Integral Yoga

Integral Yoga 

Integral Yoga or Purna Yoga (translated from Sanskrit as a complete yoga), sometimes called Yoga Supermind This name refers to the teachings of Sri Aurobindo on the integration of all parts of the T here with the Divine, and treatment of all affected components to a state of harmony of the higher consciousness . 

Sri Aurobindo founded and established his own school in the early twentieth century as a way to find the integral of the Divine, at the end of which every man freed from ignorance and its consequences, in order to grasp the truth that is beyond human consciousness. He describes the nature and practice of Integral Yoga in his work "Synthesis of Yoga". Title clearly says that his yoga is yoga of synthesis, designed to harmonize parts of karma, jnana, and bhakti yoga, as described in the Bhagavad-Gita. It can be considered synthetic product of Vedanta and Tantra, as well as Western and Eastern approaches to spirituality. 

Many types of yoga, except, perhaps, Natya Yoga, develop only a single aspect of life and the ultimate goal of liberation and the state of transcendence. The aim is Integral Yoga is the transformation of all beings. Because of this, using different practices: physical, vital, mental, emotional and spiritual. Means of transformation of these components is described in detail by Sri Aurobindo, who formulates it all in his integral philosophy. The aim of Integral Yoga is the transformation of all beings, and no, that something is left unattended. 

From other mystical ways of the school of Sri Aurobindo distinguishes the recognition of the need to change the individual and the surrounding world. Thus, the integral Yoga is a two-track: in the foreground is a complete change and transformation of internal and external nature, and the second (not second in importance) spiritual realization of God or the transcendent or the Enlightenment. 

Sri Aurobindo believed this mental consciousness rights transit step in the evolution of the earth, and our civilization - only a step towards the greatest experience and opportunities Supermind. Sri Aurobindo believed Supermind principle, able to organize everything and to coordinate. This consciousness is enclosed in all creation, he believed, and sooner or later, one of the following stages of terrestrial evolution will manifest itself in the outside world. 

In integral psychology of Sri Aurobindo and his entire metaphysics, space is described only in two dimensions or differences. On the one hand suschestvueyut physical, vital, mental and higher transpersonal realities. At the same time, there are manifestations of an external entity, the inner essence and profound mental entities. So all this horizontal and vertical hierarchy of existence was to be transformed through integral yoga.
