Gangaji
Gangaji is an American spiritual teacher and author dedicated to helping us find and dwell in the simple presence at the heart of our being. After years of spiritual adventures with many different teachers and paths, she finally encountered one that helped her to ’stop’ (as she puts it), and recognize the love at the very root of her own awareness. Her message starts with a simple question, ‘who am I?’, that when asked from the right place within ourselves can show us a truth that transcends any one religion or spiritual path. She holds meetings called ’satsangs’ designed to help others find their way to this truth, through both group meditations and individual interactions with her. Watching the transformations that often take place on stage during her one-on-one encounters is truly awe-inspiring, and a powerful testament to her natural state of grace.

What Lisa Erickson Has Learned From Gangaji
- The spiritual search is not a search: Religion and spiritual practices often lead us outside ourselves, continuing the delusion that happiness is found through ‘belief’ in a doctrine, or by practicing certain techniques. But the truth that all these approaches are meant to guide us to is already present within us. We realize this truth, we don’t acquire it.
