Dharma and Sacred Purpose

I met Sadhvi Saraswati at Mindvalley in Amsterdam this summer and I knew I had to bring her on the podcast. She grew up in Hollywood, went to Stanford, was in the middle of a PhD program and then one moment on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh changed everything. She never went back.

Now she is the co-founder of the Ganga Aarti, the largest daily spiritual ritual on the sacred Ganges River, she speaks at the UN about women's rights and spirituality, and she is one of the most grounded and luminous teachers I have ever sat with.

This conversation went everywhere. From what Sanatana Dharma actually is and why it is for all of us, to cultural appropriation, to the very real and very personal question of how do we keep our hearts open to sacred love in a world that feels so hard to love in right now.

In this episode we explore:

🌺 Sadhvi's journey from Hollywood to the Himalayas and the moment on the Ganga that changed her life

✨ What Sanatana Dharma actually is and why it belongs to everyone

🙏🏽 How to engage with Indian spiritual traditions without cultural appropriation

💫 Why the goddess tradition honors every expression of the feminine from Lakshmi to Kali

🌹 The real non-negotiables when calling in a spiritually aligned partner

🔥 Why awakened women often feel unseen in love and what to do about it

💎 How to recognize spirituality in a partner even when it looks nothing like yours

If you have ever felt caught between the spiritual path and the love story, this episode is going to meet you exactly where you are.
