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.
