Worldwide Meetings

This is very much like a call-in radio show. If you simply want to listen to the Meetings, all you need is to install and set up the the software and have speakers attached to your computer.

If you wish to speak with John, then you will need a headset with microphone. Please see the links to detailed instructions below.

These live online meetings have much the same quality as call-in radio, and have proven to be a wonderfully effective way to broaden the reach of the infallible vichara of Ramana Maharshi, whereby all belief as to what we are is snuffed out.

The meetings draw people from all over the world.  We speak with people from Ireland, Poland, Spain, Thailand, Canada, Australia, England, The Netherlands, India, New Zealand, Brazil, Japan, Turkey, Hungary, Israel, Germany, Bahamas, Czech Republic, many other countries, and several US states.  

Those who participate have reported on the usefulness and value of being able to meet this way with John. Here are a few of the comments we have received:

Dearest John, I want to thank you again for your wordwide satsang. this opportunity for so many like minded people so far from each other to be together is priceless.

~~~

I want to thank you for making it all so clear to me, I have been taking the medicine for a while now and I have felt it gradually eroding away the false belief of who I am.  I just wanted to report how wonderful the live satsang is. As I sit here and listen to you today, I can feel the truth of who I am beginning to be revealed to me. I am beginning to know in my heart that I am not my life and I know that this will only deepen.

~~~

I really want to thank you for last Sunday (Feb. 11) online satsang. What a wonderful use of technology! I cannot tell you how much listening to you has been helpful to me, and how much it has revitalized the spiritual in my life.

~~~

I was at the online satsang today and I just wanted to join the chorus of people who have been saying that this is a wonderful idea. I live out in Pennsylvania so I don't have much of a chance of going to your satsangs in person...so it doesn't get much better than this! I stumbled across your videos on youtube a couple months ago and have been listening to your podcasts and reading your blog since then.

~~~

It was totally amazing to be in satsang with so many people from all over the world and some of the people I recognized from the October retreat as well! Awesome! It really was exciting. I am glad John is reaching so many people who otherwise could not receive his teaching!

~~~

Thank you again for online satsang and everything else you do. I'm so glad to hear that you plan to continue with this in spite of the technical glitches that will need to be ironed out. It's more than worth it, really. I look forward to the next one!

~~~

I was very pleased to participate in last Sunday's online satsang!

~~~

I was in on the online satsang last Sunday and enjoyed it very much. Technology is amazing, isn't it?

~~~

I want to thank you for your satsang this morning. I write this time from France. I liked your satsang so, because it is somehow different from hearing recordings only. It has even more ease and, yes, somehow kind of "nothing special," "natural"... not easy to say... it feels close... may be the better expression.

~~~

Thank you ever so much for the online satsang.  I am in NY and it is wonderful to be able to come together live with you and friends.   I really appreciate your single-focused message to just do it, to just look, to stop putting it off. I recognize that explanations of things spiritual, knowledge, etc, while having fascinating in the past, are just diversion.   Thank you for the push to the real. I am hoping to find the talk button next time, but I truly enjoyed the privilege to listen!

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.
