Integral Yoga: Sri Aurobindo's Teaching & Method of Practice

It is great book, i would say amazing book, covering the topic very well. Although the style, manner of book also terminology used sometimes hard to understand. Not so easy reading but when you finish it all it pays off!

Just Reading Sri Aurobindo can bring your mind into such stillness, clarity and delight. He explains yoga, spiritual philosophy and spiritual psychology, spiritual experiencing in a way that hardly any other master has been able to do from a western and asian perspective. Others such as Sri Premananda Deva, Ananda Devi, Lakshmi Devi are also good reads if you can find their books.

The only way I am finding to fully understand, as well as fully appreciate Aurobindo is to read as many of his published works as are available, for not only does this supply repetition but other ways to approach an understanding of his ideas.

This book is for those who want to conquer their everyday problems for ever and not seek an escape from them. Unilke his other books, the selections in this book are in easier prose. You could open this book when Tylenol fails to bring sleep after a bad day, and pillow yourself with a good dream. Or you can read it first thing in the morning and allow yourself a great day ahead! It is not a typical book that you must begin on its first page. It is a compilation of paragraphs and pages selected from his other writings, outlining the solutions arrived at by Sri Aurobindo after his experiments with Integral Yoga. Depending on what area of your life you are seeking to deal with on a given day, you can jump to the topic directly. Whether you are seeking a higher peace or running away from your lower order problems, it is a book for you, for your spouse, for your child and for your parent. If you want to raise your purpose in this life to a higher possibility then this book is your waiting chance.

This book is a journey into the soul, this man was one of the most amazing and intelligent person to came out of India, yet no name of him in Indian History books, I know I was born and raised there, and never heard of him till I went to California.....so sad

If you are the type of person who is seeking to understand the abilities of human consciousness beyond the day-to-day existence, this material will provide you with that information. It would appear that other books, self-help books in particular, have taken one piece of the totality of knowledge required to put into practice a desired existence inclusive of several realms of consciousness. They are not helpful in reaching these realms or levels. The Integral Yoga is not "one piece" it is the totality. Within the pages of this book you will find the knowledge of a man, Sri Aurobindo, who, with continued practice, was able to reach realms or levels of consciousness unimaginable to most. Clearly written, easy to understand and practice. It is a journey that is more fulfilling than any journey you might take in the world of matter.

This is an advanced text on Yoga. I would recommend it for someone who has already been awakened and enlightened, and is on the verge of experiencing realization. It's purpose is to integrate illumination into daily life by transforming ordinary consciousness into mystical awareness. The book is loaded with insight after insight into the spiritual nature that is us and surrounds us. The constant flow of insights will cause frequent reflections and meditations to occur so the book will take awhile to read. Because the topic is about the mystical core common to the Creation and therefore common to all religions, you may also find yourself stopping and researching ideas from other religions such as Buddhism, Christianity and Sufism. I highly recommend the book. If you are a beginner to yoga, an introductory book on any or all of the monistic religions will be helpful followed by Sri Aurbindo's book, Our Many Selves. I rated it a 4 because it is written in the guru-disciple, Q & A format which general audiences may find somewhat awkward. The vocabulary uses terms-of-art from many other spiritual traditions that may be unfamiliar to the casual reader, especially since there is great depth to their meanings.

This is an excellent book for anyone who is interested in universal principles that reaches beyond the worlds great religions. Aurobindo is masterful at presenting the material in a relevant and user friendly fashion. I will use this book as a resource for my Science of Mind classes and share it in my enewsletters.

This yoga is a vision of one man, everyone need to take care and go back to the sources to see if they agree with this vision.. Not bad but in my opinion not totally right, read it and see by yourself other vision

This book talks about an evolution of Spiritualism.Sri Aurobindo writes 'Whole life is Yoga'.It means one should live a life in continuous meditation.It brings tolerance, love, kindness, forgiveness and peace.Spirituality is a only thing by which one can preach the seeds of Global Peace.This is a good collection and worth to have it in our personal library rather in our heart.

Anspruchsvoll und doch zugänglich. Tiefgang mit Weitsicht. Eins der besten Yogabücher überhaupt. Ein strenger und doch warmherziger Lehrer. Er greift die relevanten und essentiellen Themen auf, die westliche Yogaschulen mit ihrer reduzierten Entspannungsyogatendenz nur sehr selten erfassen.

Book in excellent condition and arrived on time.

A treasure of good meditation technique amalgamated with spiritual pathways. Going through the book is journeying through the wonderlands of perfect knowledge. Having this book in ones hand generates a peaceful sensation of happiness and joy. I thank Amazon in for their prompt delivery, nice packing and genuine product.
