Between 1927 and 1950, Sri Aurobindo remained in seclusion while perfecting a new kind of spiritual practice he called the Integral Yoga. During this period he gave detailed guidance to disciples and seekers, responding to thousands of inquiries. This correspondence constitutes a major body of work on the practice of yoga-sadhana. The present volume brings together a comprehensive selection of Sri Aurobindo's letters, organized by area of interest. An ideal introduction to his work and vision, it will also serve as an invaluable daily handbook for seekers of all paths - beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

Deep , IntenseMar 30, 2000
This is one deep book. Aurobindo is masterful in his analysis of the mind & brain, especially its limitations. As a person approaching everything in life via intellect I found his explanations right on the dot & revealing. He explains why we need to transcend our faculties to something higher. One can make more sense of the book if accompanied by spiritual practice & experience to relate to. Not for the faint hearted.

"Your life is your yoga."Oct 06, 2005
By Donna Miesbach
"Nebraska yogini"
If ever you've wondered how to integrate the living of your life into your spiritual practice so that your life can actually become your practice, then Aurobindo's "The Integral Yoga" is for you. Here is one of the few recent sages who not only saw beyond the beyond, but lived his life from that perspective. If you've been searching, but not finding answers, chances are that Aurobindo's cogent comments will more than meet that need as he walks you through what it means to lead a deeply spiritual life, and then shows you how to do it.

A rare findFeb 19, 2002
By Shawn Regan
I've seen this book referenced more than a dozen times by Wilber in his books so when the book presented itself I jumped
at it. It's not a book written by Aurobindo but personal instruction to those who have written to him seeking guidance.
This book is packed with the knowledge of one of India's most accomplished saints. This book reveals valuable insights
for the spiritual traveler as well as a road map of the journey. A book I would say is indispensable for anyone on
the path.

Yogic Ways to Conquer the Battle Called Life!Feb 23, 2003
By Samesh Braroo
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.

Has all the answersFeb 10, 2008
By Patty Clay
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.
