RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Eightfold Path of Patanjali

Find out how to progress on the path to enlightenment

Everyone, whether aware of it or not, is on the path to enlightenment, fulfillment and love. There are stages we pass through and each stage is important. Ramakrishna Ananda takes us through each stage, starting with the first two focusing on character development, to the last stage, samadhi, a deep experience of higher consciousness.

Higher Yogas Classes, Scriptures, Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Yamas & Niyamas

Ramakrishna Ananda’s Wish

I wish you that joyous experience of the grandness of your soul. I wish you samadhi. It’s there for you when you’re ready for it and it’s available to start happening to you now. Look at your life in terms of the Eight-fold Path. It is a marvelous map to enlightenment.

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?
