Mirabai Bush welcomes Bidisha Banerjee to share stories of the Ganga River, which invite us into the re-enchantment and allyship of devotional ecology with our environment’s sacred landscapes.

Bidisha Banerjee has been fascinated with the Ganga ever since she pretended, as a child, that the Kolkata municipal bathwater was Gangajal. Trained in ethnicity, race, and migration and climate change policy at Yale, she started following India’s “dirty, sacred river” from its source to the sea in 2009. A former program and curriculum director for the Dalai Lama Fellows, and now a somatic leadership coach, she lives with her family in Oakland, California, the midpoint between her two homes–Kolkata and Kansas. Her first book, Superhuman River: Stories of the Ganga, was published by Aleph Book Company in 2020. For more information, please visit Bidisha-Banerjee.com
