In 1924 he married Sumatibai and they had three daughters and a son.

Mystical Poetry of Rumi! Jelaluddin Rumi, the 13th century mystic poet, was truly one of the most passionate and profound poets in history. Now, today his presence still remains strong, due in part to how his words seem to drip of the divine, and startle a profound rememberance that links all back to the Soul-Essence. Born in what is present day Afghanistan in 1207, he produced his master work the Masnawi which consists of over 60,000 poems before he died in 1273. The best way to fully say in words his impact, is that he has the ability to describe the Indescribable, Ineffable-- God. I have included two different translators of his work. There is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye. From Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks This We Have Now This we have now is not imagination. This is not grief or joy. Not a judging state, or an elation, or sadness. Those come and go. of God.

Papaji[edit] Teaching[edit] Gangaji currently writes and tours as a teacher. “I invite people to just stop and be still. Gangaji uses a personal form of enquiry to aid in the realization of 'direct experience': “I use inquiry as a way of getting the mind to turn inward to the silence. In facing strong emotions such as fear and anger, or in dealing with traumas which keep people locked in personal misery and unable to experience freedom, Gangaji teaches “direct experience,” or meeting whatever emotion is present. Gangaji Foundation[edit] Since 1993 Gangaji’s work has been supported by The Gangaji Foundation, a non-profit headquartered in Ashland, Oregon. Recent events- Relationships and Illusions[edit]
