Abstract

Sri Aurobindo has been described as an adventure of consciousness. Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga rises to the highest level but also bring down the power of the highest into the lowest terms of consciousness. This Yoga aims at the conquest of the higher pinnacles of consciousness and crossing beyond mind and overmind to the supermind. Sri Aurobindo has provided us illuminating insights as to how Vedic Yoga has developed the long history of India a number of systems of Yoga, as also how there have been periods of specialization and also periods of synthesis. And his own synthesis of Yoga is an integration of the past systems and the new methods that he himself has discovered and perfected. This new synthesis embraces within its wider embrace the truth of the Vedic synthesis of the psychological being of man in its highest flights.
