Unleashing the power of Eastern spirituality for Western minds: An immersive evening with Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati in New York
Here is a rare chance for you to listen to the renowned spiritual leader from India. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati will share the specific tools and keys to help you master the Himalayan mindset and unlock the peaks of consciousness within.
Filmmaker Neha Lohia will present the event ‘Hollywood to The Himalayas’ with Sadhviji on May 4 evening at Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in New York City.
“Be in the marketplace, but not of it! As a woman, I endeavor to consciously bring a bit of heart-centered Himalayan Consciousness into all my work. It is a blessing to create this event with Sadhvi Ji here in NYC,” said Neha Lohia.
Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati is originally from Hollywood, California. For the last 26 years, she has lived at the Parmarth Niketan ashram in Rishikesh. She is dedicated to a life of spiritual service, wisdom teaching, sacred action, and deep spiritual practice. She is the author of the #1 bestselling memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation, which details her unconventional life journey from the glamour and glitz of the West to the spiritual depths of the East.
She studied at Stanford University and, received a Ph.D. in psychology. In the summer of 1996, her life unexpectedly changed forever when she reluctantly went on a trip to India with her then-husband. She gave up everything she knew and got ordained into the monastic tradition of sanyas by one of India’s most revered spiritual masters.
Sadhviji is not only a spiritual leader and, motivational speaker, she is also a leader in the fields of environmental protection, women’s empowerment, interfaith harmony and dialogue, working with the United Nations, World Bank, Religions for Peace, and many other organizations worldwide.
In these times, which can often feel overwhelming and chaotic, Sadhviji demonstrates the rare ability to translate complex spiritual concepts into an accessible and relatable language. She draws on her own life experiences and calls forth wisdom from the Hindu scriptures to offer practical guidance grounded in love, compassion, and service. Through her work and teachings, she emphasizes the potential of the human spirit to transcend even the most difficult of life circumstances to create a more just, peaceful, and loving world, and live in a more meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling way.
The event presenter Neha Lohia is a filmmaker, entrepreneur, and author who has worked in the advertising, Bollywood, and Hollywood industries. The New Yorker’s latest short film ‘Yashodhara The Buddha’s Wife’ premiered at the Queens World Film Festival and is an official selection for Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival in India.
