

Listening to the Bhakti yoga Satsang from this week sparked gratitude for our teacher and the teachings. Since I started studying with Acharya Shunya I have been practicing a morning routine based on her suggestions from a combination of the book Aryuveda Lifestyle Wisdom and the vedic way teachings. Waking up at Brahma Muhurta (or even earlier as I learned in the Kali section of the goddess series) has shifted my energy and my connection to Ishvara. This time of contemplation, meditation and readings of our teacher has brought me closer to my Self. I feel filled with possibility in those hours and deeply connected to the divine inside and out. I have noticed that this practice impacts the rest of the day allowing me to surrender more deeply, live more detached from relationships that used to be challenging, and feel more internally lit up. Thank you for all th…

Announcing Sita's Gems Unearthing the Vastness of the Divine Feminine

Jai Maa Sadasya's,



Acharya Shunya ji recently announced some very exciting news about a project that she has been working on with other woman wisdom leasders! Please read her words below;


For the past many months, I’ve been immersed in a unique production called Sita’s Gems, a Sitayana of sorts—an audio retelling of Sita’s story unlike anything you’ve ever heard.


This hybrid audio production–part audiobook, part guided course–is a symphony orchestrated to open the doorways of your own heart, while serving to illuminate and integrate the multi-faceted nature of the feminine within us.


Sita’s Gems may both help dispel the doubts of those lovers of the Ramayana who have been so challenged by Sita’s treatment in the epic, and also be of interest to anyone who desires to integrate the multi-faceted nature of the feminine within us all.

Bhakti Yoga reflections

I want to thank our teacher for sharing the Bhakti teachings since September 2023. The journey has been deeply profound for me. I have been reflecting on this journey recently and notice that the word and embodied experience that marks my experience so far is surrender. I notice a deep level of shrada and surrender into Ishvara's plan. I notice in situations where historically I felt stuck or very "dry" there is now the sensation of a waterfall of knowing that Ishvara has me and that I can surrender to that trust alone. In that surrender arises a connection to self. I have just begun experiencing a connection to self as my ego is plugging into that source and light and disolving slowly into that love. Ishvara was at first only outside for me which was tricky for me because I grew up with an external punishing god wh…
