- Gangaji - 'The End Of The Story' - Interview by Iain McNay
Gangaji shares a simple message: 'This is an invitation to shift your allegiance from the activities of your mind to the eternal presence of your being'. Born in Texas in 1942, Gangaji grew up in Mississippi. After graduating from the University of Mississippi in 1964, she married and had a daughter. In 1972, she moved to San Francisco where she began exploring deeper levels of her being. She took Bodhisattva vows, practiced Zen and Vipassana meditation, helped run a Tibetan Buddhist Meditation Center, and had a career as an acupuncturist in the San Francisco Bay area. Despite her successes, Gangaji continued to experience a deep and persistent longing for fulfilment. She pursued many paths to change her life including relationship, motherhood, political activism, career, and spiritual practice, but even the greatest of her successes ultimately came up short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for true help. In 1990, the answer to her prayer came unexpectedly, taking her to India and to the meeting that would change everything. There on the banks of the river Ganga, she met Sri H.W.L. Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened the floodgates of self-recognition. In this meeting, Gangaji's personal story of suffering ended and the promise of a true life began to flower and unfold. Today, Gangaji travels the world speaking to seekers from all walks of life. A teacher and author, she shares her direct experience of the essential message she received from Papaji and offers it to all who want to discover true and lasting fulfilment. Through her life and work, she powerfully articulates how it is really possible to discover the truth of who you are and to be true to that discovery.

Thank you for sharing this info. & uploading it!!! It sounds very special and loving! Thank you again!!
I havnt felt peace at this level in mabye 4 or 5 years. Very profound. Its amazing how certain people act as...catalysts? mabye is the word im looking for? that allow me to express peace at a whole new level.
People gain a sort of false (they think it is real of course) stability, from "I am cozy and warm inside 'my' body". Actionless, limitless awareness-light is our true open being and it takes a real ready-ness to open to that indeed Gangaji.
Thought isn't really the right word, it's much deeper than "thought". It's ideas within ideas that we have and without culling the root- I am inside my body- then thoughts cannot unravel. I used to think years ago that I'm not thinking and have a quiet mind, why then aren't I awake? Because I knew deep down I hadn't "got there".
How does one open? Is this the same as surrender, if so, surrender to....
whatever the various ji's may be doing, we are collectively truly screwed if this is the most profound wonderment.
