Rabbi Rami talks to Sadhvi Bhagawati about the beginnings of her spiritual path, the philosophy of Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh where she lives, and the International Yoga Festival, which is sponsored this year by Spirituality & Health.

Sadhviji is President of the Divine Shakti Foundation and Secretary-General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance. She has also been a featured speaker at the United Nations, Parliament of World Religions and other international conferences and summits. Her talks blend the knowledge and logic of the West with the insights, spirituality and wisdom of the East, and she is renowned as a spiritual bridge between the two cultures. At Parmarth Niketan, Rishikesh, where she lives most of the year, she teaches meditation, gives spiritual discourses, provides counseling and oversees charitable and humanitarian projects and activities, including directing the annual International Yoga Festival. www.sadhviji.org www.internationalyogafestival.org
