Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, PhD, is a spiritual leader, motivational speaker and social activist, based in Rishikesh, India. She is the Secretary-General of Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, President of Divine Shakti Foundation, Co-President of Religions for Peace, Director of the International Yoga Festival as well as author of the bestselling memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation.This conversation on the banks of river Ganga in Rishikesh, not only highlights the majestic power of the sacred river and the mystical call of India but also answers the question — why spirituality? On the one hand, there is AiR - Atman in Ravi, formerly, a business tycoon, and on the other, Pujya Sadhviji, who once lived in ‘Hollywood’. Seemingly, they both had it all. But the former gave up his retail empire and went on a spiritual quest for the truth while the latter left her cushioned ‘first-world-life’ in Los Angeles, came to India, felt the presence of God on the banks of Ma Ganga and knew that she was meant to be here.This in itself should make us sit up and reflect. Don’t we all want the best of degrees, money, name and fame? We assume that this holds the key to happiness. Yet as Sadhviji candidly admits, all this is not happiness. As AiR succinctly puts it, ‘Success is not happiness. Happiness is Success.’This beautiful podcast sets things in perspective. As AiR and Sadhviji share their unique spiritual journeys, it becomes all too clear that there is so much that we do not know.Rich with anecdotes, verses from the Gita, the wisdom of Sanatana Dharma, the teachings of Krishna, the ways of Rama, this talk will help one understand that Karma is not just about rewards and punishment, that Yoga is not about Asanas, that God does not live in a heaven in the sky. As Sadhviji puts it, we have to move from the Hollywood mindset, that focuses on the body and materialism to the Himalayan mindset, which focuses on our true self, as stated in the Upanishads: Neti Neti, Tat Twam Asi. Not this, Not this. That Thou Art. A most heartening, uplifting and a spiritually inspiring podcast. Not to be missed!
