Ashland, OR (PRWEB) June 16, 2009 -- The Gangaji Foundation announced the success of Gangaji's new Huffington Post articles. Her invitation is simple and the comments posted to her articles reflect the conversation that connects people around the world with Gangaji. This is a new medium for Gangaji that enables her spiritual message to reach a wider audience. The first three articles, Open Mind, Mississippi Burning: Good News for All, What Are You Spreading?, and last weeks' article Where Does Torture Start? Where Does It End?, offer readers a fresh and radical perspective in the context of current events.
From the moment her first article Open Mind hit the internet, her words have opened the minds and hearts of readers around the world with the depth of her core message-- 'In the midst of some activity, even the activity of reading this now, it is completely possible to allow your mind to open fully, and in that opening to discover the peace and fulfillment of your own spacious awareness.'
Gangaji is recognized for her uncanny ability to shift your awareness from the mundane activities of your life to the light that shines within you. As she so eloquently points out in her article Mississippi Burning: Good News for All-- ''The shining is the glow of the victory of the heart in the place where hatred lived. Whatever our superficial skin color, whatever our deep conditioning, whatever our unreasonable hatreds, if we turn to this shining within us, we find all is welcome here. All of us are welcome home.'
As a contributor to the Huffington Post, it is not just Gangaji's unique perspective that interests readers; it is the depth of the questions that she asks. In her article, What Are You Spreading?, held in the context of the recent Swine Flu panic, Gangaji asks, "'Do we even consider the possibility of keeping our emotional hurt contained, or is it allowed to randomly infect whomever we meet?" It's questions like these that really make you stop and think how your emotions can spread just quickly as any disease. Her questions deftly offer an alternative--the radical invitation to stop!
Perhaps there is no question more poignant than the questions posed by her most recent article Where does Torture Begin? Where Does It End? In stark contrast to the recent commentary and debate regarding torture, Gangaji asks, 'How does the way we treat ourselves affect our willingness to mistreat others?.' Her introspective glance at the root of torture dramatically shifts the conversation from blame and justification, to one of compassion and understanding.
In addition to the success of these mind stopping articles, Gangaji's new website was launched in April and there is growing enthusiasm for all the possibilities this new site offers. In a recent interview Barbara Denempont, Executive Director of the Gangaji Foundation, said, "There is a lot of excitement about Gangaji's Huffington Post articles as well as the new website and online courses that Gangaji will be offering starting in early 2010. Of course, Gangaji will still be offering retreats, but more and more the internet will be a catalyst for getting Gangaji's message out to a global audience. "
