Sadhvi's honest, courageous, and powerful story radiate healing energy palpable to the heart and mind, borne of her authenticity and spiritual transformation."--Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder and Spiritual Director, Agape International Spiritual Center; author of Life Visioning and Spiritual Liberation Publisher Marketing: 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 grad in the midst of getting her PhD in Psychology, Sadhvi Sarawati 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 husband--and because she loved the food--Sadhvi would have never imagined that she would be embarking on a journey of healing and awakening. Hollywood to the Himalayas describes Sadhvi's 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 are--embodiments of the Divine. "Sadhviji models for us, at the deepest level, that in the true teaching of the spiritual traditions, healing and grace are always possible." -- Prince Ea, in the foreword to Hollywood to the Himalayas "Vivid and poetic...her journey is a river of love, compelling in its authenticity and unflinching honesty. ...a must for anyone who is interested in exploring different paths to fulfilment and to the Creator." -- Jane Goodall "Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati is a great teacher of spirituality and consciousness. Her inspiring wisdom illuminates the path to healing, happiness, and inner peace." -- Deepak Chopra "For 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." -- Rev. Iyanla Vanzant, executive producer, Iyanla, Fix My Life
