What is yoga? It is the conscious state of harmony between body, mind, emotions and inner self. Beyond that, it is a state of harmony with others and with the universal self. Here Ramakrishna Ananda takes us through the five key truths which can lead from our present state of consciousness to a state of harmony.

Desires provide important motivation and drive. Desires, however, usually cause people to feel unfulfilled, living in a state of yearning, craving or anxiety. Ramakrishna Ananda shares a technique which helps to let go of desires in a stress-free progression. This method can lead to peace, bliss and, ultimately, profound fulfillment.

Yoga teaches that God wants to express divine love and goodness in a unique way through each of us. When this isn’t manifesting, it’s because we are blocking it with physical tension or mental/emotional turbulence. Discover how you can be more open to the Divine expressing through your thoughts, words and actions.

Ramakrishna Ananda refers to chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita: The karma yogi offers his/her work and then himself/herself to the Lord. He or she seeks to realize they are but an instrument in the hands of the Lord and that God’s love and light are moving and expressing in their lives. Karma yoga can take them all the way to enlightenment.
