RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Shortcut to Enlightenment

Discover how to live from your true self

Enlightenment is the state of abiding in your true nature. Discover attitudes and practices which will help you progress quickly on the spiritual path. The message in yoga is clear — you are invited to be enlightened. Yoga shows the way.

Higher Yogas Classes, Enlightenment

Live from your Inner Self

To become enlightened, you discover your true self and live from it. To that end, you have to become free of habits of attitude, thought and feeling that are very limiting. You need to get free of negative habit patterns in order to contact and abide in your inner self. Awakening is also defined as the process by which you give up habits of separateness or cosmic loneliness and become free of negative influences which tend to drive your life.

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?
