RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Holy Company

Are you a good companion to God and higher consciousness?

The company you keep is a powerful influence on you and your quality of life. Spiritual companions are true blessings. Spirit, too, is your companion.

Spiritual Development, Companionship, Sri Ramakrishna

You Are Invited

You and everyone you know are invited and will be most welcome to practice some form of yoga and enjoy the divine company of fellow human beings who have hearts like yours, hearts full of God or hearts beginning to seek God. So, do your practices, meditate with love, steadiness, and the right motive. For more rapid progress on the path, keep the company of the lovers and knowers of God.

  • Yogis say that God created man and woman out of Himself and sent them out to experience time, space and causation with the idea that eventually they would evolve spiritually and become companions in a divine play
  • We learn through evolution (trial and error) or involution (turning within.) Gradually we begin to sense Spirit
  • We become attracted to other spiritually conscious people
  • The company of holy men and women awakens faith and inspires us to move Godward
  • Through holy company and companionship with the Lord we learn the purpose of life

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?
