Just Like You: An Autobiography

by Gangaji

(Paperback)

After a difficult childhood in the deep South and with her marriage failing, Toni Varner arrived in San Francisco looking for happiness. Joining the counterculture, she spent two decades on a spiritual search. Then, in 1990, she met Papaji, an awakened master in the lineage of Sri Ramana Maharshi. She had never wanted a guru, and she certainly hadn\'t wanted an Indian name. But when she met Papji, he stopped her in her tracks. In meeting him, she discovered the source of true fulfillment.

Since that time, Gangaji, a beloved spiritual teacher, has been holding public meetings and retreats across the United States and around the world. In her autobiography, written with Roslyn Moore, Gangaji tells her story. It is a candid, inspiring, and often humorous account. \"Just Like You\" includes dozens of pictures, a section of penetrating questions and answers, and an appendix with letters exchanged between Gangaji and her teacher.

Gangaji says she is just like you and me, that she would be happy to tell us if she weren\'t, but she is. By sharing the experience of her life she is offering herself as living proof that it is possible for anyone to stop telling their endless story of suffering, to wake up to what is, and to live life truly and freely.

You Are That

by Gangaji

(Hardcover)

The words themselves are charged with extraordinary aliveness and transformative power,\" Eckhart Tolle says about Gangaji\'s writing. \"This is because they have come out of a living realization of the truth, rather than the accumulated knowledge of the mind.\" The lives of thousands of people have been influenced through Gangaji\'s retreats and public events.

With You Are That!, Gangaji\'s classic teachings--first delivered more than a decade ago in two paperback volumes with limited distribution--are offered in a striking one-volume collector\'s edition. Updated to include a new introduction from Catherine Ingram, author of Passionate Presence, along with new photos and material from recent meetings, this exquisite gift edition offers exposure to a larger audience of spiritual seekers who can now realize the perennial insights of Gangaji. Eloquent and direct, Gangaji guides practitioners of all backgrounds through an inquiry into the self that often leads to unexpected glimpses at awakening. \"This is a moment of reckoning,\" she teaches. \"Do not take this moment casually or trivially. Recognize that for whatever reason, you are aware of the possibility of realizing the truth of yourself as limitless consciousness--you are that!\"

The Diamond in Your Pocket: Discovering Your True Radiance

by Gangaji

(Paperback)

The Diamond in Your Pocket, the first major book release from Gangaji, describes our ever-ending search to find fulfillment, which, paradoxically, already exists if we will only stop long enough to discover its true source. Now, this modern-day classic is available in two new formats: paperback and a multi-CD audio recording in the author\'s own voice. \"I have discovered that it is actually impossible to find happiness,\" teaches Gangaji. \"As long as you are seeking to find happiness somewhere, you are overlooking where happiness is ... in your true nature.\" With The Diamond in Your Pocket, the American-born teacher who has influenced the lives of thousands through her retreats and public events helps us to reconcile the observations and questions that arise along the spiritual path. Like a precious gem, The Diamond in Your Pocket cuts through what is false, and illuminates what is true--a brilliant series of contemplations and insights you will want to hold dear and return to again and again. Gangaji shows us thought-by-thought how to stop the endless activity of our minds, and experience the brilliance and radiance of who we really are in every present moment.
