About the Speaker
David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri) is an American Vedic teacher and
author of more than thirty-five books on Vedic subjects published in more
than twenty languages worldwide, including extensively in India. His fields
of expertise include Yoga, Ayurveda, Vedanta, Vedic astrology and the
Vedic texts. He is the director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies
(www.vedanet.com), which is affiliated with several Vedic organizations
worldwide. He has a D.Litt from S-VYASA and a Padma Bhushan (2015)
award from the Government of India. He is one of the founding advisors of
the National Ayurvedic Medical Association in the United States, which has
given him a lifetime achievement award in Ayurveda.
The goal of his work is to promote the cause of “Vedic Education,” which
recommends the teaching of Yoga, meditation and Ayurveda in schools,
ashrams and temples. It includes developing a more accurate post-colonial
and post-Marxist view of the history of India, particularly relative to the
Vedic period, which is also aware of the spiritual dimensions of the Vedas
through such great Vedic teachers in modern India as Sri Aurobindo,
Ganapati Muni and Sri Sivananda Murty.
