RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Prema — Let Your Love Soar — Part 2

Bhakti is just the beginning. Find out how to go farther

Normal bhakti, an actual flow of love for God, is wonderful. However, it’s really just the beginning. If you are fortunate, your bhakti prepares your nerves and mind for higher intensities of ecstatic love called prema.

Devotional Yoga, Devotion, Love

Divine Ecstatic Love

One day the spirit within you rushes into Infinite Spirit. It’s astonishing, intense. You lose awareness of your body, the world, and your earthly identity. You enter ecstasy, light, and Spirit everywhere. You’re experiencing prema, divine ecstatic love.

One day your love wants to grow more and more intense. If you’re comfortable and the circumstances are right, you allow this intense love to become more and more ecstatic. You just let it roar. You allow it to prevail, take over, do its will.

  • Learn how to develop bhakti and experience an ongoing flow of love for God
  • Discover the many ways that bhakti prepares one to experience prema
  • A humble ego that’s willing to cooperate and allow something beyond its control to occur is necessary
  • As intense love becomes more and more ecstatic, it will take you to prema
  • After experiencing prema, there needs to be a thorough descent or bilom. Learn three important bilom practices

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?
