A Worldwide Meeting on March 1, 2008 "There are infinite questions, but there is really only one answer, which is not to say that, for the one who is harboring a burning question about reality or the relationship to it, or what can be done to realize freedom, a particular question is not unique and individual to the person who is asking it. It is not to say that it is the same question; it is not the same question. But it is going to be the same answer." — John Sherman Click here to read the transcription.

| Our work is to teach the method of the vichara (self-inquiry) to all who will receive it. The only problem anywhere to be found is the false belief that you are at the mercy of your life, and the only solution is the truth, which is everywhere and always present and self-evident. Ridding oneself of the false is as easy as repeatedly tasting the truth of being here, unmovingly, unchangingly here. This repeated looking directly at oneself is the infallible method of the vichara. Although our meetings are free of charge, they are certainly not free of cost. The money needed for this work must come entirely from the generosity and compassion of those who, like us, have seen for themselves the immense worth of spreading this good news to all humanity. Please help provide financial support for the work of making this method more widely available in the world by making a donation or a monthly pledge in any amount now. All donations to the River Ganga Foundation are fully tax-deductible. |
