Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

"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.
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.
The book throws light on the nature of various inner powers which
we already possess and use more or less unconsciously, as well as
with latent powers within, which are as yet undeveloped. The book
is of interest to the general reader as well as to the spiritual
seeker.
In-depth study of the concepts of rebirth, karma and the higher
lines of karma. One of the best introductions to this area we have
ever found. Index.
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.
