In this captivating episode of Gangaji Podcasts, listeners are taken on a journey through the concept of innocence and its perceived loss.

Through engaging storytelling and profound reflections, Gangaji encourages individuals to confront their disillusionment directly.

She challenges the common tendency to escape into definitions and stories of who we are, suggesting instead that true freedom lies in recognising the indefinable essence within us all.
