Prashant Tripathi, often known as Acharya Prashant, is a teacher in Advaita and a famous author from India. He covers seventeen Gita types and sixty Upanishad forms. Penguin Books published his new Amazon best-seller Karma: (Why Everything You Know About It Is Wrong). Acharya paints his words in readers' minds with his creative excellence and lectures daily, connecting everyday life to spirituality. He is the creator of the Prashant Advait Foundation, a non-profit organization, and he is also a vegan campaigner.

 

Prashant Tripathi graduated from IIT Delhi with a bachelor's degree in engineering and went to IIM Ahmedabad for his post-graduate studies in management. He initially labored for the Indian Civil Services before becoming a Vedanta teacher and author.

 

Acharya Prashant was born in Agra, India, on the day of Maha Shiv Ratri on March 7th, 1978. His father was a bureaucrat and his mother was a homemaker, and he was the firstborn of three siblings. He lived most of his boyhood in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Parents and instructors described him as a child who might be playful at times and then instantly become extremely thoughtful. 

 

Friends remember him as having an enigmatic personality, not knowing if he was kidding or serious. He was a great student who constantly topped his class and got the highest honors and awards a student could receive. His mother recalls being hailed as 'Mother Queen' on multiple occasions for her child's scholastic achievements. 

 

Teachers would exclaim that they had never encountered a student who excelled in science as well as Philosophy, Mathematics as well as Languages, and English as well as Hindi. In a public ceremony, the state's then-Governor congratulated him for reaching a new standard in the Board examinations and for being an NTSE scholar.

 

Since he was five years old, the wayward student had been a voracious reader. His father's large home library had some of the best writings from around the world, including spiritual texts such as the Upanishads. The youngster would be tucked away in the quietest corners of the house for lengthy periods, engaged in material that was intended to be comprehended only by men of old age and maturity. 

 

He'd miss food and slumber while engrossed in a book. Prashant had read practically everything in his father's library by the time he was ten, and he was begging for more. When he was eleven years old, he began writing poems and the first traces of the mystical arose. His writings were full of enigmatic overtones and posed issues that most adults couldn't answer.

 

Due to his father's transportable profession, he discovered himself in Ghaziabad, near Delhi, at the age of fifteen, after so many years in Lucknow. The passage of time and the changeover of city hastened a tendency that had essentially taken hold. He began waking up at night and, in addition to studying, he often stared blankly at the night sky. His poetry became more elaborate, with many of them dedicated to the twilight and the moon. His focus shifted away from academia and towards the supernatural.

Despite this, he proceeded to do well in school and was accepted into the renowned Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi. His experiences at IIT were filled with international travel, active participation in student politics, and success as a public speaker and actor in national events and contests. He had a bright presence on campus, and was a trusted youth leader, also had a heartfelt stage presence. 

 

He would constantly win the argument and extemporaneous communicative speech with competitors from all across the nation, as well as also win awards for producing and playing in noteworthy plays. He won the 'Best Actor Award' in one of the performances for a rendition in which he didn't say a word and didn't move a significant step.

 

He had long suspected that there is something profoundly wrong with the way most people comprehend the world, with the way our perceptions are shaped to feature, and thus with the way people's connections are structured, with the way worldly organizations are intended, with the way our civilizations functions – in short, with the way we do things. 

 

He'd begun to observe that human tragedy stemmed from a lack of total awareness. Man's knowledge and nurtured inadequacy, the horrors of poverty, the evils of materialism, aggression against man, creatures, and the planet, and oppression based on limited ideology and self-interest all upset him severely. His whole soul yearned to confront the all-pervasive misery, and as a young person, he reasoned that a career in the Indian Civil Forces or administration would be a good fit.

 

In the aforementioned year, he was accepted into the Indian Civil Services and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad. However, because the profession was given to him he predicated on his position was not the IAS – the career he had desired – and even though he was increasingly understanding that the administration was not the greatest location to bring about radical transformation, he chose to attend IIM.

 

He learned a lot of academic information during his two years at IIM. He, on the other hand, was not the kind to limit himself to laboring for grades and positions, as is the custom in these prestigious universities. He could spend time educating children at an NGO in a slum near Gandhi Ashram, and he could also teach Mathematics to graduates to raise money for the NGO. 

 

Furthermore, he used theatre to communicate his dissatisfaction with willful ignorance. He produced, as well as performed in, plays such as 'Khamosh, Adalat jaari hai,' 'Rhinoceros,' 'Pagla Ghoda,' and 'The night of January 16th.' He was managing two plays at the same time at one point. The plays were played in front of a sold-out audience at the IIM theatre, which included people from all across the city. He had discovered himself an outcast on the school, which was profit-driven and self-interested. These philosophical and subversive plays allowed him to express his distress while also preparing him for the larger stage that was ahead.

 

As he describes it, the following few years were devoted in the wilderness. This was a time of great grief, longing, and searching, according to him. He constantly transferred occupations and sectors in search of calm in the corporate sector. He would take leisure off and get away from the metropolis and attempt to regain his serenity. It was getting more evident to him that he couldn't do what he needed to do or convey what was calling out to be communicated within him, through any usual path. 

 

His learning resolved and grew stronger, and he created mindfulness and spiritual literature-based management course for post-graduates and seasoned professionals. The program was offered at a few reputable colleges, and he would occasionally be instructing pupils who were older than he was. The course was a success, and he began to see the path more clearly.

 

He left commercial life at the age of twenty-eight and formed Advait Life-Education with the goal of "creating a new mankind via intelligent religion." The goal was to bring about a profound shift in human awareness. College pupils who were provided with self-development programs were the target demographic at first. Students were given ancient humanities wisdom in the form of reduced readings and fascinating exercises.

 

While Advait's work was excellent and received much acclaim, he also faced significant hurdles. The social and academic systems have trained students to study solely to pass exams and obtain a degree to secure employment. The self-education transcends education, and life-education that Advait was seeking to convey to the pupils was so fresh and unusual from all they had ever read or encountered that it frequently resulted in apathy toward Advait's classes, and even antagonism from the establishment. 

 

Even the leadership of the colleges and the parents of the children would frequently fail to appreciate the enormity and significance of what Advait was valiantly attempting. Despite these setbacks, Advait managed to perform admirably. Thousands of kids have been touched and transformed as a result of the mission's expansion.

 

Acharya Prashant began speaking in his Samvaad, or enlightenment sessions, at the age of 30. These took the shape of open talks on important life topics. Soon, it was evident that these encounters were highly contemplative, that they brought the mind to a weird serenity, and that they had a marvelously therapeutic effect on the psyche. The voice and footage of Acharya Prashant will be filmed and uploaded online. Soon after, a website was created to house his writings as well as interview transcripts of his presentations.

 

He began hosting self-awareness camps about the same period. He could take sincere aspirants to the Himalayas in batches of roughly 30 people for a week Himalayas. These seminars proved to be profoundly transformative, and their frequency grew as a result. So far, hundreds of campsites have been established, offering enormous insight and serenity in quite short periods.

 

The spiritual writing of Acharya Prashant is on par with the finest words ever spoken by humanity. He continues to share himself with several seekers who come to see from all over the world through debate groups, self-awareness retreats, and one-on-one encounters. 

 

He strikes the psyche with such vigor while yet soothing it with such kindness and care. His presence exudes clarity and his essence has a calming impact. His communication approach is direct, straightforward, mystical, and sympathetic. In face of his pure and basic questions, the vanity and the falsehoods of the mind have nowhere to hide. He engages his listeners in a game of laughter, teasing, attacking, and clarifying, taking them to the absolute depths of contemplative quiet. On the one side, he seems to be a person who is extremely close and friendly, but the things that are pouring from him are clearly from anywhere else.

Thousands of videos and writings that he has put to the Internet are valuable spiritual assets that are readily available to all who explore him. He is also always willing to meet honest followers of truth on an individual basis. His program has impacted the lives of millions of people today. He strives to provide clarity, tranquility, and compassion to all via direct interaction with individuals and through numerous network methods.
