RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Are You Working Too Hard?

Find out how to propel your spiritual growth

You cannot earn your way into a relationship with God. You only need to receive it. Explore the spiritual dynamics which promote a growing relationship with Spirit.

Yoga in Daily Life

The Spiritual Path Is Dynamic

Sri Ramakrishna taught that the spiritual path must be dynamic. Allow the path to energize and develop you. Faith grows into yearning for God. The yearning becomes so intense that it makes the mind and heart one-pointed. As you abide in a one-pointed focus on God, bhakti grows and the heart’s natural love begins to express.

  • Ephesians 2:8:  For by grace you have been saved through faith. This is not your own doing. It is the gift of God. And because it is not earned, no man can boast about it.
  • Sri Ramakrishna and Chaitanya both taught that chanting God’s name and glories helps cultivate a relationship with the Divine
  • Narada, the great bhakti yogi, demonstrated that we can love God as naturally as a child loves its mother
  • Baba Hari Dass, the master yogi:  Faith needs to grow into experience.
  • The spiritual path is dynamic. True success means that one is always growing
  • Yoga focuses on ascending into Spirit and then bringing that spiritual awareness down through the physical body and into the world

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?
