Description
Hollywood to the Himalayas is the enlightening memoir of a reluctant spiritual seeker who finds much more than she bargained for when she travels to India.
As a Stanford graduate in the midst of getting a PhD in psychology, Sadhvi Saraswati was comfortable with her life. Despite years of grappling with an eating disorder and trauma from her early childhood, she felt as if she was successfully navigating her way through early adulthood. When she agreed to travel to India to appease her husbandβand because she loved the foodβSadhvi would have never imagined that she would be embarking on a journey of healing and awakening.
Hollywood to the Himalayas describes Sadhviβs odyssey towards divine enlightenment and inspiration through her extraordinary connection with her guru and renewed confidence in the pleasure and joy that life can bring. Now one of the preeminent female spiritual teachers in the world, Sadhvi recounts her journey with wit, honesty, and clarity and, along the way, offers teachings to help us all step onto our own path of awakening and discover the truth of who we really areβembodiments of the Divine.
βSadhviji models for us, at the deepest level, that in the true teaching of the spiritual traditions, healing and grace are always possible.β βPrince Ea, in the foreword to Hollywood to the Himalayas
βVivid and poeticβ¦her journey is a river of love, compelling in its authenticity and unflinching honesty. β¦a must for anyone who is interested in exploring different paths to fulfilment and to the Creator.β βJane Goodall
βSadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati is a great teacher of spirituality and consciousness. Her inspiring wisdom illuminates the path to healing, happiness, and inner peace.β βDeepak Chopra
βFor so many of us, the road to the Divine sometimes begins with deep trauma. And, then Grace is bestowed upon us and we blossom in the holiness of love. Hollywood to the Himalayas is filled with wisdom and truth about the powerful revelations that unfold on the path to a deeper relationship to the divine. This is a beautiful book.β βRev. Iyanla Vanzant, executive producer, Iyanla, Fix My Life
