RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Sri Ramakrishna's Ecstatic Moods

Be inspired to go farther in meditation

Throughout his life Sri Ramakrishna experienced ecstatic absorptions in Spirit. Studying his experiences can also inspire us to enter deeper immersions in Spirit.

Devotional Yoga, Sri Ramakrishna

From The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna

— Sri Ramakrishna danced, intoxicated with the love of God. The devotees danced around him.

— Sri Ramakrishna danced, intoxicated with divine joy. Now and then he went into samadhi, standing still as a statue.

— Sri Ramakrishna caught hold of M.’s hand and said, ‘Don’t be foolish! Dance!’

Show More
  • In deep samadhi, immersion and absorption in Spirit, Ramakrishna stood still, his face radiating a divine glow
  • In a state of partial consciousness (usually after samadhi), he danced, sometimes gently and sometimes with the vigor of a lion
  • Coming further down into awareness of the physical world, he sang spiritual chants

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?
