Letters of Confirmation

We receive letters from people all over the world, telling us about their experience with self-inquiry.  We are always moved and encouraged to see the actual results of this simple method and the way in which people really benefit from this practice.

Here a few of these letters that speak directly to the effect of the practice on peoples' lives. 

2008

Something has happened I'm compelled to share.

I'm writing this after the world wide meeting...

Seeing through the trick

It is with a recognition of peace in me...

It has been so wonderful...

I just wanted to share with you...

I just read only one article of yours...

Thank you so much for your effort

 

2007

I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed ...

Thank you for your satsang.

I have to tell you how wonderful ...

I had to take antibiotics...

Your sharing the experience of being John Sherman...

First of all I must say...

Long time listener, first time writer.

I cannot thank you very much...

Six months ago, like so many others worldwide...

Oh John, great and growing gratitude here

I just wanted to express my gratitude for your teaching.

Thank you so much for speaking it like it is without the spiritual overtones.

I know you are busy these days...

I'm so grateful to have come across you...

I really appreciate the clarity and simplicity with which you communicate.

I have been on the spiritual path for about two and a half years now.

Found your podcasts and just wanted to let you know I'm listening.

I just wanted to let you know how very grateful I am...

For several years now, I have been busy with Advaita...

I just want to say thank you.

Hello.

Thanks again.

Your words have given me absolutely nothing...

Your podcasts have been tremendously helpful to me...

Bypassing the apparatus.

I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Gangaji Tahoe 2001 retreat...

I was at the online satsang today...

I'd like to THANK YOU so much, John.

I am very excited about the online satsangs!

I write these lines to you who are my true self...

I really want to thank you for last Sunday (Feb. 11) online satsang.

My dear brother John...

Today I realized what you have been trying to convey.

2006

I have been blessed with a life...

Just stumbled upon a picture of you on the internet...

Thank you so very, very much for "The Story of How I Met Gangaji, Became Spiritual and So Forth".

This magnificent retreat has come to an end...

I just feel like writing you an email...

Thanks for making your satsang available on podcast...

"I'd like to espress my gratitude" sounds a bit formal...

I am sitting here at my glass desk in my apartment in Helsinki, Finland...

On the internet I found your podcast feed ...

I obtained a copy of the book Conversations with Ramana Maharshi...

How can I ever, ever thank you...

I have often started writing to you...

I just spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday in Satsang with you.

I just listened to your most recent podcast...

You're really paring down your instruction!

Yesterday's phone conversation was something I needed...

I don't have the words...

Simple, ordinary happiness for no reason...

2005

There is nothing like the experience of extreme pain...

It is so interesting to notice...

Wow, John. Huge gratitude...

This last week I have been extremely busy...

2003

A thousand thank you's for this wonderful retreat!

Our work is to teach Ramana Maharshi's insight and method of self-inquiry to all who will receive it. Ramana's insight is that the only problem anywhere to be found is the false belief that you are 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 Ramana's infallible method of self-inquiry. 

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 Ramana's method of Self Inquiry 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.
