RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Transformation and Nitya Lila

Why not live from your true self 24 hours a day?

Deep experience of pure being often leads to additional states of higher consciousness. We can be transformed through spiritual experiences and live as instruments of Spirit, expressing truth, beauty and goodness. Learn how abiding in being leads to nitya lila, the divine play.

Online Seminars

Lila — A Divine Play

Sri Ramakrishna taught that the ideal is to be absorbed in Spirit and then come out and help the world. Spirit wishes to express through you. Go into Spirit and allow your awareness to dissolve in Spirit. When you come back to self-awareness, you are guided and inspired to express love, light, truth, beauty and goodness. This phase is called the lila, the divine play. More and more you will see life as a play of Spirit and not a play of matter. You’re seeing the essence of life instead of only the material expression.

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?
