RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

You Are Light and Bliss

What is the best way to bring greater love and bliss into your life?

The yogic view is that the soul is our true nature. It is the abode of bliss, love and light within us. Retreats provide an opportunity to contact and align with our inner self. Here you can find various teachings and practices from yoga, as well as a series of reflections about the meaning, goal and purpose of your life. Retreats provide opportunities to discover and live from the joy of the inner self.

Online Seminars
  • Yogis have found that the true self — the soul — is bliss, love and light
  • All joy comes from the soul. The joy we experience from people and events comes from within
  • Yoga practice leads to the discovery of ecstasy as spiritual energy begins to move in the nervous system
  • Nivritti, a yoga technique for going within, begins a process of fulfillment, leading to progressively greater satisfaction in life

Contact Your Soul

One of the main goals of a retreat is to contact your soul. It is a chance to search for and meet your inner self. If you already know the soul, retreats give you the opportunity to reaffirm its priority in your life.

The practice of yoga leads to the discovery that your true nature is bliss, love and light. You begin to experience ecstasy as spiritual energy moves in your nervous system. Contact with the inner self brings greater enjoyment and fulfillment into your life. As you participate in a retreat, you have the opportunity to dive deeply into practices which can reveal the soul, your true essence.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
