RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Pursuit of Happiness

How to find greater happiness within yourself

Yogis seek to find that true happiness which resides within. Ramakrishna Ananda discusses what keeps us from finding ongoing happiness. He encourages seekers to go through the levels of meditation to the inner self. It is here that we will find ananda — abundant, ever-new joy.
