A true Guru doesn’t comfort the ego—they burn it. In this episode, Acharya Shunya contrasts the rise of yoga instructors with the sacred fire of the Guru tradition. Through lineage stories, sacred verses, and fierce love for truth, she invites us to let yoga burn again.

In this moving episode, Acharya Shunya speaks with Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati about her new book Come Home to Yourself — a heartfelt guide for anyone seeking inner peace and spiritual clarity.

Sadhviji was a Stanford grad living a typical American life in California — until a trip to India and a dip in the Ganges changed everything. For the past 35+ years, she’s lived as a renunciate by the Ganga, immersed in yoga, service, and awakening.

This conversation is an invitation to question what we’re chasing — and come home to who we really are.

In this episode, Vedic Scholar and author of best selling book Sovereign Self clarifies how in each one of us we have a dimension that lives inside space and time constructs and occupies a story and a dimension that is beyond space and time and any kind of story. If we learn to connect more with the latter than the former,  we can have a human story but not be bound by it or suffer because of it; we can also plan for the story and help it move forward into greater ease and light, by pulling in greater spiritual resources from the universe.
