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.

In essence, evolution is the progressive emergence of higher levels
of consciousness. With the appearance of man, evolution has become
an increasingly more conscious and accelerated process, in contrast
to the pre-human stages. Inner growth is the rapid process of
conscious evolution.

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.
Sri Aurobindo stands out as one of the deepest and most profoundly
relevant of contemporary Asian spiritual masters speaking to the
West. His vision transcends the distinctive strengths and
weaknesses of India and the West, and his discipline brings the
yogas of the Gita to the task of world transformation. His
collaborator, The Mother, offers a blueprint for the utopian
community Auroville, giving sage advice on the ideal of a
spiritually based approach to education. Robert McDermott's
afterword in this revised edition recounts the increased
significance of Aurobindo's message in the West-especially for
America-since the book was first published in 1973. Here is an
invaluable resource for understanding the underlying connections
and common ground between Eastern and Western teachings and
traditions for modern thinkers and spiritual seekers.
