RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

How a Yogi Plays the Game of Life

What can meditation bring into your daily life?

Yoga practice brings both the experience of harmony and wholeness and its expression in daily life. Through yoga, you can contact the soul, the core of your being. Each morning is a fresh chance to allow love, light and goodness to express. Explore three marvelous ways to play the game of life. Through yoga you can live more consciously — aware of Spirit and soul in all circumstances.

Sunday Morning Sessions

Who is the Lord?

God has invited you to play life’s greatest game wherein you become fulfilled and happy, able to relate to what is actually going on. You may as well enjoy life — you are going to be playing it until your ego is transformed and your soul wins. The game is called Who is the Lord? If you play well, you are able to lead a happy, holy life. Recall the commandment:  Thou shall have no other Gods before Me. It is the secret of a fulfilling life.

Yoga concepts fit beautifully with this. Through yoga we learn about maya, the delusion and confusion which causes us not to know or relate to the Lord. We allow things to have more importance than soul and Spirit. Yogis seek to awaken from the sleep of maya and to sense the love, light, truth, goodness, power and wisdom found in the presence of Spirit. As we play Who is the Lord?, we discover that the soul and Spirit are ever present.

  • One yoga practice is to bring all levels of our being — including the ego, mind, emotions and body —into alignment
  • A second technique is to enjoy the already underlying harmony of body, mind and spirit found through practicing postures and meditation
  • A third way is to sense the soul in oneself and others through daily interactions
  • The secret to a happy, fulfilling life is to recall and observe the commandment:  Thou shall have no other Gods before Me.
  • Yogis regularly ask:  What is more important — Spirit or my ego?

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?
