GANGAJI'S OFFICIAL YOU TUBE CHANNEL. Gangaji is a teacher and author who travels the world speaking to people from all walks of life. Her core message is that true peace and lasting fulfillment are not only our birthright, they are the essential nature of our being.
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.

Consciously Opening to Emotional Pain

“There is no problem with pain. There is pain. If you are seeking something to avoid pain, that’s the suffering. That’s the search that must be called off.” It takes effort to avoid our emotional pain. We can try to avoid it, but ultimately the common strategies of withdrawing, protecting, and dissociating from feelings of hurt actually turn emotional pain into unnecessary suffering. This livel...

The Yoga of Naturally Being Yourself

Joy is your nature.” We can feel deeply conflicted when following our hearts doesn’t line up with what we or others think we should be doing. When we reach the proverbial and often frightening “fork in the road,” we have a choice to be true to ourselves. Gangaji begins this meeting speaking about the difference between being norma...
The Direct Experience of Certainty

“Universal, absolute awareness is who you are.” How is it possible to be “certain” of who we are? In the wake of an essential and undeniable experience of our true nature as pure consciousness, doubt usually arises-“Did that really happen? Is it real?”Then, we often look to our thoughts for the answer. In this powerful dialogue, Gangaji helps us see past the efforts of the rational, conditioned...

“This is an invitation to stop. To not create who you are. To simply be yourself with no idea or memory of who or what that is. Just to be. Then to see, how vast this just is."

Thoughts, feelings, sensations, or memories are not a problem unless that is how we d...

What a beautiful message from a beautifully awake being ❤thank you Gangaji
❤
Nice❤
The voice of an angel. Just what i needed ❤ Thank you for this teaching Gangaji 🙏
Appreciate so simple just be quite let go to be Beyond
I'm trying to understand Gangajis teachings. I've been listening but I feel like I'm blocking something
Beautiful ❤️
I love you Gangagi, but this is nonsense!
Gangaji is the best! I sense so much love in her
the concepts of spirituality and enlightenment are the biggest traps of all........when you get tired of chasing after them and volunteer to help others and focus on creating value in the world and stop whining about wanting to be "happy" you will find that your life has meaning and life itself is enough......
Very very powerful it was not easy for either of them but I so admire the willingness and courage of both . I thought for a second the gentleman lacked some discourse but the conversation got back on track ..I know struggling well as do many …I am very thankful for this life and the wheel it’s on …God bless all
I so t this. This man is indeed a part of each of us and I appreciate his courage, anger, resolve, clarity, challenge. He helped me learn more of myself and my own roles.
This is excellent for first Awakening and further realization. Thank you ❤
Neutrality leads to truth
I can't thank you enough
Cute
Just beautiful. ❤
She is definitely a GOD
She can't be a god. God is not subservient to anything or anyone, yet she is. God is not a finite creature, she is. God does not eat food, yet she does. The definition of God is has God Almighty informs us in His last Revelation to mankind, the Qur'an (translated meaning) 'Say, He is Allah the One, the Only. Allah the Eternal, Self Sufficient, the Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is nothing like unto Him' Surah al Ikhlaas.
I just realised that i failed a lot in the eyes of others to free them and me of there expectations😅
I started praying for a few years now that i will have the privilege to be in the presence of a mentor/guru......its my biggest desire ❤
I was awakened (from slumber) by this segment playing, it was lovely and immensly soothing. Someday, I'll learn to stop searching too.
Beautiful homecoming. Thankyou 🙏💕
There are no enemy? What about sexual abused and violence on children who get life Long damaged? What about psycotherapists who rape their clients and abused theyr power?
Her pointings are wonderful, thank you for this sharing ❤
probably one of the most important videos on youtube. i sincerely wish it is understood as profoundly as to what it points to: the end of ANY seeking, controlling, forcing, more knowledge, more work on self, more doing, more meditating (as an action), more gurus, more mind feeding, more having to be told how to live, what to do, where to find IT thank you Gangaji, beautiful
Loved it
Gangaji master, please help me to grow from long distance🙏
the worst trap is spiritual ego of course where there your idea doesn't match their 8 volume. essay about what enlightenment should be it has to be theirs even if the essence and recognition or experience is slightly. Different ex they had an obe experience. or kundalini awakening. or somahdi it is all the same .the seer is the same what is the one truth by knowledge. we can have that gives us complete. Knowledge of everything. so we don't need to be a certain. race or carry complete. Vedic library. in our head?
Hi beautiful Gangaji lol as You can not actually be identified. I went to Satsung with you many years ago in Santa Fe. I had an experience of the core of myself is peace. Four years ago I was going into surgery for the cancer. My daughter asked me if I was afraid as she was. I was not afraid and I told her. I was drawing on this inner knowing of peace and love. This still sustains me as the cancer has come back. I am getting treatment and seek the best help I can get for my physical condition and draw on my inner knowing of my core.
Waaaaaaoooooo !!! Thank you 🕊🐣
The worst is realizing how many decades of life were lost in a mental labyrinth and wishing to go back and have that space of mind then. That keeps the ego alive and in tremendous pain, resisting what is, but not easy to let go of.
Gangaji is from Clarksdale Mississippi? Aww hell little sister! What a town
Please can put the subtitles in Italian 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you Gangaji.
So thankful for this series. I can't explain ever how much. Thanks.
Beautiful 💖 thanks so much for the german subtitles. 🙏🏻
Yep
❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you
Music so beautiful
Dawn!! My friend Dawn died November '21, and I just astonishingly came across a young her in this video. Maybe not so astonishingly, she is helping to further the acceptance I experienced when talking to Gangaji online about three weeks ago, including the nature of the storytellers addiction to itself. Thanks D and G.. and H! "If you are willing to experience anything directly and immediately, whether good or bad, joyous or hateful, you will recognize that what you are running from does not exist, and what you are running toward is already here."
Your voice has me feeling a calmness I've never felt.. not sure why
i needed this profoundly thank you
I just figured out Gangaji reminds me of Doris Day.
Namasté. Immense gratitude. Merci.
I loved that he used the term "word salad;" I can completely see the mind that thinks it's word salad. He must have had a heck of a bad experience and therefore categorized as "ALL Satsang." I LOVED that he just went with it and more than that... that Gangaji still led him in. If one cannot challenge their external "problem" it will remain their stumbling block that they're angry at, that they fear, that they fight... etc. This was wonderful!
Traps of Satan and his minions. God gave you a mind, an intellect...and you turn it to this drivel?
Satan and his minions! Boy that's basic. Ok, here's a tip it's you're own confused mind and unclear heart grasping a belief system that hurts more than heals. Are you in any way shape or form at peace?
There is no god, there is no satan. These are nothing but human projections from not being willing to accept verifiable reality as it is - like children in fear. Have some courage and think and feel for yourself! Humanity will not survive if we continue to ignore climate desaster. Verifiable truth remains verifiable truth.
Gangaji is not opposed to intellect or mind. If you believe that she is, you misinterpreted her message
Gracias ♡
"I want you to know I am _not_ (this label of teacher)... but I also won't exclude it either." - The BEST.. the BEST!!
The word "Mercy" seems to stop me also......... It is so all inclusive, it seems like the final word .... Hence, all further thoughts and perceptions become ineffable ......... True Mercy is True Wisdom Love it !
