Author Info: A prodigious child and academically extraordinary since childhood, his journey took him through technical and management education at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi and Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad. With the yards of the best of corporate enterprises inviting him, he worked as a management professional for a few years in diverse industries. He was doing great professionally, as is expected of someone of his pedigree. But no matter how lucrative the affairs of the world are, they hold little importance when the Truth beckons. Something of the beyond was craving to find expression through the young man. A mystical and spiritual urge led to the formation of Advait Life-Education when he was 28, with a vision of bringing to people an inner clarity which is so obvious, so present, and yet missing from their lives.Around the age of 30, Acharya Prashant started speaking publicly in the form of public discourses, followed by open discussions. Soon it started becoming clear that these sessions were deeply meditative, brought the mind to a strange peace, and had a miraculously curative effect upon the psyche of the listeners. Acharya Prashant’s voice and videos would be recorded and uploaded on the internet. Around the same time, he started leading Self-awareness camps. He would take true seekers with him to the Himalayas, in groups of around 30 each. Five uninterrupted days of closeness to him and his magical discourses would bring the seekers a peace that is otherwise rare. Besides speaking directly on various aspects of life, Acharya Ji would discourse on spiritual texts, and masters, from across the world and across the ages. Today, thirty three such camps have been organised, and they have turned out to be deeply transformational, providing immense clarity and peace to seekers from all across the world. With the fire of intelligence and clarity spreading across the world via the words of Acharya Ji, soon the PrashantAdvait Foundation was formed as a vehicle of self-clarity based on meditative understanding and scriptures like Advait Vedanta, with the vision of “Creation of a new humanity through intelligent Spirituality”. Acharya has been rigorously involved in delivering discourses on basic existentials like Love, Fear, Death, Greed, Jealousy, Ambition, etc. In general, he relishes speaking on Vedantic literature and his discourses have references to saints and philosophies and wisdom texts from all times and places. His distinguishing feature is his ability to render lucidity to some highly philosophical texts and present them effectively even to a beginners’ audience. He harmonises the ancient with the modern, the dogmatic with the scientific, the philosophical with the simple, and the profound with the profane, and he epitomizes a ‘modern Saint’. Not only the style of his talks but also their methodology is such that the listener establishes an instant connection and experiences a delight in the process of listening.
