"Go to the Nepali-speaking people," God said. Thino responded and went to West Sikkim at the foothills of the magnificent Himalaya Mountains, where the hardy people inhabit the majestic mountains that have lain unreached for years from the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
A Journey of Healing and Transformation An enlightening memoir of a reluctant spiritual seeker who finds much more than she bargained for when she travels to India. Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, from Hollywood, California, had a privileged upbringing that hid some dark secrets. She grappled with an eating disorder and trauma from her early childhood for years. But, as a Stanford grad getting her PhD in Psychology, she felt she was successfully navigating adulthood. After getting married, when she agreed to travel to India to appease her husband, little did Sadhviji know a journey of healing and awakening awaited her. She had everything the material world could offer. Soon, she would give it all up to follow the divine path. Hollywood to the Himalayas describes Sadhviji’s odyssey towards divine enlightenment and inspiration through her extraordinary connection with her guru and renewed confidence in the pleasure and joy that life can bring. Now one of the preeminent female spiritual teachers in the world, Sadhviji recounts her journey with wit, honesty, and clarity. Along the way, she offers teachings to help us all step onto our own path of awakening and discover the truth of who we really are—embodiments of the Divine. Americanborn Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, PhD, moved to India in 1996. A graduate of Stanford University, she was ordained by Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati, president of one of the largest interfaith institutions in India, into the tradition of sanyas and lives at the Parmarth Niketan ashram in Rishikesh, where she leads a variety of humanitarian projects, teaches meditation, gives spiritual discourses, and counsels individuals and families.

Ke Garne?
Author: Lani Kay Ackerman, MD, FAAFP
Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1491842210
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Ke Garne, a common Nepali phrase which literally means, "What to do?" embodies the thinking of millions of people living in the Himalayas steeped in the belief that their karma has destined them to poverty and hopelessness. In 1991 an enthusiastic young couple, a medical doctor and an ecologist, left their jobs and sold everything to take the good news of Christ to a remote area of the Himalayas closed to traditional missions. God led them to establish and lead an organization, Health Environmental and Learning Program (H.E.L.P.), which has combined the principles of the Bible and wholistic sustainable development, following the model of Jesus's ministry. "Ke garne is the fruit from decades of boots-on-the-ground, sacrificial devotion ...Want to be guided and inspired by exemplary, real-life Christian community development? It is here in your hands." Nicholas Comninellis, MD MPH DIM and PH, Pres. & CEO, Institute for International Medicine "The Ackermans are the proof that the Holy Spirit still anoints and empowers those He chooses to spread Christ's Gospel in the most effective ways in the places most needed. If allowed, God has no limits." Lamar McNew, MD, Retired Professor, Texas A and M College of Medicine, Chairman of H.E.L.P. board. "As I read these pages and re-heard their story, precious memories of trusting the Lord for direction and provisions flooded my soul. Meet this special family, and be challenged by their obedience to the Great Commission." Dr. Don Higginbotham, Retired Pastor "This is a book that 21st Century Christians must read! In an age of "toxic charity" and misdirected mission efforts, this is a book that issues a call for mission work that starts on the inside and moves outward. I've personally seen this ministry in action in Nepal, and without a doubt, the church needs to embrace this model!" Reverend Jerry House, Pastor
