A Biography of Swami Sivananda Radha

Discover the fascinating life of Swami Sivananda Radha, a Western woman who travelled to India in the 1950s, became a swami and went on to establish the first ashram in Canada, which endures to this day.

Radha’s Story follows the journey of this remarkable woman – from her privileged childhood in Berlin and her career as a glamorous concert dancer, to her wartime experiences of love, loss and tragedy and her post-war immigration to Montreal. Her deep desire for meaning eventually leads her to the banks of the Ganges and onto the spiritual path that would transform her life.

Featuring rare footage from her time in India and candid interviews, this biographical portrait celebrates the unique life of spiritual seeker and great teacher.
