"Go to the Himalayas in your heart."

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati

Hollywood to the Himalayas

The Experience

In this course, Sadhviji guides students through a simple, yet powerful process of shifting from the Hollywood mindset to the Himalayan mindset, so they can fully experience the true peace, joy and freedom of who they really are.

Based on her Bestselling Book

Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati’s bestselling book, “Hollywood to the Himalayas – A Journey of Healing and Transformation”, tells her story of how she was transformed from being mired in pain, anger, self-doubt and addiction, in response to the traumas she experienced in childhood, to living a life of joy, peace, bliss and freedom, through initiation into the “Himalayan” way of thinking, a mindset rooted in the ancient wisdom of the sages and yogis of the Himalayas. This shift of her mindset helped her move out of what she calls the “Hollywood” way of thinking, which keeps us stuck and suffering from feelings of anger, grudges, unfulfilled expectations, lack and limitation in our life. The Hollywood mindset is when we identify ourself as our physical body – its size, shape, color, gender, relationships – and the body’s history, career, or bank account. The Himalayan way of thinking is understanding the truth of the Self. The truth that we have a body, but we are not our body. We are our Soul, spirit or consciousness, beyond the physical form. And at this level of spirit or consciousness, we are infinite, whole, full, abundant, and one with all. By identifying with our spirit-Self, we naturally become free from suffering and we can experience a whole new level of peace and joy in our life.
