    ABOUT INTEGRAL YOGA HERSHAYOGA.COM The Goal of Integral Yoga The goal of Integral Yoga and the birthright of every individual is to realise the spiritual unity behind all the diversities of the entire creation and to live harmoniously as members of one universal family. This goal is achieved by developing: a body of optimum health and strength senses under total control a mind well-disciplined, clear and calm an intellect as sharp as a razor a will as strong and pliable as steel a heart full of unconditional love and compassion an ego as pure as crystal and a life filled with Supreme Peace and Joy Integral yoga is a combination of specific methods designed to develop every aspect of the individual: physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual. It is a scientific system, which integrates the various branches of Yoga in order to bring about a complete and harmonious development of the individual. Hatha Yoga: Bodily postures (asanas), deep relaxation, breath control (Pranayama), cleansing processes (kriyas), and mental concentration create a supple and relaxed body; increased vitality; and radiant health. As the body and mind become purified and the practitioner gains mastery over his or her mind, he or she finally attains the goal of Yoga, Self-Realisation. Karma Yoga: The path of action through selfless service. By performing duty without attachment or desire for the results of action, the Karma Yogi purifies his or her mind. When the mind and heart are purified, the Karma Yogi becomes an instrument through which the Divine Plan or Work is performed. Thereby he or she transcends his or her individuality and experiences the Divine Consciousness.

  • The Rise of Bengali Yoga (Excerpt from Sun, Moon and Earth: the Sacred Relationship of Yoga and Ayurveda)
    The Rise of Bengali Yoga (Excerpt from Sun, Moon and Earth: The Sacred Relationship of Yoga and Ayurveda) By Mas Vidal To set the stage for a moment, the state of Bengal is an eastern state of India and is one of the most densely populated regions on the planet. It is home to the Ganges river delta at the confluence of the Brahmaputra and Meghna rivers. Rivers have always been a sacred part of yoga and the Indian lifestyle. The capital of Bengal is Kolkata, which was the center of the Indian independence movement. As yoga began to expand at the turn of the century through the 1950s, as a counter-cultural force opposed to British occupation, the region also struggled against a tremendous set-back, the Great Bengal Famine of 1943- 44, which took an estimated two to three million lives. India battled through this and eventually gained independence in 1947. Bengal managed to become a womb for bhakti yogis and the nectar that would sustain the renaissance of yoga in India and across the globe. Bengali seers like Sri Aurobindo promoted yoga as an integral system, a way of life that cultivated a dynamic relationship between mind, body, and soul. Some of the many styles of yoga that provide this pure synthesis remain extant in India, but only through a few living yoga teachers and lineages. This synthesis may even still exist sporadically in commercial yoga. One of the most influential figures of yoga in the West was Paramahansa Yogananda, who formulated a practical means of integrating ancient themes and techniques for the spiritual growth of people in Western societies, and for Eastern cultures to reestablish their balance between spirituality and the material.

Condescend to accept this humble flower, fragrant with the aroma of thine own divine glory, immeasurable and infinite. Hundreds of savants and scholars might write hundreds of tomes on your glory, yet it would still transcend them all. In accordance with thine ancient promise: yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata abhyutthanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham paritranaya sadhoonam vinasaya cha dushkritam dharmasamsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge (Gita IV–7, 8) You, the Supreme Being, the all-pervading Sat-chidaranda-Para-Brahman, have taken this human garb and come into this world to re-establish Dharma (righteousness). The wonderful transformation you have brought about in the lives of millions all over the world is positive proof of your Divinity. I am honestly amazed at my own audacity in trying to bring this Supreme God, Bhagavan Sivananda, to the level of a human being (though Sage Valmiki had done so while narrating the story to Lord Rama) and to describe the Yoga of the Yogeshwareshwara, the goal of all Yogins. Lord! I cling to Thy lotus-feet and beg for Thy merciful pardon.

Sri Aurobindo who was an Indian Yogi, Philosopher, Guru, gave the concept of a new form of yogic philosophy being not satisfied with the approaches of traditional yogic philosophies. He called his yoga ‘Purna Yoga’ or ‘Integral Yoga’. This yoga aims at the conscious union with the Divine in the supermind and the transformation of the nature. It is a collective yoga that transforms life universally. This paper is and attempt to study and understand the philosophy and approach of the Integral Yoga and try to understand the differences of Integral yoga with the traditional yoga approaches. Keywords: Integral yoga, Indian yogi, Purna yoga, yoga approaches Introduction Sri Aurobindo developed a new method of yoga which subsequently became known as Integral Yoga because he felt that all other branches of yoga were not adequate for the realisation of the totality of the truth. Sri Aurobindo’s concept of the integral yoga is very comprehensive. He had a clear system of practice that he called integral yoga, as it was based on a synthesis of different paths of yoga.

If one peruses the texts he has written pertaining to his teaching, one finds a variety of models, goals, and practices which may be termed formulations or versions of the integral yoga. This article compares three such formulations, aiming to determine whether these are the same, but in different words, as meant for different audiences, or whether they represent different understandings of the yoga based on changing perceptions.

  • Connecting Thought and Action for Beginners: a Meditation on Integral Philosophy and Experiments in the Yoga of Love, Action, Knowledge
    Connecting Thought and Action for Beginners: A Meditation on Integral Philosophy and Experiments in the Yoga of Love, Action, Knowledge Maureen Dolan1 Abstract: This paper has a two-fold purpose: to examine some of the main precepts in chosen works of Sri Aurobindo and Dr. Haridas Chaudhuri regarding the philosophical basis for integral understanding and to describe concrete ways to introduce the integral paradigm into practice in the U.S. within a particular undergraduate course titled Body, Mind, Spirit: Yoga and Meditation at DePaul University in Chicago. The introduction includes a brief description of the cultural milieu of 21st century American realities for adult students, identifying some of the conditions which can serve as impetuses to integral thought and action. The main text contains certain basic tenets of integral wisdom, which combine Eastern and Western thought in revolutionary ways, and examples from an introduction of integral yoga into higher education for adult learners. This can serve those who are just beginning to explore integral being and evolutionary action through intellectual, psychological, physical, and spiritual pursuits and those who already teach the integration of love-action-knowledge. Keywords: Haridas Chaudhuri, integral yoga, integral education, integral philosophy, Sri Aurobindo. Introduction The true and full object and utility of Yoga can only be accomplished when the conscious Yoga…becomes, like the subconscious Yoga in Nature, outwardly conterminous with life itself and we can once more, looking out both on the path and the achievement, say in a more perfect and luminous sense: ‘All life is yoga.’”(Ghose, 1990a, p. 4) We are presently living through some of the greatest transitions on the planet.
