"I am simply here to support you in recognizing the living
happiness of your true nature." - Kosi
In June 2001, a deep and abiding prayer led Kosi to Gangaji. Since her first meeting with Gangaji, she has attended countless satsangs around the world with Gangaji as well as satsangs. With Gangaji's guidance, Kosi has experienced an indescribable and endless deepening into the Freedom of Being—indescribable happiness and fulfillment.
Although Kosi views the lineage of Ramana Maharshi as the most profound, she has studied many different spiritual traditions as well as spent time with some of the world's most renowned spiritual teachers—The Dalai Lama, Sogyal Rinpoche, Deepak Chopra, Gurumayi, Shakti Gwain, and Neal Donald Walsh—to name a few.
Kosi's birth name is Jill Warner. She grew up in Northern Virginia in the United States and is a graduate of Virginia Tech. Her career led her to the famed Silicon Valley in Northern California were she enjoyed a successful career in software sales. To her amazement, her financial success offered no lasting fulfillment or happiness and her spiritual search for freedom began in earnest in the summer of 1996, which ultimately led her to Gangaji. She is the author of three books: Absence of Doubt, The Secret Teaching of Jesus Christ and Arunachala Siva—Heart of Ramana.
The name Kosi was given as the most sublime silent mystical initiation—it was a divine arrow that struck deeply into her Heart, forever annihilating the name given at her birth. The Kosi கொஸி (pronounced Ko-she) is one of the largest tributaries of the Ganga. Its source is in Tibet and its mouth (end) is the Ganga in India. The name Kosi serves as the constant reminder of true surrender—the purest most sublime surrender—the Kosi simply vanishes into the Ganga—the sacred river of freedom. It also serves to remind you of the simple ordinary joy of life, the essence of your true nature—laughter—a reminder not to take life too seriously.
Kosi is outrageous, loves life, loves to laugh, loves to make inspirational videos, write books, and she is offering you her support for your own Self-discovery. You are invited to participate in Kosi's global online community A Conscious Conversation, which grew out of the devotional videos she created for YouTube. It is free and you can join by using your Facebook, Google, Yahoo, or Twitter account. For more information please visit our community page.

Sound, Silence, and Satsang point you to the Living Heart of the Great Secret that is in you, free of you, and is You. It so simple, so intimate, it has never been spoken or described and all who discover it find true love, happiness, and freedom. Kosi offers you her life in support of this discovery. Life is painful and when you wrap a story around your pain and identify yourself as that story—you suffer and you suffer needlessly. When you stop telling your story for a moment, you have an opportunity to discover the happiness of your true nature. This is Self-inquiry, it is letting go of what you 'think' you know so that you can open to inquire. This is the essence of the support Kosi is offering you. |
What is Self-inquiry?
Self-inquiry is falling in love so deeply with questions that you directly discover the indescribably vast wisdom of The Heart. It is the deepest most ruthless truth telling—What do you really want? And really, honestly, what do you want? What is your life really about? How are you spending your precious breath? Instead of assuming you know who you are—inquiry is opening to discover directly: Who are you Really?
This inquiry represents an end to seeking a better job, a newer better you, a new relationship, more money, another guru or spiritual teacher. If you are really honest with yourself you can recognize that whatever you have been seeking in the hope it would give you love or happiness or peace or safety has never offered you lasting happiness or fulfillment. Instead of trying to fill the longing deep inside of you by looking outward in the world, inquiry turns your attention inward to the source of this mysterious longing.
It represents an end to learning to get as well an end to your endless strategies for survival. It is a stopping to meet your deepest fears, instead of the status quo, which is simply ignoring them—especially the deepest of all fears—death. And in this stopping there is an opportunity to directly recognize the happiness and fulfillment of your true nature—beyond any concept of who you 'think' you are.
Instead of believing either the negative or positive conversations in your head about yourself and others, inquiry gives you a choice to simply stop and open. It is a deep meeting of the self-hatred, or the self aggrandizement and/or the disillusionment with your life that started your search for love, freedom, peace, enlightenment, bliss, or just a better life—a direct discovery of what is always here Free of any sensation, circumstance, and even death.
If you are reading this; you are ready to stop and recognize who your really are. And the really good news is your suffering ends the moment you are willing to stop, be still, and directly discover for yourself what is always here—unmoving. What has been with you every single moment of your life?
What is exactly the Great Secret? Kosi is here to support you in this direct discovery.
