RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Sri Ramakrishna's View on the Heart

Do you know that God lives in your heart?

Sri Ramakrishna called the heart center “God’s drawing room,” the place to meet and communicate with Spirit. Our heart center is the most natural and effective place to contact the Divine, to feel God’s love for us, and a place from which to love God. Learn about the metaphysical and spiritual aspects of the heart, guided by the enlightening views of Sri Ramakrishna.

Yoga in Daily Life, Sri Ramakrishna, Heart Center, Devotion

The Important Thing

What is the important thing? To somehow cultivate devotion for God and love for Him. When you have this love, you are assured God realization will occur.

  • Sri Ramakrishna emphasized the heart center is the most important chakra for most people
  • Find out who is the best devotee
  • According to Sri Ramakrishna, the heart of the devotee is where God lives
  • The important thing is to cultivate devotion for God

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?
