Sri Aurobindo and the Mother | Savitri, Integral Yoga, The Life Divine | Consciousness

#sriaurobindoashram #sriaurobindosociety #sriaurobindoandthemother #savitri #thegita #mystic My guest today is Santoshl Krinshy, author of twenty-one books, editor-in-chief of Lotus Press, and president of the Institute for Wholistic Education, a nonprofit devoted to integrating spirituality into daily life. He has been studying the writings of Sri Aurobindo since 1971 and was present at the ashram for The Mother’s final darshan—an experience that profoundly shaped his understanding of their work. In this conversation, we explore the arc of Sri Aurobindo’s life and teachings—from his pivotal mystical experience in prison to the vision he developed over the next forty years. At its heart is a radical idea: that consciousness itself is evolving, and humanity can consciously participate in that evolution. Called Integral Yoga, this path is not about escape from the world, but the transformation of life itself—the divinization of existence, here and now. Santosh Krinsky has been studying Sri Aurobindo's writings since 1971 and has a daily blog at http://sriaurobindostudies.wordpress.com Each of the major writings has its own FOLDER on the blog similar to the Savitri folder. For the other books (other than Savitri) they go sequentially page by page through the books with brief commentaries. The blog also has a search option where anyone can put in any subject/word/concept that they are interested in “supramental” or “hallucination” or “Mayavada” or whatever and find all the references to that term across ALL the books so they can see how it is treated in these different contexts and thereby provide a comprehensive response to the inquiry. We also provide text and page references with the blog posts so individuals can go to the original source material. He also has a podcast located at https://creators.spotify.com/pod/prof... He is author of 21 books and is editor-in-chief at Lotus Press and is president of Institute for Wholistic Education, a non-profit focused on integrating spirituality into daily life.
