There's a reason that the Vedas, a 5,000-year-old collection of celebrated verses from ancient India, have given rise to several world religions and influenced Western thinkers from Emerson to Ram Dass--they provide us with a uniquely accessible and effective path to liberation and sovereignty. With Sovereign Self, Acharya Shunya shares a groundbreaking guide to the wisdom of these classic texts so that each of us may emancipate ourselves from restrictive belief systems and discover our true nature--that which is always whole, joyful, and free.

Throughout Sovereign Self, Shunya adeptly guides us through the core concepts and practices of the Vedas, demystifying and contextualizing sacred concepts for modern life. In this masterful guide, you'll explore: - Beginning the journey to radical self-acceptance--recognize your innate worth and wholeness- How we create our own prisons of shame, compulsion, blame, and obsession--and how you can begin to break free
- Learning to embody personal autonomy in your life and relationships
