Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 David Frawley David Frawley is one of the few westerners ever to be recognized in India as a Vedacharya or teacher of the ancient wisdom. In 1991, he was named Vamadeva Shastri, after the great Rishi Vamadeva. He has received many awards and honours for his work from all over India. In 1995 he was given the title of Pandit along with the Brahmachari Vishwanathji award in Mumbai for his knowledge of the Vedic teaching. Dr. Frawley has worked with several different aspects of Vedic knowledge and has written over twenty books and many articles over the last twenty-five years. He is a teacher and practitioner of Ayurvedic medicine and of Vedic astrology (Jyotish) and has done pioneering work on both these subjects. In September 2000 he was selected as one of the twenty-five most influential yoga teachers in America by the Yoga Journal magazine. In India, his translations and interpretations of the ancient Vedic teachings have been acclaimed by both spiritual and scholarly circle. Dr. Frawley presents Vedic knowledge to the Western world in a lucid manner recognized by the tradition itself. He has worked extensively - teaching, writing, lecturing, conducting research and helping establish schools and associations in related Vedic fields. He has studied and traveled widely, gathering knowledge, working with various teachers and groups in a non-sectarian manner. In India, he is recognized not only as a Vedacharya (Vedic teacher), but also as a Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor), Jyotishi (Vedic astrologer), Puranic (Vedic historian) and yogi, a rare feat for an American born in Wisconsin.
