Readings in Savitri Volume 10

Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol spans more than 900 pages and covers the gamut of human life and aspiration, the meaning of existence and the evolutionary development of consciousness. M.P. Pandit has systematically gone verse by verse through this epic and highlighted the sense and opened the meaning to us with his brief commentary or meditation on the themes thus revealed. Sri Pandit was secretary to the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. He wrote and lectured extensively on Sri Aurobindo’s yoga and the Mother’s transformational work.

The Teaching of Sri Aurobindo

In “The Teaching of Sri Aurobindo” M.P. Pandit has provided us a brief overview and introduction to the teaching of Sri Aurobindo. This book seeks to expose the principles of this High Teaching and to elaborate upon the truths of this Knowledge in their bearing on the significance of Man, Nature and God.

A Summary of Savitri

In the book “A Summary of Savitri” M.P. Pandit goes through Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol and provides us a systematic prose summary of the poem with its key issues, points and organization, opening up Sri Aurobindo’s master work in a useful and concise way.

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.

Life without Death

“Life without Death” is written by Satprem originally in French and published in 1985 under the title “La vie sans mort”. It is a follow-up to Mind of the Cells, co-written with Luc Venet, and provides a glimpse of Satprem in his post-Ashram life in this period.

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. Aan de Nederlandse vertaling zijn een aantal voetnoten toegevoegd om de gebruikte Sanskriet terminologie nader toe te lichten. © Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust 1970, Pondicherry, India

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.
