The Art of Enlightened Living

A 40-Day Online Course

The Art of Enlightened Living: The Path of Kriya Yoga and Mystical Christianity

Only the direct experience of God can satisfy the hunger of all human hearts for the purest truth and sublimest love. The teachings of the great spiritual masters Paramahansa Yogananda and Jesus Christ assure us that such experiences are indeed our birthright as God’s children.

In this 40-day online course, Isha Das, accomplished teacher, writer, lecturer, practicing psychotherapist, and spiritual director of The Assisi Institute, will introduce you to a mystical path to union with the Divine. Your understanding of the spiritual life will grow, and more importantly, your experience of the Divine will bring you peace in the midst of all of life’s challenges. 

In these 40 days, you will learn about:

  • Expanding your concept of God

  • A yogic map of consciousness

  • The role of a Guru

  • The significance of the chakra system

  • The role of prayer

  • Energy and magnetism

  • The Yamas of yoga

  • How to make spirituality practical, day-in and day-out

  • And much more!

This video course is an excellent preparation for initiation into Kriya Yoga, and is available for a donation of any amount to The Assisi Institute.

Included: 40 daily video lessons, four simple meditation techniques, practical guidance on how to meditate, and live zoom sessions with Isha Das featuring meditation, encouragement, and the opportunity to ask questions and receive additional support. 

Each video is approximately 5 to 8 minutes in length. Isha Das suggests a daily period of meditation to help integrate the course material into your mind and heart. He also recommends a few moments of journaling after each video.

About the Course

How does it work?

After donating and completing the signup form, you will receive a welcome email. To maximize your experience in the course, it is recommended that you review the four meditation techniques offered in the 28-Day course: the ancient OM meditation of Hinduism, the non-religious Happiness mantra, the Jesus Prayer of mystical Christianity, and the Hong Sau mantra from the Kriya Yoga tradition. Your welcome email will have links to short videos about each of these techniques.

You will be able to access your videos in two ways: The day after receiving your welcome email, an email with a link to a 5-to-8-minute video will arrive in your inbox each day for 40 successive days. You will also have exclusive access to all 40 recordings on the Course Page. Move at the pace which is right for you!

Additionally, Isha Das will host live zoom sessions for all learners which will feature a time of meditation and interaction. These will be the perfect opportunity to have your questions answered and to receive support and encouragement for your learning.

Who will benefit from this course?

This course is helpful to everyone, but especially helpful to those who know that they want to deepen their spiritual lives and who already have a desire for prayer, meditation, silence, and inner peace. If you are still beginning to explore the spiritual life, you may want to complete Isha Das’ 28-Day online course first.

What is the cost?

The course is available for the cost of a donation in any amount to further the work of The Assisi Institute. We will also donate a portion of all proceeds to support the work of Swami Nirvanananda with the children of lepers of Puri, India.

Words of Gratitude for the 28-Day Course

“It has been a beautiful 7 days for me…spending a few minutes each morning with your teachings. I am employing my mission statement of living from a place of gratitude…Thank you for all that you do🙏🏽

Bharti Verma 

“Thank you, Isha Das, for creating the 28 day course! Clearly you channeled or allowed your words to flow from a higher realm because each day’s lesson filled me with the awareness that I have my own divine connection to God and it’s just right there! All I have to do is meditate, listen, and allow. The mixture of psychology and spirituality seems to really hit home for me. You’re a gifted teacher and I feel so fortunate to know you.” 

🙏❤️
