Book Description
An inspiring new book from one of our greatest living spiritual teachers.
All of these stories teach us that we aren't who we think we are. How we have defined ourselves is not the truth of ourselves. What we think we must have is already present, and when we think we have lost the value of our lives, it is still here if we know where to look.
-from Hidden Treasure
In this life-changing book, renowned spiritual teacher Gangaji uses the telling of her own life story to help readers uncover the truth of their own. Antoinette (Toni) Roberson Varner was given the name Gangaji by her teacher Sri H. W. L. Poonja in 1990. Before that meeting, she had pursued many paths to enlightenment. Brought up in the 1950s in the racially divided south, she married young and had a daughter. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, she moved to Northern California and immersed herself fully in the spiritual culture that was flourishing there-but all her efforts to achieve lasting fulfillment ultimately fell short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for help. In 1990, the answer to her prayer came unexpectedly, taking her to India and to the meeting that would change everything. There on the banks of the river Ganges, she met Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened her mind to the eternal presence of being.
In Hidden Treasure, Gangaji guides readers to the realization that once they can uncover and speak the truth about themselves, deep and lasting contentment is entirely possible.

"How can we live lives, which most certainly are stories, and yet not be defined by these stories? We can be free in the story of ourselves, we can live free of any definition of ourselves. That freedom rests on the recognition of the nature of change and changelessness. The changeless is the conscious, silent awareness that is present regardless of any turn of events, regardless of any clothing. If we overlook changeless, silent awareness, we overlook that which is already free of all bondage, free of any definition of freedom."
Gangaji distills her 20 years of teaching into these 207 pages.
Using the telling of her own life story, she guides the reader in uncovering and speaking the truth about their own life stories so they can open the doorway to the possibility of living freely and in truth, right here, right now
Let's see, how did that story go? Sweet, smart, attractive girl from Mississippi, clearly destined to be just another lost soul somehow slips out of the Deep South of the Wrong Era (this review is being written in South Carolina by a guy in his late fifties, so I was there and I know EXACTLY what it was like) somehow slips out by riding the Great Wave that was the 1960's. From the wild and crazed West Coast she somehow makes it to gentle and crazed India, meets a guru who doesn't try to take advantage of her and actually has The Big Real Thing to offer, and by God, incredibly enough, she discovers her own True Nature!
What did I miss? Oh yes, she comes back to the U.S., has further crashing spiritual experiences, then begins to selflessly bring hope and love and joy to the mad masses all over the world, of which this reviewer was one. She and her organization continue to grow through all the typical mucky-yucky ups and downs of spiritual leadership, but nonetheless, Our Brilliant Treasure in Plain Sight remains a beacon of light and integrity and Awakeness. She becomes very famous in the spiritual community, but remains kind and humble. How do you do THAT?
Have I left anything out? Yes. First of all, Dear Sweet Gangaji, thank you, thank you, thank you! You know what for, you don't need to know who for, for I am You and You are Me and We are All Together! There is just ONE. I Am That.
The other thing is, Gangaji, I almost forgot, is: GREAT BOOK! You've taken people right where they need to go: to THEIR own personal stories! That's where everyone's Key is; that's what the Light is shining on, folks. Dig through the darkness and find that Light. There are a lot of Nondual teachers and writers out there, but none better or more trustworthy than Gangaji. Hop on board the FREEDOM TRAIN!
