RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Be a Blessing — Part 2

Discover how Spirit can bless others through you

We can be instruments of blessing. Pierre Pradervand (The Gentle Art of Blessing) states:  To bless is to invoke or call down Divine care upon a person or situation. Discover the advanced principles of blessings and how you can be a blessing in the lives of others.

Essential Life Skills

Bless Your Day

When you wake up in the morning, bless your day. Open yourself to receiving all you need. Open yourself to the harmony behind the veil of appearances. Open yourself today and each day to universal good. Open yourself to whatever you need to progress at this moment of your existence.

— Pierre Pradervand

  • Pierre Pradervand:  We ourselves are never the bestower but simply the witness (and instrument) of life’s abundance.
  • Blessing is understanding and rejoicing in the expression of Divine abundance
  • Use the expanded Golden Rule as a blessing by thinking of others as you would like them to think, feel and speak of you
  • Live a life of yoga harmony and love — become a continuous instrument of blessing

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?
