RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Shakti and the Gunas

Would you like greater balance and harmony in your life?

Episode 2 of 6 of the Shakti and Realization Seminar — The easiest way to have self-realization is to know shakti (creative energy, life force). One of the most blessed ways to live your life and have a realization of shakti is to become sattvic (balanced) in your mind, thoughts and attitude. Discover how you can overcome the inertness of tamas guna and the mindless activity of rajas guna so that you can live in sattvas, the state of harmony which takes you to a profound experience of the shakti within and around you.

It is a blessed way to live — daily meeting with shakti, becoming more sattvic and, in time, abiding in spiritual awareness.

God, the Infinite Spirit, manifests the whole universe. Yogis call this power Shakti or the Divine Mother

Tamas guna is the quality of inertia and density; rajas guna is activity; sattvas guna is balance

Through postures and meditation you can live beyond the gunas while expressing through them
