spirituality,[1] and the director of the Center for the
Study of Dharma and Civilization.[2a]
Sri Acharyaji, formerly known as Sri Nayaka[2b] is also a follower

(the belief that all religions and teachings are essentially the
same.), which 'Hindus are frequent to embrace'.[6][7][8]
Sri Acharyaji, a European-American of Italian and Spanish descent,
was born in Brooklyn, New York City in August 1963.[9a][9b][10][11] At
14, he visited the first Hindu temple built in North America,
the Ganapati Temple in Flushing, Queens. It was at
this time that he decided to dedicate his life to Sanatana Dharma. He
lived the highly disciplined life of a celibate Hindu monk for
six years in several
ashrams throughout New York, as well as in the Bay Area, London and India.

INTERVIEWS AND PUBLISHING

Society, and has also been published by Arktos media Ltd[12][13] and

In December 2013 he was interviewed on Counter-Currents radio
by Robert Stark.[18] Topics discussed were, what exactly is
Dharma from a philosophical perspective? Is Dharma synonymous with
"Hinduism"? What does Dharma have to do with Europeans and
people of European descent? How did you become a follower of Sanatana
Dharma? What is the basic premise and purpose of The Dharma
Manifesto? What is the Dharma/Abrahamist divide? What is Conflict
Theory? What actually constitutes a "nation"? What is the
difference between natural diversity versus multiculturalism? What
would a Dharma Nation look like? The Hindu Caste System and why its a
disaster to allow the merchant caste, the Vaisya to become the ruling
class. How a Dharma-based foreign policy would be implemented, how a
Dharma-based economic system would be implemented and how it is
similar to distributism and opposed to usury, Environmentalism and
animal rights.

Cave of the Numinous by Craig Williams. |
The foreword to Cave of the Numinous by Yogacharya
Dharma Rakshaka (Craig Williams), Theion Publishing was written by Sri Dharma
Pravartaka Acharya.[26]
On June 27, 2017 Sri Acharyaji had a book published in the German language and edited by Lothar-Rüdiger Lütge (website: innenwelt.com, twitter), the book is titled, 'Einführung in denVedanta: Ausgewählte Vorträgevon Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya' (Introduction to Vedanta: Selected lectures by Sri Dharma
Pravartaka Acharya). Description...
"The Vedanta is
concerned with the philosophical and experiential pursuit of the
Supreme Absolute, which in Sanskrit is termed Brahman. Brahman
is the equivalent of what is generally called God or the Divine in
Western theological and philosophical thought. The goal of
Vedanta is to gain a personal and immediate knowledge of God!

Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya belongs to a living
Vedic tradition. He is a formal ordained priest in the Vaishnava
tradition of the Sanatana Dharma, and holds an undergraduate degree
in philosophy, as well as various titles and honors from various
American universities. In his homeland, the United States of
America, he is a widely known and recognized spiritual teacher."

I used to think that Pravartaka Acharya was on the level, however he incessantly shills for arch Zionist Donald Trump, and the fraudulent QAnonense psyop. The "universal Sanatana Dharma" that he preaches, sounds suspiciously similar to universal Noahide laws, (which Trump and every president prior are fully on board with), since Ronald Reagan. I highly suspect that Dr. Frank Morales is a Jesuit subversive. The surname 'Morales' is Sephardic (Jewish) in origin. More over he was trained at a Jesuit university and his full Hindu name, Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya sums to 113 in Gematria ~ Full Reduction,(the most pure cipher). Bava Kama 113a of the Talmud states; "Jews may use lies 'subterfuges' to circumvent Gentiles". This man is not to be trusted.
