River of Freedom chronicles the experience of one woman''s spiritual awakening and her irrevocable realization of true freedom. This compelling video documentary first introduces us to Toni Varner, an American woman who grew up in Mississippi in the 1950''s, and who like many had carried on a life-long search for personal happiness and fulfillment. Seeking to fulfill the longing she felt in her heart, Gangaji pursued many paths to change her life, but even the greatest of successes ultimately came up short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for true 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 Gangas River, she met Sri H.W.L. Poonja, who opened the floodgates of self-recognition. In this meeting, Gangaji''s personal story of suffering ended and the promise of a true life began to flower and unfold.
