Selected Works Of M P Pandit Sri Aurobindo

Sri M.P. Pandit has provided us a brief overview and introduction to the teaching of Sri Aurobindo. The ideal of a perfected human being, living in a perfected society, has been one of the aspirations of mankind since time immemorial. Sri Pandit was secretary to the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and a prolific writer and lecturer on Sri Aurobindo’s yoga. This book introduces Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy, yoga and social & political thought, along with an overview of his analysis and understanding of the classical texts of the Vedas, the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita.

Compiled from talks and writings by the author to various groups of people, this book is a series of homilies on how to live a life of harmony, beauty, and joy. The subjects covered include some preliminary conditions to be satisfied before one begins any serious practice of yoga, how to incorporate some of the Mother s teachings into one s daily life, and life lessons learned by the author in the course of his own spiritual practice.

Yoga is not divorced from the destiny and life of the world. Issues of world unity, peace, and the evolution of life and society are covered in this volume.

Sri Pandit gives us an overview of Sri Aurobindo's life, his writings and his Integral Yoga. In doing so, he takes time to introduce the major principles of yoga and relates in a simple yet dynamic form the path open to the seekers of spiritual perfection.

This book presents an outline of the scope, practice, and goal of the integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo, stressing more of its practical side than its philosophical content. The author begins with the three basic processes of the Yoga: aspiration for the Divine, rejection of all contrary movements, and surrender of one's will to the Divine Will on each level of one's being. The next chapters deal with ways one may approach the Yoga, and the final chapter discusses the key role of the psychic being in the sadhana.

Panditji has written extensively on the practice of yoga. This collection of his writings on the subject include introductory insights as well as extensive systematic explications on the various methods of yoga.

Sri Aurobindo represents a synthesis of the teachings of both the West and the East. Not content simply with dissolution into a transcendental, other-worldly God-consciousness, nor with concentration on the outer life and its powers to the exclusion of anything other or higher, Sri Aurobindo has created the teachings of a Divine Life on Earth. This is the second book of the series.
