RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Real Love is Ongoing

Find out how to enter a divine play of love with God

Yogis define love as the state of emotion which expresses as an ongoing, dynamic giving of oneself. Real love reveals itself in the way we treat ourselves and others. Love lifts us into lila, the divine play.

Devotional Yoga, Love
  • Yoga and most spiritual paths define love as an ongoing giving of oneself
  • Theologian Dr. Paul Homer says love is not a declaration, it’s what you actually do
  • Rabbi David Cooper (God Is a Verb) explains that God is an ongoing process
  • Yogis view Spirit as continuously emanating the universe
  • Sri Ramakrishna taught that when one is enlightened, one becomes aware of Spirit everywhere expressing in this divine play
  • Discover how we can better notice and receive God’s love for us

Dynamic Love

Jesus, the avatars, the saints, yogis and mystics all say:  get involved with this dynamic love. Understand that love is moving and expressing all the time. Loving is going on — not a declaration or intention, but an action. Spirit is loving us in all places and conditions, right now and tomorrow and tomorrow. It’s our part to notice and receive this love. When we recognize this love, we’ll live in awe and delight. We will live in this tender, magnificent, pervading love.

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.
