What does it take to make a commitment to the Divine?
In 1967, Margaret White, a housewife from the suburbs of Philadelphia, met Swami Sivananda Radha for the first time, and something awakened within her. What follows is a transformative journey that takes her from Philadephia to the Yasodhara Ashram in British Columbia, and from housewife to sanyasi.
In Durga’s Embrace: A Disciple’s Diary reveals the dynamic relationship between guru and disciple through the story of two extraordinary women: Swami Radha and Swami Durgananda.
