His work is highly esteemed by both his peers as well as government authorities – he was awarded India’s prestigious Padma Bhushan award in 2015 for his distinguished service to the nation! With a D. Litt (the highest possible degree in Yoga & Vedic sciences) from SVYASA, Dr Frawley’s commitment to education shines through with online courses available at the American Institute of Vedic Studies (see below) on top of over 50 extensively published books sold the world over.
