RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Finding Fulfillment with Tapas

Are you under-energizing your yoga practice?

Episode 4 of 8 of the Yoga and Fulfillment Seminar — We continue our journey to fulfillment with an exploration of tapas, the effort to be a better, more able person. Explore guided contemplations which can help you learn where you might be under-energizing your yoga quest. Discover how practicing non-violence, non-stealing, non-truthlessness and non-greed can quickly open the door to greater attunement.

Cause and Effect

One of the main messages of yoga is cause and effect. If you want a better effect, initiate better causes. Do something that will help bring your goal into fruition. Whenever you want a more beneficial effect, think of a new cause that will help manifest it. Yogis often reflect: How can I help create a better effect here?

  • Consider what is really important to you and apply tapas, effort, toward fulfillment
  • Through yoga we understand the cause and effect dynamic — put out better causes to have better effects
  • Sense your true self, the atman, in back of the mind, beyond the emotions
  • Practicing non-violence, non-truthlessness, non-stealing, non-sensuality and non-greed transforms one’s life
  • Participate in guided meditations on non-violence, non-truthlessness, non-stealing, non-sensuality and non-greed
  • Chant “Who Is in my Temple?” and sense the atman, your true self

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?
