RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

What Are Your Motives?

How to let love be your main motive

Ramakrishna Ananda explains that love is our heart’s true feeling but how six fetters (emotional chains) can block us from experiencing this love.

Essential Life Skills, Afflictions / Kleshas, Love
  • Hear how the infinite Spirit creates all beings out of love
  • How to come into divine love and know profoundly what love is
  • The meannesses of the heart that keep us in bondage and misery
  • Discover that to get free of a miserable heart, forgiveness is the key
  • Ways to forgive so that you live in love and allow love to be your main motive

The Eternal Motive Is Love

Yogis find in back of creation, in back of this whole universe, there’s an underlying eternal motive:  love. God’s love keeps it all going. It’s not a metaphor. It’s an energy. It’s a consciousness. Love keeps it all going, keeps us alive. Love is Spirit’s motive.

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?
