Acharya Shunya: A Divine Feminine Wisdom Keeper
Acharya Shunya has grown up in a feminine body and a family that has revered the Divine Feminine for the last 2000 years in India. At the age of 9, which is the typical age in India to be inducted into spirituality, she was formally initiated into a lifelong path of Vedic learning, teaching, and service. She was also introduced to the wisdom of ancient goddess scriptures, worship rituals, mantras, and mystical practices by her grandfather, a renowned Hindu sage and yogi of his time in India.
The more time Acharya Shunya spent contemplating and meditating on the mythology and teachings of goddesses Durga, Lakshmi, and Saraswati, the more inner strength awakened within her. Today, as the first female head of her 2000-year-old Vedic lineage and as someone who has been leading nine-day, nine-night 'Navratri' goddess immersions and retreats through Vedika Global since 2008, Acharya Shunya has imparted her unique and original goddess teachings to countless thankful students worldwide. She is also the author of "Roar Like A Goddess" (Sounds True, 2022), a book that has inspired many on their spiritual journey.
Sadhvi Aparna: Workshop Co-host
Sadhvi Aparna is a Vedic Teacher in Acharya Shunya's ancient lineage. Aparna's first exposure to The Goddess was through an intensive 9 Day 9 Night 'Navratri' Retreat with Acharya Shunya in 2009, soon after receiving her spiritual name. Aparna experienced transformational change by implementing and embodying the archetypal values associated with each of the 9 Devis. After coordinating Acharya Shunya’s community celebrations of the Goddess for over a decade, Sadhvi Aparna is well suited to support seekers as they celebrate Navratri with Acharya Shunya.
In recognition of her unwavering commitment, spiritual depth, and embodiment of Vedic principles, Aparna has been honored with the title of 'Sadhvi' by Acharya Shunya. This esteemed title not only marks her as an advanced seeker within the lineage but also recognizes her capacity to lead and share the teachings with others. As a Sadhvi, Aparna is now entrusted with the sacred responsibility of guiding others on their spiritual journeys, sharing her rich experiences and deep wisdom.
Nina Rao: Kirtan Artist Behind the Scenes
Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. For many years Nina has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanies him musically as well. In 2007, she recorded the track 'Nina Chalisa' on Krishna Das’ CD “Flow of Grace" released by Sounds True. January 2013 she released her debut album, “Antarayaami-Knower of All Hearts"; August 2018 her second album “Anubhav” was released entirely crowd-funded. Nina regularly leads kirtan, workshops, and retreats in her hometown of Brooklyn/New Paltz New York and beyond. She is also founder & chairwoman of non-profit Saving Wild Tigers which supports conservation of wild tigers and all species in their natural habitat in India. In addition, she hosts a podcast series on the Be Here Now Network exploring spirituality, practice, and conservation of wilderness and Nature (https://beherenownetwork.com/category/guest-podcasts/nina-rao/).
Nina Rao has recorded special goddess mantras exclusively for Acharya Shunya that shall be played at the start and end of the workshop.
