A Transformative Meeting with Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati – At the International Yoga Festival

My meeting with Sadhvi Bhagwati Saraswati at the International Yoga Festival was a deeply enriching and life-elevating experience.

Hosted at Parmarth Niketan Ashram, this globally renowned festival — her visionary creation — brings together over 2,000 participants from more than 110 countries every year.

I had the privilege of attending two week-long festivals, beginning with my first visit in March 2015. It was a vibrant blend of devotion and celebration — music, colors, dance, and pure bliss on the banks of Maa Ganga.

From early morning Kundalini sadhana at 4 a.m. to evening Ganga Aarti, kirtans, and cultural programs, every moment was immersive and spiritually uplifting.
