RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Holy Spirit — Part 1

Can the Divine express through you?

The practice of yoga can free us from inner tension and turbulence and allow an awakening to the Holy Spirit. This process is called the awakening of the kundalini. Discover how to become spiritually alive and awake to the reality of the Holy Spirit.

Sunday Morning Talks

The Spiritual Facts of Life

Spiritual awakening is becoming aware of the spiritual origin of both yourself and the universe. When you have the Holy Spirit, you know that conscious energy underlies everything that exists. Conscious energy moves and has its being as the known universe. A person who “has the Holy Spirit” is one who has become awake to the spiritual facts of life, awake to the reality and presence of God.

  • Awakening to the Holy Spirit is to become conscious of the spiritual origin of both yourself and the universe
  • At the proper time, awareness of the Holy Spirit is given to you
  • The practice of yoga can help you prepare to receive the Holy Spirit
  • When you receive the Holy Spirit, you need to adjust to It
  • A person who is awake in Spirit begins to act in harmony with It

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?
