About

Acharya das is an internationally renowned teacher of Vedic and yoga wisdom philosophy, mindfulness, meditation and kirtan, who has been teaching yoga wisdom to appreciative audiences worldwide for over 40 years.

He also runs a highly successful Mindfulness & Meditation program for prisoners at the maximum-security prison, Paremoremo, and works with Family Action groups who support victims of abuse.

Acharya das shares an uncommonly deep understanding of yoga philosophy and practice which he conveys clearly and simply, in a way we can all relate to & apply in our everyday lives.

What is Kirtan Meditation?

Kirtan is the ancient practice of hearing and repeating transcendental sounds or mantras. By meditating on the beautiful transcendental sounds of the mantras we can free the mind & heart of the stress and anxieties of daily life and begin to taste the inner happiness that we are always searching for. It is simple to practice, you can just close your eyes and listen or join in if you wish.

No previous experience is necessary.

All Welcome!
