The impact of climate change has spared no one - it’s been a sweltering summer all over the world. Things got equally heated on Linkedin this week when Acharya Prashant, the world’s most followed spiritual teacher, called out Elon Musk for his climate disinformation. We all know that there are many alarming facts about climate change that are routinely slipped under the radar. Things get even worse when influencers and their followers make misleading statements and take uninformed positions on the subject.

Acharya Prashant is one of the very few voices using his considerable standing and influence on social media to speak the Truth about climate change. He has been highlighting this critical issue for years, emphasising that overpopulation is the primary driver of climate change. The planet's resources are dwindling, and our ambition and thirst to consume is only increasing. The effects of climate change—melting glaciers, increasing droughts, and more—are becoming more severe. Climate change is not a random external phenomenon - it is the collective result of our actions. If we don't address this now, humanity itself could collapse.
With over 75 million subscribers on YouTube and other social media, Acharya Prashant is the world’s most followed spiritual leader. He also conducts the world’s largest online course on the Bhagavad Gita with 30,000 students and counting. He recently concluded the world’s most extensive online Gita-based spiritual examination for them.
Acharya Prashant is no stranger to success-he walked away from a life of sureshot comfort and prosperity in his mid-twenties. With IIT-IIM degrees secured, he was strutting the corridors of power as a Civil Services officer. The decision to leave would have been unthinkable for most, but for Acharya Prashant it was nothing short of a cakewalk. Some said he’d cause nothing more than a storm in a teacup. Two decades on, that storm continues to raze to dust countless peddlers of superstition and blind belief across the world.
Despite all his success, Acharya Prashant remains accessible and loves interacting with students, although his schedule seldom allows him time to. He has inspired millions of women to break free from environments of systematic exploitation. On International Women’s Day in 2022, Acharya Prashant was invited to AIIMS - one of India’s premier medical colleges - to deliver a talk. The faculty-in-charge remarked in her vote of thanks : “You understand women better than women do!”
It’s not just humans his compassion is directed at - Acharya Prashant teaches Vedanta for all species. In an era when meat-eating is gathering growing acceptance, Acharya Prashant has led a Vegan Revolution in India. In 2022, he was awarded the title of 'Most Influential Vegan of India' by PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
Acharya Prashant’s success is clear evidence that the challenges of modern life can only be navigated through the guidance of an authentic spiritual teacher. You can learn more about him on his official website. Mankind today is more prosperous than ever, and more unhappy than ever. Acharya Prashant has demonstrated that this is far from a foregone conclusion - it’s only a matter of choice. Your choice.
