Integral Yoga

“Yoga is nothing but practical psychology.” Sri Aurobindo Integral Yoga is a yoga of Earth-transformation. Its aim is not an escape from life or a shunning of worldly existence but a transformative change in our life even while living amidst it. It is a yoga that can be done anywhere and by anyone, regardless of his outer antecedents. One need not be a brilliant intellectual or a woman with astounding capacities to be an entrant into this Path. Nor are we called upon to leave our vocations or abandon our work and present station or change outer situations, but to see them in a New Light and to act upon them with a New Consciousness. In accordance with Integral Yoga, there is a right balance between the soul and nature, a poignant harmony between the inner and outer life, a divine rhythm between who we presently are and what we can become in the Future. Consequently, the seeker of this path focuses on the discovery of the Divine Presence within and behind creation and, as well, works upon his nature so that it becomes an increasingly fit instrument and channel and vessel of the growing divine consciousness and power within. An inner perfection is not enough; the outer nature too must share the growing perfection within. The program focuses on doing research in many directions towards philosophical and conceptual framework for integral Yoga and its practices.
