Sri Aurobindo and His Integral Yoga

Most of the yoga only develops a single aspect of the being, and have as their aim a state of liberation or transcendence. But the aim of integral yoga is the transformation of the entire being. Because of this, the various elements of one's make-up - Physical, Vital, Mental, Psychic, and Spiritual, and the means of their transformation, are described in great detail by Sri Aurobindo. He in this way formulates an entire integral psychology. So the goal is the transformation of the entire nature of one's being. Nothing is left behind. Sri Aurobindo is very much relevant in this twenty first century where science and spirituality should go side by side. His teaching and philosophy is important if human being wants to live in peace and harmony. The scientific development, only for the materialistic progress, will not be able to achieve the permanent peace in the world but simultaneously it is very much necessary to uplift the human being through spirituality.
