Acharya Shunya and Chef Sanjai have shared a life of teaching, cooking, and spiritual service together for more than twenty-five years. As husband and wife, they have dedicated the last two decades to bringing the wisdom of Ayurveda, yoga, and the Vedic tradition to students around the world.

Together, they co-created Vedika Global, a nonprofit organization devoted to preserving and sharing the living traditions of Ayurveda and Vedic wisdom. Through retreats, courses, and teachings offered internationally and online, they guide students in rediscovering how ancient knowledge can support health, balance, and inner clarity in modern life.

Acharya Shunya is a teacher of Vedic wisdom and Ayurveda, raised in a family lineage of spiritual teachers and healers in Ayodhya, India. She is the author of Ayurveda Lifestyle Wisdom, a widely respected guide to bringing Ayurvedic principles into everyday living. Her teachings weave together Ayurveda, yoga, and Advaita Vedanta, helping students understand how digestion, daily rhythm, breath, and awareness contribute to true well-being.

Chef Sanjai brings these teachings into the kitchen. Through decades of study and practice, he has translated classical Ayurvedic knowledge into practical cooking methods that support digestion, vitality, and seasonal balance. Over the years, he has taught thousands of students how to prepare nourishing Ayurvedic meals and has developed and shared more than two thousand recipes inspired by traditional household kitchens and classical teachings.

Together, Acharya Shunya and Chef Sanjai offer a rare integration of wisdom and practice. In their retreats and workshops, philosophy and food meet naturally. Students learn not only the principles of Ayurveda, but how to live them through the rhythms of daily life, the preparation of meals, and the cultivation of awareness.
