"Truth of philosophy is of a merely theoretical value unless it can
be lived, and we have therefore tried in The Synthesis of Yoga to
arrive at a synthetical view of the principles and methods of the
various lines of spiritual self-discipline and the way in which
they can lead to an integral divine life in the human existence."

Sri Aurobindo breaks new ground in interpreting the ancient Vedas.
His deeper insight into this came from his own spiritual practices
for which he found vivid allegorical descriptions in the Vedas. The
hidden meaning of the rig Veda is revealed with numerous
translations and commentary. Many have been perplexed by the
reverence accorded to the Vedas when they read past commentaries or
translations. Sri Aurobindo was able to uncover the mystery of the
double meanings, the inner psychological and yogic significance and
practices and the consistent, clear sense brought by this
psychological view of the Vedic hymns. Finally, the true inner
meaning of the Veda and its relevance to the seeking after
self-realization and enlightenment is revealed.
In-depth study of the concepts of rebirth, karma and the higher

The Bhagavad Gita, literally "The Song of God," is one of the most
important spiritual and religious texts of the world, and is to
Hindus what the Torah is to Jews, the Bible to Christians, and the
Quran to Moslems. With text, translation, and Sri Aurobindo's
commentary, this is probably the finest translation and commentary
on the Bhagavad Gita that we have seen.
Many of us face the difficulty of trying to change something in our nature, only to find that it is either difficult or virtually impossible. We struggle, try to suppress various actions, only to have these actions rebound on us and cause feelings of failure, shame, guilt or frustration. The key to solving this problem actually lies in a deeper understanding of the true nature of our psychological being. We are actually composed of various different "parts" or "planes" of action that combine together, interact with one another and impinge upon one another. This understanding allows us to differentiate between a mental idea, a force of will, an emotional movement, a vital energy, or a physical structure, and thereby more clearly understand the results of our psychological efforts and growth activities.
In this epic spiritual poem, Sri Aurobindo reveals his vision of
mankind's destiny within the universal evolution. He sets forth the
optimistic view that life on earth has a purpose, and he places our
travail within the context of this purpose: to participate in the
evolution of consciousness that represents the secret thread behind
life on Earth.
The Upanishads is a collection of Sri Aurobindo's final
translations of and commentaries on every Upanishad or other
Vedantic text he worked on. Upanishads are the ancient treatises on
spiritual truths as envisioned by the seers, sages and rishis of
the civilization of India. Index.
