The Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo

The Integral YogaI. The Integral YoginA dynamic message rose from the battle-field of Kurukshetra, fifty centuries ago: “Be a yogin, live in yoga with the Divine, act in the Divine Consciousness.” That was the message of Sri Krishna to the progressive humanity, through the medium of the heroic Arjuna. Through the thick maze of headlong Time, the word Yoga was struggling for a perfect expression. Its voice was almost drowned by the hell-cries of the battling vital movements.Here and there, some ascetics added attributes to it according to individual predilections and sought through yoga to still or kill the mind in featureless trance. Books were written on yogas; but yoga was still a mystery or monopoly or a thing dreaded by family men. Humanity was still groping through the blind alleys of ignorance without knowing the saving virtue of yoga.Editor’s NotesThe Integral Yoga of Sri AurobindoLive in Yoga with the Divine, a Life Divine !The Yoga of Sri Aurobindo by Kavi Yogi Maharishi Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati is a rare volume of Dr. Shuddhananda Bharati written about Sri Aurobindo.There is a growing demand for yoga books now.
