RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Lost and Confused? Go Beyond

How to make better decisions every day

Sri Ramakrishna described many ways to look beyond duality and begin to see Spirit moving and expressing. Discover yoga practices which calm the mind, open it to insights from the buddhi (good will witness) and allow it to relate to Spirit directly.

Essential Life Skills

Living Beyond Duality

After you have spiritual realization, you are able to live aware of the oneness beyond duality. You are able to recognize that all of life’s issues occur within Spirit. Daily meditations help you go beyond duality into essence — into Spirit. You live from your spiritual center, the soul. Your humble ego permits the soul to express through your mind and emotions. You then live your life conscious that you are Spirit.

  • In duality we feel we are solitary, separate beings trying to achieve happiness and fulfillment on our own
  • To know and realize Spirit one must go beyond both the knowledge and ignorance of the mind
  • When the identification with the body disappears, a person realizes I am Spirit 
  • The buddhi (the good will witness) can help us gain insights and make better decisions
  • Spiritual realization allows one to see everything as Spirit moving and expressing
  • Enjoy Sri Ramakrishna’s comments about seeing Spirit

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?
