Gora Devi 
Fire of Transformation 
My life with Babaji

Fire of Transformation – a story of love between a woman and the Divine, between soul and spirit, between earth and sky, unique and precious. this is a deeply moving and personal account of challenge and revelation, of joy, struggle and surrender, of the outer and inner journeying towards self-discovery.
Valeria Bonnazola (Gora Devi) was a young student in Milan when an inner prompting called her to India in a search for love, the love for God. There she encountered the legendary Hairakhan Babaji – referred to by Yogananda in his book, ‘Autobiography of a Yogi’ – the revolutionary teacher and acclaimed Mahavatar who transformed her life completely.
