RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Supreme Yoga Outlook

What is it like to be enlightened?

An enlightened person sees all is Spirit. He/she recognizes God (Spirit) is the essence of everyone and everything. Explore the possibilities of spiritual awakening.

Spiritual Development, Enlightenment

Life Is Beautiful

When people are enlightened, they perceive life differently. They see Spirit everywhere.

The Bhagavad Gita explains how an enlightened person, especially an enlightened yogi, views the world:  He or she, established in oneness, worships Me abiding in all beings. That yogi lives in Me, whatever may be his/her mode of living. (Gita 6:31-32)

  • True enlightenment means liberation from all bondage — especially in mind, emotions and ego
  • Enlightenment is having an unwavering awareness that Spirit is manifesting everything
  • One is conscious of Spirit at all times, no matter what appears to be real
  • Realization brings the recognition that we are all manifestations of one Cosmic Being
  • Since all living beings are connected in Spirit, we seek to do our part to benefit humanity
  • Sri Ramakrishna:  The enlightened one beholds Spirit as the core of his or her own being

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?
