About this video

Prince Ea interviews Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati (Sabi) about her book ‘Hollywood to the Himalayas,’ which chronicles her spiritual journey from Stanford graduate to resident of Rishikesh, India. Sadhvi shares her transformation from struggling with addiction and trauma to discovering spiritual awakening, explaining meditation practices like neti neti (not this, not this) and the three paths of yoga outlined in the Bhagavad Gita. She emphasizes that spiritual practice should not be postponed and that true service flows naturally from spiritual understanding, not from obligation.

Key takeaways

• Sadhvi describes the neti neti meditation practice of systematically recognizing what you are not (thoughts, emotions, body parts) to arrive at the awareness of yourself as consciousness or soul
• The three yogic paths to union with the divine are jnana yoga (wisdom/self-inquiry), bhakti yoga (devotional love), and karma yoga (conscious action aligned with oneness)
• Sadhvi argues that seeking happiness through external achievements like money and career is like looking for something outside when you lost it inside—true fulfillment comes from spiritual connection first, which then informs meaningful action
