RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Glorious Devotee has Shraddha

Explore how faith opens you to spiritual tranquility, knowledge and vigor

“Faith is the cornerstone on which yoga is based,” said the great yogi Sri Ramakrishna. The kind of faith he was talking about is called shraddha, a conviction about the love and presence of God which leads to a deep trust and tranquility. Discover how you can experience the spiritual knowledge, tranquility and vigor which come when you open yourself to shraddha.

Spiritual Development, Faith

Swami Hariharananda on Faith

Faith leads to tranquility and sustains a yogi in a state of comfort and protection — like a Divine Mother protecting you. Faith is a beneficial healing state which bestows a wonderful energy, making your mind and nerves stronger and stronger. Your mind grows more controlled and able to concentrate. In such a mind dawns the light of spiritual knowledge. A yogi sees the true nature of things, ie, sees things with a spiritual perspective.

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.
