David Frawley (born September 21, 1950), also known as Vamadeva Shastri is an American writer, astrologer, teacher (acharya) and a proponent of Hindutva.

He has written numerous books on topics spanning the Vedas, Hinduism, Yoga, Ayurveda and Vedic astrology.[1] His works have been popular among the general public. In 2015 he was honored by the Government of India with the Padma Bhushan, the third-highest civilian award in India.[2]

A prominent ideologue of the Hindutva movement, he has also been accused of practicing historical revisionism.[3][4]
