What would it be like to have complete sovereignty within your own life? To feel confidently aligned with the power of your true Self? The beloved texts at the heart of yoga offer us timeless pathways to this experience, yet without years of formal study, accessing the depths of their wisdom can seem overwhelming. In Sovereign Self, Acharya Shunya demystifies yoga's most influential texts: the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita, making their profound teachings both accessible and immediately practical for modern seekers. The first female lineage holder in a 2,000-year-old line of Vedic spiritual teachers and the first to teach in the West, Shunya has a personal and authentic understanding of these classic scriptures. With Sovereign Self, she shares a comprehensive guide to their essential teachings, expertly adapting their wisdom and spiritual practices for Western students. Filled with hidden insights and engaging guidance, Sovereign Self will help you align with your greater Self - the Self that is always present, all-powerful, ever-joyful, and completely sovereign.

Hidden within every woman is a wealth of emotional resilience, great divine strength for physical and sexual self-protection, righteous fierceness to overcome obstacles, and shocking abilities to create and enjoy abundance. Yet after centuries of living in patriarchal societies, many women don't realize how powerful they are - or how they've been enculturated to keep their true natures hidden. In Roar Like a Goddess, trailblazing Vedic spiritual teacher Acharya Shunya empowers women to step into their divine immensity and lead powerful, abundant, and wise lives through a revolutionary revisioning of ancient India's primary goddess archetypes: Durga teaches women how to access their full power, Lakshmi boldly leads the way to abundance, and Saraswati illuminates the gifts of freedom. For each goddess, Shunya shares ancient myths, original insights, and empowering practices - many of which supported her own journey. Once trapped within the bondage of limiting beliefs and patriarchal relationships, Shunya credits the practices in this book for the life of sovereignty she has today. Throughout Roar Like a Goddess, Shunya honors her progressive Vedic roots while breaking the shackles of tradition to bring modern-day women a decolonized spirituality. "It is time for all women to come out of the closet and roar with all their spiritual power," she writes, "because that is our true sound."
