Groomed in a modern academic tradition and post-Enlightenment
ideals of creative freedom and social critique, Sri Aurobindo
(1872-1950) turned his attention to yoga and the limits of
consciousness in its ability to relate to and transform nature. In
the process, he documented scrupulously his experiments and
experiences based on a synergistic existential framework of
practice. Debashish Banerji correlates the approach to yoga Sri
Aurobindo took in his diaries with his later writings, to derive a
description of human subjectivity and its powers. Banerji
constellates Sri Aurobindo's approach with transpersonal psychology
and contemporary lineages of phenomenology and ontology, to develop
a transformative yoga psychology redefining the boundaries and
possibilities of the human and opening up lines of self-practice
towards a wholeness of being and becoming. Both scholar and Yogi,
Aurobindo (1872-1950) carefully documented the unfolding of
spiritual consciousness starting shortly after his deep revelatory
experiences while in prison in 1908. His observations were recently
published in a two volume set, The Record of Yoga. Debashish
Banerji has analyzed this work and offers a detailed, clear,
systematic and inspirational interpretation of how the Yoga of Sri
Aurobindo may be understood and practiced. S From the 'Foreword' of
Prof. Christopher Key Chapple Doshi Professor of Indic and
Comparative Theology Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles,
(USA).
