The Divine Mother and the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo
Debashish Banerji
Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was an Indian freedom fighter, philosopher and yogi who, with his spiritual partner Mirra Alfassa (aka The Mother) (1878-1973) practiced and taught a form of yoga known as the Integral Yoga. This retreat will introduce the lives of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and their teachings of the integral yoga. It will also introduce their vision of a future life on earth based on the transformation of consciousness through the practice of yoga. Workshops will include introductions to Sri Aurobindo’s synthesis of Indian traditions of yoga in his seven quartets of becoming and the Mother’s four austerities and four liberations.
Offered as 3 satsangs and 3 workshops (subject to change).
