RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Vision of the Lord

Want to know what it’s like to see God?

The Bible says no man can see God. Yet the great yogi Sri Ramakrishna taught that to live without seeing God is to live totally in vain. How do yogis reconcile this? We are created by the Divine, we have Divine consciousness within us, and it is this Divine presence of God within us that can see the Lord. Discover several ways to prepare for a vision of God.

Bhakti Yoga Talks, Prayer, Meditation

Who Sees the Lord?

The Divine within us sees the Lord through spiritual eyes, hears through spiritual ears, and feels the Lord’s presence through the heart of love.

  • Learn the analogy of being in a theater waiting to see a stage production. What happens when the curtain rises? A deep hush — total stillness — occurs. In your stillness, your breath pauses and God’s light shines forth
  • Discover that the chaos of one’s thoughts, feelings and anxieties can soften into a hush of expectation
  • Deep prayer and meditation are keys to entering into a rapturous vision
  • The Lord responds to love, appreciation and adoration

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?
