RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

The Great Windows — Assimilation — Part 1

Would you like to be continually aware of Spirit?

Spiritual growth is mainly about assimilating. It’s not just what you learn, but what you assimilate from yoga that counts. Learn and develop assimilation to live in the joy that comes from awareness of Spirit.

Yoga Perspectives

The Power of Assimilation

There are seekers, there are devotees, and then there are advanced devotees who shine. There are pictures, paintings and sculptures of the great ones. There are yogis walking the earth today and there are holy ones on various paths. All of them are transmitting the power of assimilation from God to you and me, to show us how to find Spirit, live in Spirit, and discover the truth of existence — along with the possibilities of our individual lives.

  • Sri Ramakrishna and Patanjali emphasized the importance of assimilation — not just knowing about yoga, but becoming a yogi
  • Darshan — the light that shines from one who has spiritual awakening, helps us to assimilate
  • Satsang — meeting with devotees and talking about spiritual matters, aids assimilation
  • Avatars — divine descents, windows on God showing us what God is like
  • Learn practices which help develop assimilation and spiritual awareness
  • The goal is to have a continuous awareness of Spirit as we go through the lessons, blessings and challenges of daily life

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?
