Dictionary of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga

In the “Dictionary of Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga” M.P. Pandit has done a great service in aiding the reader in obtaining a deeper and more complete understanding of the concepts of Sri Aurobindo‘s Yoga. Sri Aurobindo writes about universal concepts based on the ancient wisdom of the Indian civilization and the path of yoga to establish a Life Divine here on our planet. This dictionary explains the terms used by the master and is an invaluable guide for a clearer understanding of his works.

How do I Proceed?

Book of M.P. Pandit “How do I Proceed?” is a sequel to the earlier How Do I Begin? This book presents a working outline of the scope, the practice and the goal of the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. The treatment is more on the practical side of the Yoga than its philosophical content.

How do I Begin?

A primer of affrirmative Spirituality

In the book “How do I Begin?” M.P. Pandit gives a brief but highly practical overview of how to enter on spiritual path by the one who has inner earning but is lacking practical experience. In simple and precise terms Panditji deals with basic elements which constitute daily activities of every man: his outer surroundings, inner psychology and mundane actions. The great value of “How do I Begin?” is that according to author’ words the practitioner of yoga does not have to withdraw himself from his duties and family relations into distant ashram in order to practice spiritual discipline.

The Mother’s Agenda (Full English Text)

The Mother’s Agenda

The Mother’s Agenda is the complete logbook of her exploration in the cellular consciousness of her body, recorded by Satprem, a disciple of the Mother, in the course of numerous personal conversations with her. It covers 23 years of experiences which parallel some of the most recent theories of modern physics, and are perhaps the key to man’s passage to the next species.

De Synthese van Yoga | Sri Aurobindo

Sri Aurobindo’s voornaamste werk over Yoga. In dit boek onderzoekt Sri Aurobindo de traditionele systemen van Yoga en geeft uitleg over bepaalde onderdelen van zijn eigen systeem van Integrale Yoga. Er is een Inleiding, “De Voorwaarden van de Synthese”, en vier delen: “De Yoga van Goddelijke Werken”, “De Yoga van Integrale Kennis”, “De Yoga van Goddelijke Liefde” en “De Yoga van Zelf-Perfectie”. Het materiaal werd voor het eerst in serie gepubliceerd in het maandblad Arya tussen 1914 en 1921; de Inleiding en de eerste twee delen werden later herzien door Sri Aurobindo voor publicatie.

Beyond Man

The Life and Work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother

The book “Beyond Man” by Georges van Vrekhem is based on documents which have never been presented before as a whole by other authors. It gives a surprising look behind the scenes of the history of this century. It presents a positive evaluation of the crisis our Earth is subject to at this very moment and it opens a vertiginous but hopeful perspective on the coming of a superhuman species and a divine life upon Earth.

Elements of Yoga

Elements of Yoga by Sri Aurobindo is a compilation of Sri Aurobindo’s replies to elementary questions about Yoga raised by a disciple during the years 1933 to 1936. It was first published in 1953 and reissued in 1956. In 1991 the text was reproduced as the first part of Commentaries on “Elements of Yoga” by the Mother. Elements of Yoga is now being issued independently again in a second edition.

Conversations with Sri Aurobindo

“Conversations with Sri Aurobindo” is Pavitra’s personal diary where he was recording his meeting with Sri Aurobindo which were held from December 18, 1925 to November 20, 1926. Book starts from the description of the first meeting of Pavitra with Sri Aurobindo. Each entry of this unique diary revals new depths of wisdom and yogic experience which Sri Aurobindo shares with his disciple. Pavitra, a French engineer of the Polytechnic School, arrived at Pondicherry on the 17th of December, 1925, having come from a Mongolian lamasery where his spiritual search had driven him, after his having spent four years in Japan. He never left Pondicherry again, where he lived for forty-four years in the service of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. He left his body on May 16, 1969. These brief conversations were noted from memory, most of the time in French, except towards the end. Hence, they do not represent the exact words of the Master, but are as faithful a record as possible. Pavitra was then 31 years old.

The Supramental Manifestation upon Earth

Sri Aurobindo wrote these eight essays, his last prose writings, in 1949 and 1950 for publication in the quarterly Bulletin of Physical Education (at present called the Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education). They reveal a vision which includes the perfection of the body as an instrument of the action of the spirit, the nature and structure of a divine body and the conditions and operations of its life on earth, the manifestation of a supramental truth-consciousness as the basis for a divine life upon earth, and the creation of a new humanity possessed of a mind of light.
