RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

What Are You Awake To?

Discover how to awaken to a more fulfilling life

Are you happy, healthy, contributing to society, going toward God? If your answer is no, then you are asleep to Spirit, the infinite consciousness inside you. We are all paying attention to what is most important to us. Find out how you can become awake to God, divinity, the reality of Spirit, and live a more fulfilling life.

First Steps, Awakening, Higher Consciousness

Seek to Know God

In yoga we seek to recognize that existence and life is of God, from Spirit. Sri Ramakrishna said, ‘You see it is God Himself that has become the phenomenal universe and all the beings in it.’ Seek to know that. Seek to be awake to the One who created all this.

  • Yoga helps us, day by day, to awaken to Spirit
  • Our concepts, intuitions and values become enlightened as we awaken
  • With the release of desire, the ego concept of “I,” “me” and “mine” dissolves
  • One attains peace by living devoid of desires which intensify ego and separateness
  • As we awaken to Spirit, we become conscious of peace, bliss and ecstasy

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?
