Beginning with an overview of Sri Aurobindo's life and thought, this scholarly work then analyses the metaphysical background of the Integral Yoga, its origins and objectives, its distinctive characteristics, and its synthesis of the inherent truths of traditional systems of yoga. The author then introduces Sri Aurobindo's method of sadhana, explains its essential requisites, and looks at some of the complexities and difficulties one may experience during sadhana. The final chapter studies the impact of globalisation on human society, religious fundamentalism as a source of conflict, and how the Integral Yoga may offer a possible response to these issues. It concludes with a consideration of how the Integral Yoga can enrich Christian spirituality.
