On March 16, 2021, a series of mass shootings occurred in Atlanta, Georgia where eight people were killed, six of whom were Asian women. Hate crimes against Asian-Americans have risen dramatically since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Acharya Shunya expresses her views, discusses what is identity, and shares timeless Vedic wisdom to cope with difficult times. Shadow to Self stands in solidarity with AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) individuals. If you experience or witness Asian hate, please report it at stopaapihate.org.
