In 1955, Sylvia Hellman embarked on a pilgrimage to India that would transform her life and ultimately revolutionize the interpretation of yoga in the West. With only six months to study with her guru, Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh, she must leave everything behind so that she can become Radha.
From the doubts, discomforts and fears of travelling alone in India, to the profound and often mystical events of life at the Sivananda Ashram, Radha: Diary of a Woman's Search is a rare invitation onto the path of a spiritual aspirant.
Her engaging pilgrimage will take you inside the heart and mind of one of the foremost yoginis of our times. A remarkable story from an extraordinary woman.
