How about some truly good news?
by Barbara Denempont

How about some truly good news? As we pass the halfway point in 2025, here is just some of the impact you are having in the lives of others through your support of the Gangaji Foundation.

GF Prison Program

“My meager vowels and consonants don’t do justice to what you’re doing for prisoners like me. The things you have shown me through this slim book has literally changed my life for good.” — R, Eastern Correctional Institution

In just 14 months, over 6,000 inmates have accessed Gangaji’s Freedom Inside digital course online, and more than 600 Spanish-speaking inmates have started the Spanish edition. That is in addition to our regular snail mailing that reaches over 700 course members with rich content. Read more good news about the program, plus read prisoners’ letters that transmit the true impact of the Prison Program here

Enriching Gangaji’s Media Library

Gangaji’s Media Library is deepening with new offerings like Finding Home, a six-part series about Gangaji’s life, The Sacred Fire of Death: Reflections on the Katha Upanishad, and Gangaji’s recent audio compilation Enlightenment. More projects are in the works as we work to offer a true oasis for self-inquiry online….

Leaving a Legacy of Love - The Archive Project

What a lucky, lucky life when the opportunity to do meaningful work for a true teacher comes along. What a blessing that the Gangaji Foundation opened its doors to me 10 years ago now. I was set up with a fabulous work station and given video training by the endlessly patient Tom Hoffman. I can attest to the impact that videos of Gangaji giving satsang can have on a willing student. The transmission comes through. —Forever grateful, Melissa B. Fischer

For years we have carefully recorded and archived Gangaji’s meetings to make them available worldwide. Melissa has been a pillar in those efforts, ensuring the very earliest of meetings have been preserved. Read her story. And this fall, we will share more with you about the extraordinary work being done with new technology to make the many thousands of hours of Gangaji’s recordings accessible to future generations. Together, we can all leave behind a legacy of love. If you live in Ashland, and are interested in volunteering for the archive project, write to us at info@gangaji.org.

Behind the Scenes with the Donor Collaborative

Donors continue to meet monthly with each other and recently hosted a “behind-the-scenes” event with Gangaji on the creation of Finding Home. You can watch the recording here. On September 13, they will host a free online gathering for donors and volunteers. Learn more about the Donor Collaborative here.

Supporting Each Other in Spiritual Inquiry

Maybe I would have to return to living a nightmare when I got back to New York, but in that moment, I could finally say “yes to myself.”— Russell, Scholarship Recipient

Gangaji continues to offer her support with a full schedule of retreats and online meetings while donors ensure scholarships are provided for every meeting she holds. After the May retreat, one recipient shared, “It was my first retreat experience, and it was so full and so deep. Words cannot express how I feel, what I experienced, who I am.” Read Russell’s full story here.

I invite you to learn more about the work of the Gangaji Foundation, how you can participate, and how you can serve this possibility of peace through self-realization.

It is a wonderful adventure!

In peace, Barbara

“This is your resting place, your watering hole. Find what supports you, what includes you, and drink it in. Be nourished. Be enlivened. And when you feel thirsty again, drink some more.” —Gangaji

From a Prison program volunteer

"I have found writing these letters to a prisoner to be a most intimate and deepening act of love towards myself, as well as a way of appreciating and acknowledging our shared human beingness."
