Sri Ramakrishna, the Parama Guru of our lineage, proclaimed, “Jatho Math, Tatho Path.” This means that, as many as there are individuals proceeding, so many are the paths to God.
Our Swamiji has provided several such paths to attain God. Here are some of the paths:
Surrender or Go on Duty (GOD)
Kri-Pa; Kri means to do, Pa means to get: Do and Get
Sravana, Manana, Nidhidhyasana:
Listen to the teaching of your Guru,
Reflect on it deeply,
Make it integral to your way of life.
Perfect Dharma (your ideal of perfection),
Perfect Artha (the resources to attain your ideal),
Perfect Kama (remove all desires that take you away from your ideal),
and you get Moksha (liberation)!
Trace the path inward to your soul:
Start with the Annamaya Kosha, move to the Pranamaya Kosha, then to the Manomaya Kosha, and further to the Vijnanamaya Kosha, and reach the Anandamaya Kosha.
Transcend the six ripus (limitations) that bind us to worldly existence:
In no particular order, perform seven activities that constitute Nitya Karma (eternal karma) to remain united with God in all actions:
Climb the ladder of Ashtanga Yoga.
Integrate several aspects of Vedic living and philosophy into your daily activities.
