Meet John

The investigation into your true nature will not make of you anything that you are not already, but it will, over time, destroy the false belief that you are this body, this mind, this story, this life.

That false belief is the root cause of all human suffering whatsoever. -- John Sherman

John Sherman


John offers guidance in the practice of the vichara, according to Ramana Maharshi, and encourages people to seek only the simple truth of their actual nature.

John meets with people who are deeply called to investigate, for themselves, the simple truth of their being. 

All meetings and events with John are always free of charge. 

All are welcome, with no regard for religious and spiritual beliefs or practices. 

In these meetings, John speaks from his experience, listens to reports, and answers questions.

A Worldwide Meeting - July 19, 2008

"The seeing of what I want to communicate is very clear. The effort resides in trying to convey it in words. This is a two-way relationship. As I hear from you, my capacity of communicating this that I see evolves and improves." — John Sherman

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.
