COURSE

Discover Lasting Fulfillment

In this 10-day course, Gangaji offers you the simple yet radical invitation to stop looking outside yourself for lasting fulfillment or happiness, and simply be willing, just in this moment, to see what is already here. Gangaji offers you the support and the inspiration to finally accept the invitation of your soul’s deepest longing for freedom. Among other topics she will speak about Self-Inquiry, giving up the burden of unnecessary suffering, the role of spiritual practice, and the potential for all of us “as ordinary human beings, living ordinary lives, to stand up extraordinarily.” Music throughout the course is by Kirtana.

Gangaji

Ashland, OR, USA

Gangaji, born Toni Roberson, grew up in Mississippi. Like many of her contemporaries, she searched for fulfillment through relationships, career, motherhood, subculture experiences, political activism, and spiritual practice. She had never wanted a guru, had not planned to go to India, and certainly had never wanted an Indian name. Yet, it was on the banks of the Ganges River that her search ended–– when, in 1990, she met her teacher, Sri H.W.L. Poonja, also known as Papaji. Today Gangaji travels the world meeting with people from all walks of life. She responds to the deepest spiritual questions of our time and shares her essential realization in full support of the discovery of lasting peace and fulfillment.

Lesson 1

Where Have You Looked For Fulfillment?

Where have you looked for fulfillment? In relationships, spirituality, health, self-image? Have you found what matters most? At the very heart of Gangaji’s message is the simple yet radical invitation to stop looking outside yourself for lasting fulfillment or happiness, and simply be willing, just in this moment, to see what is already here. Beyond any belief about yourself, closer than any joy or sorrow, more immediate than either sickness or health, is the endlessly fulfilling truth of who you are.

Lesson 2

Call Off The Search For What Is Always Here

Is there a secret to discovering the truth of yourself, here and now and forevermore? In this session Gangaji will share her experience of her teacher’s astonishingly simple instruction that revealed the truth of lasting fulfillment. Discover for yourself what is always here, no matter what comes and goes.

Lesson 3

What Is Self-Inquiry?

The invitation to Self-Inquiry is at the very core of Gangaji’s teachings. As human beings we have the capacity to self-reflect, to put aside assumptions and taste reality directly. But Self-Inquiry, Gangaji reminds us, is not about fixing ourselves. It is not about personal processing. It is not about getting anything. It involves no thought. “Fix what needs fixing,” she says, “but question what is deeper than that. Who are you? What do you really want?”

Lesson 4

Lay Down Your Burden Of Suffering

One of the biggest hurdles to happiness, to enlightenment, to freedom, to living a fulfilled life, is our attachment to our suffering. In this session Gangaji will share her own recognition of loyalty to a story of suffering before she met Papaji, and the moment of truth that revealed it. When you overhear the narrative you are telling yourself, then you can lay down your burden of suffering, and directly experience who you are.

Lesson 5

The Mind’s Surrender To Silence

In this session Gangaji will expose the workings of our minds, the mental traps that keep us cycling in suffering, and how we can break the trance that keeps us identifying our thoughts as "reality." She points with laser clarity to what is before, after, and between all thought, to where the mind has no defense against the silent simplicity of its source.

Lesson 6

Beyond Practice

Ironically, a spiritual practice can also become the obstacle to self-realization. In this session Gangaji will address the topic of meditation and practice, when they are useful and when they are a hindrance. Her invitation is to stop every effort toward what you think will give you truth and peace so that truth and peace can naturally reveal themselves in your heart.

Lesson 7

Telling The Deeper Truth: Facing Worthlessness

For anyone on the spiritual path, often the final hurdle to true, lasting fulfillment is to face what we think is the truth of who we are - worthless, no good, unlovable, and possibly irredeemable. In this session, Gangaji will expose how we perpetuate worthlessness in our daily lives and how we can naturally and effortlessly meet the absolute worst in us. Only in that meeting can we see our true face — love itself.

Lesson 8

What Does My Life Stand For?

In this session Gangaji will invite us, as spiritual seekers, to ruthlessly examine an important question, “What does my life stand for?” What is the deepest call of my life? She speaks to the potential for all of us “as ordinary human beings, living ordinary lives, to stand up extraordinarily.”

Lesson 9

Trusting Yourself

It is not unusual to want to place our trust in something outside ourselves – in other people, in traditions, or in certain institutions. Yet in doing so we can also find ourselves disillusioned, sometimes in very painful ways. What would it mean to really trust yourself instead? Or perhaps even more importantly, to trust life? In this session Gangaji will explore these questions in depth, inviting each of us into the direct discovery of what is absolutely trustworthy.

Lesson 10

Finally, It’s All About Love

What is ultimately trustworthy is love itself. Love is your universal, individual, and collective Soul. Love is God. Love is Truth. Love is Beauty. Love is Peace. Love is Self. Love is who you are. The invitation is to surrender everything to that, which means being willing to let the whole world break your heart.

The content is very good. I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to select an answer for each days question- it wouldn't register. Also, that there's no recent interaction with the instructor's assistant.

At first insightful. Halfway through it became depressing. It's the way she puts things. Actually depressing. I will go to Susitha now to learn about love.

That was great, thank you. Particularly helpful to me is the teaching about recognizing who you are. If it comes and goes, that's not you, for example a state (happiness, sadness, anxiety). You are that which is always there. Notice that and you have found yourself. once you do, you will realize that it can be so easy. You (it) is always here. Just distinguish it. Thank you!
