Vedaji is a life-long practicing yogi, community builder, and teacher to thousands of souls throughout the world. With a background in the ancient lineages of Vedanta and Bhakti yoga, he was raised in a monastery in eastern India as a monk which he ultimately acted as the head of for many years. Eventually feeling the call to fulfill his dharma, he moved to the United States approximately fifteen years ago to help raise consciousness in the western world.
Based in Atlanta, Vedaji travels the world throughout the year to lead programs, retreats, and group tours. As founder of the non-profits Food4Lives and Mindful Seva Institute, his dharma is to raise global consciousness, to assist spiritual seekers through the process of Self-realization, to eliminate the mental health crisis, and to create lasting spiritual communities (sanghas) throughout the world. Through his signature Chitta Cleanse Technique, Vedaji assists those looking to overcome harmful patterns and traumas to ultimately find their unique dharma.
Vedaji is excited to travel to New York to share his wisdom, realizations, and heart with the Dharmakaya community. He will lead most sessions at the retreat, including breathwork, kirtan, the fire ceremony, and more.
