Ganga Ma
Ganga has been leading kirtans and mantra workshops for over 15 years. Most memorable were the gatherings with big groups on the banks of the river Ganga in Rishikesh. The invitation of her teacher to offer chants at his satsangs was a great gift. She has learned so much from showing up day after day to chant in the ashram. Here, chanting really became a part of her sadhana and she owes much of what she shares today to these moments.
