“There is a certain point when the desire to serve something is more important than the desire to get something. That is a secret, wonderful moment. This is where we meet.” ~Gangaji

“Resting in truth. Standing in truth. Stepping up to the incredible opportunity to be fully who we are. Who knows how much time we have left, but there's time enough to rest and stand up in truth.” —Ann-Marie, Ontario

When Papaji asked Gangaji to share this invitation to peace in the West, she said yes, unequivocally. She had no plan, but she was willing to give what she had been given. Today, this invitation has traveled far beyond the West, to every corner of the world. And somehow, this message of peace found its way to you.
Perhaps you came across it through a book or a video on YouTube. Maybe you joined a friend at a public meeting or heard a podcast. We don’t know whose life this invitation will touch next, but together, we can make sure it is available to all those longing to know true peace, wherever they are in the world—including those men and women living in prison.
The many ways this life-changing invitation is shared are made possible by the hands and open hearts of donors and volunteers who said yes, too. I earnestly invite you to make a year-end or monthly gift to sustain this work. If your life has benefited from just one aspect of the Foundation’s efforts, then you know what it can mean to another on their journey of awakening.
May all beings know peace.
Barbara Denempont,
Executive Director


What began in 1994 with Gangaji accepting an invitation to speak at a federal prison in Colorado has grown into a program reaching thousands of incarcerated men and women.
With the support of donors, more than 41,000 prisoners across the US have digitally accessed Gangaji’s Freedom Inside courses and content on tablets. In the last year alone, an additional 3,000 Spanish speakers accessed the Spanish edition of the course.

Each month, we receive letters and requests from prisoners longing to deepen their inquiry. Your gift helps us respond to these requests with care. It makes the Freedom Inside course available by mail and tablet, provides books free of charge, and sustains the peer-to-peer correspondence program.
As Michael, at Arizona State Prison, shared:
“Finding the practice of self-inquiry and satsang has been the most significant discovery in my life and in myself. My life, regardless of location, has changed, is blessed, and is better than words can describe.”


Somewhere in the world, someone is hearing Gangaji’s invitation and feeling a deep resonance—a desire to be in retreat or attend monthly meetings. When saying yes feels just out of reach, a scholarship can make all the difference. It offers an opportunity to come closer and be welcomed home to who they truly are.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you all. The retreat was fabulous. So very meaningful for me. So much love and laughter. It solidified my TRUST that it is so.”
For more than thirty years, the Gangaji Foundation and its donors have shared a commitment to offering full and partial scholarships that can include tuition as well as housing and meals for in-person retreats. With your support, we can continue this tradition and help make sure financial barriers don’t stand in someone’s way.
At the heart of every scholarship is a welcome home.

Just as Gangaji’s invitation found its way to you, people around the world are coming across it every day—each in their own way, each with their own longing to discover what is true.
Over the years, the ways we share this invitation continue to grow. Gangaji.org has become a gathering place for people around the world—a place to explore Gangaji’s teachings, connect with one another, and participate in community video screenings and online public meetings. The website also offers free self-guided inquiries, inviting a deeper dive into experiencing what Gangaji is pointing to.

After completing the free self-guided inquiry Let Yourself Be Found, Rita shared:
“I experienced the letting go of the disillusionments, all the wants, all the should-bes. Tears arose in my eyes. I could feel an opening in my heart and a breath as soft as a cloud. Then I could feel it: I AM. I AM HOME.”
With the support of this community, the invitation travels even farther through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Substack, and the podcast Being Yourself. Who could have imagined Gangaji would have a podcast with listeners in 160 countries, downloaded an average of 14,000 times each month?
What a beautiful collaboration that has unfolded over many years! You can help continue the collaboration with your support.

Imagine our children’s children discovering Gangaji’s invitation to peace and having the opportunity to inquire deeply, just as we have. What a gift that would be!
Since recordings first began in the early 1990s, Foundation staff, donors, and volunteers have been building an extraordinary archive. Today, it holds thousands of hours of audio and video, along with written materials—a living record of Gangaji’s direct invitation.
Our work now is to preserve these materials and make them accessible and explorable for generations to come. Zubin, our Archive Project Developer, is working alongside a dedicated team of volunteers to safeguard historical recordings and develop tools that will help people find the teachings that support their inquiry.
Your gift helps us care for this remarkable archive and make its treasures available to people today and in the future.
