RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Real Self Comes Forward

What is it like to contact the soul?

Soul realization is a major goal of the spiritual path. When you center in the soul, it will inspire all areas of your life. Yoga provides eight main ways to contact the soul and allow it to come forward in our awareness and daily lives. As you grow in yoga, the soul’s wisdom and joy express in your thoughts, emotions, words and actions.

Spiritual Development

Your Soul Is the Best Part of You

The true self can reveal itself and express through you. You will live in your own unique way as Spirit shines and moves through your individuality. You become a blessing to humanity. We don’t know who we really are until we know ourself as a soul.

Enjoy these many ways to contact the soul and allow it to express.

  • A yogi is one who lives in awareness of body, mind, spirit and the harmony between the individual and the Infinite
  • There are many beautiful ways in which to develop from normal life to yogic harmony
  • As we grow in our yoga practice, we receive guidance and insight from our soul
  • There are four beautiful ways to work with our emotional nature and cultivate soul contact
  • Contact and interplay with the soul leads to high spiritual experiences

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?
