RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Secret to Happiness

Find out how to live in bliss

Find the bliss and ecstasy which is already inside you. It may not be easy but heightened awareness unlocks that door.

Spiritual Development, Bliss / Ananda, Happiness

Be Open to Ever-New Joy

So, my friend, be open to ananda, ever-new joy. Let the bliss come. Let happiness fill you more and more. It’s surprising how much greater your fulfillment can be. Every day you may think, “I am full to the brim.” Then the next day, “Oh, even more!” Bliss is not just a hint about God being real; bliss is God’s presence. Bliss is happiness.

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?
