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.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-from \u003ci\u003eHidden Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eHidden Treasure\u003c\/i\u003e, Gangaji guides readers to the realization  that once they can uncover and speak the truth about themselves, deep  and lasting contentment is entirely possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120724459760,"sku":"9781101547694","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101547694_p0.jpg?v=1763687455","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101547694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
