about Shunyam Productions
Born in 1965, in the city of Belo Horizonte in Brazil, Shunyam was always questioning and exploring as a child. Affected by the cultural and financial limitations of his surroundings, he came to live in America in 1985 where he took several odd jobs in order to help the family back home; such as dish-washing, cleaning, cooking, waiting on tables, etc…
By noticing the continuous growth of the Brazilian community in the area, he started promoting events among them, bringing to the local scene the "Hot Brazilian Sunday Nights" and great singers such as Milton Nascimento, Caetano Veloso, Djavan and many others. He also promoted tours and in 1994 took hundreds of people to the World Soccer Cup final (Brazil x Italy) in Pasadena, California.
Aside from his personal activities, he was always contemplating about life which took a turn inwards when he started to read from and about the Mystic Osho. As he discovered his messages, Osho passed away and left a thirst for the presence of an alive Master in his life. This thirst took him to Egypt, India, Costa Rica, Mexico and Bulgaria; where an encounter completely changed his direction in life.
Single and depressed as he recalls, he went to Bulgaria to visit Veena, after exchanging some deep reflections about their lives. Their meeting was the turning point for both of them, since they realized their deep connection.
Eventually Veena came to America, and they have two beautiful daughters: Leela and Svetly, whom they homeschool.
Exploring their paths together, brought them to the lotus feet of the humanitarian and spiritual leader AMMA; who is their guiding light, and a source of inspiration for love, selfless service and creativity. Eventually they became Her devotees and have helped organize Her local activities and annual tour in the area.
Shunyam speaks 3 languages (Portuguese, Spanish and English), and is also a writer and a poet. He is about to publish his first book of poems entitled "Divine calling". His poems reflect a deep longing to meet the Divine.
Together, they’ve established the World & I Language Institute, which has taught foreign languages and ESL to thousands of students; and Shunyam Productions, promoting concerts, lectures and workshops.
Their goal is to bring people together in an atmosphere of surrender and help open the door, even if for a moment, for the joy of love to flow into their hearts.
