God Winked: Tales and Lessons from my Spiritual Adventures

Sara Yoheved Rigler, author of the bestseller Holy Woman, made her first, year-long trip to India while still in college. She spent 15 years living in an ashram and practicing and teaching meditation. Then her spiritual journey took a hair-pin turn. She went to Jerusalem and started studying what she called, "the world's most hidden religion: Torah Judaism."

The tales collected in this book span the breadth of Sara Yoheved Rigler's colorful, adventure-filled life. The lessons derive from a dizzying variety of sources:

A Hassidic Rebbe in Jerusalem

A guru in Varanasi

A Kabbalist in rural Israel

Girls at a Calcutta orphanage

A clown

A Maharaj's palace in the foothills of the Himalayas

Her 90-year-old mother-in-law

A cat on a dangerous military mission

A totally paralyzed author of 8 books

The tales in this book will make you laugh — and cry. The lessons will transform your life.
