RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Overcoming Obstacles to Samadhi

Learn how samadhi can free you from fears and worries

Samadhi is the absorption of our consciousness in progressively more subtle levels — from physical objects all the way to soul awareness. This deep absorption brings many benefits and transformations. Explore the obstacles to samadhi and how to overcome them. Discover how these superconscious experiences can enhance and enrich your life.

Samadhi Transforms and Liberates

Our present mental content is based on the past. All our samskaras (past energy patterns) have resulted in our present thoughts and emotions. Samadhi overcomes the pain and ignorance resonating from the past and transforms it into spiritual understanding.  Patanjali wrote that the project is to develop smriti (divine memory). If we can remember who we truly are, a divine soul, we are renewed. We become a new and free being.

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?
