RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

What is Life For?

Are we not blessed to be alive?

Ramakrishna Ananda asks two questions: Are we not blessed to be alive? What is life for? Our soul wants to express itself in time, space and causation. We study and practice yoga in order to live more successful and fulfilled lives. Join us in discovering how to be a better instrument of Spirit and live in joy.

Spirit Is Expressing

Let yoga help you. Yoga is both realization of Spirit and manifestation of Spirit in the dimensions of time, space and causation. Yogis find out “My life is for Spirit.” They then allow the Infinite Spirit to express through them. I can’t imagine anything better than being an instrument by which Spirit expresses.

Spirit within us takes a name and a form and expresses itself in time, space and causation
We are spiritual beings expressing in time. In deep meditation, yogis experience the eternal
We are souls with physical bodies occupying space. Yoga devotees appreciate and cultivate the spaces they live in

We are born into the dimension of cause and effect. We seek to generate more constructive causes which will bring better effects into our lives
In meditation we go beyond time, space and causation into Spirit and become instruments of Spirit

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
