RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

A True Devotee

Get to know the qualities that shine through a devotee

Ramakrishna Ananda reads from the Bhagavad Gita about the qualities of a true devotee.

The Devotee Who is Dear to God

Bhagavad Gita:  “He who hates no being, who is friendly and compassionate to all, who is free from the feeling of ‘I’ and ‘mine’, even-minded in pain and pleasure, and forbearing, ever content, steady in meditation, self-controlled and possessed of firm conviction, with mind and intellect fixed on Me (on God), he/she, my devotee, is dear to Me.”

  • Renunciation is the key to higher life
  • How peace and exuberance are the result of giving and sharing with others
  • Feeling yourself as friendly to all is the mark of a devotee’s life
  • Explore how a true devotee is always concerned about others and their welfare
  • The egoistic feeling that leads to a harmful quagmire in the life of the devotee
