RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Holy Spirit — Part 2

Are you alive or dead?

The awakening of the Holy Spirit is a distinct experience, not something merely emotional or imaginary. As you aspire on the path, the Holy Spirit lovingly sends guidance and assistance. It often starts subtly and then gradually becomes more powerful. Explore how to encourage and prepare for this awakening. Discover how you can be happier and enjoy greater spiritual realization through this profound blessing.

Sunday Morning Talks

Ready for the Spiritual Baptism?

One of the central questions on the spiritual path is:  are you alive or dead? Are you aware of Spirit or not? In your walk with Spirit, you are preparing for a second birth.

Until your spiritual birth — awakening by the Holy Spirit — you are spiritually ignorant. Enlightenment is a period of being given spiritual awareness, higher consciousness. This second birth is essential for happiness and fulfillment on the path.

Show More
  • The spiritual birth, the true baptism of the Holy Spirit, is essential on the spiritual path
  • Two conditions are necessary to maintain the Holy Spirit and the divine rush: saturation and maturation
  • Regular openness to — and saturation in — the energy of the Holy Spirit allows spiritual awareness to become part of one’s life
  • Bit by bit, maturation takes place until one is able to live in this sublime consciousness
  • As you aspire to walk the path, the Holy Spirit lovingly sends aid and assistance

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?
