We all want lasting happiness, don’t we? Ramakrishna Ananda shares that one of the best ways to experience ongoing, uninterrupted happiness is to study how we make ourselves miserable.

Yogis delight in experiencing a happiness they find to be greater and more lasting than all other joys. This is the happiness that comes from within. We are guided by specific teachings from Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita which help us find that inner happiness.
