RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Overcoming the Asuras

Find out how to overcome obstacles and live in joy

Episode 4 of 6 of the Shakti and Realization Seminar — The asuras are inner and outer forces which deny the harmony of body, mind and Spirit and keep us from realizing our true nature. Find out how to call on shakti, the light and power of God, to transform obstacles and fill your life with joy.

Getting to Know Your Lila

Getting to know your lila usually starts off seeming to be a battle, but it is extremely important. You are able to invoke divine help in each area that you’re conscious needs help. You can accelerate on the path immeasurably because whatever has been standing in your way can be dealt with, one by one. As a result, your lila becomes sweet and joyous.

  • Both Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita teach that life is a battle in which we must overcome ignorance, arrogance and other negative influences (asuras)
  • As a result of sincere asking, shakti, the infinite power of the Lord, can become personally accessible
  • Find out what is blocking you from experiencing your personal lila, the divine play of great joy, which brings perpetual transformation
  • Discover how to call to shakti for protection and help

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?
