RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

You Are a Shining Instrument

Will you accept an invitation to be a shining instrument of Spirit?

How open are you to Spirit expressing through you in your daily life? Just as each crystal in a chandelier reveals the light, Sri Ramakrishna taught that we also can be a revealer of the light of God, Spirit. Discover yoga practices which help you surrender to the openness of being a light, allowing God to reveal Himself through you.

Spiritual Development, Receptivity, Dharma

God Wants to Reveal Himself

God wants to reveal Himself through you and others. God has created mankind to manifest His own glory. Otherwise, who could know the universe or the nature of its Creator? You are a revealer of God when your soul light is shining through you. Open yourself to being a light, to being one of God’s spiritual expressions.

  • Discover how you can allow the light of God shine through you
  • God wants to reveal Himself through you
  • Find out how to be a light to the world through surrendered, attuned service
  • Discover how being God’s instrument allows Spirit to shine through
  • Doing yoga postures, pranayams and meditation with a loving attitude will, in time, reveal God to you
  • The mystical meaning of the word person is someone through whom Spirit or higher consciousness expresses

We are spiritual beings
“Higher consciousness (also called spiritual awareness) is the main component missing in the lives of people. We humans are spiritual beings, enlivened by Spirit. We’d have a much better world if more people discovered the already present Spirit within them.”

— Ramakrishna Ananda

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?
