Sadvi Bhagwati - July 20, 2006

In 2000, I was traveling through Rishikesh and happened upon this beautiful ashram on the banks of the river Ganges known as Parmarth Niketan Ashram. As I was waiting in the reception area to meet Puyja Swami Chidanand Saraswataji, a great Guru known throughout India for his loving heart and beautiful nature, I overheard this American voice talking in fluent Hindi in the office next to where I was sitting. I was astounded as I heard this American woman converse easily with a steady flow of Indian Gurus, Yoga teachers, Indian staff and Indian visitors who filed in and out of her office. Finally, after about 1 hour, this beautiful young girl draped in a white sari with a red bindi on her forehead came out of the office and looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Hi I'm Sadhvi Bhagwati."
