Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the integral vision of human development contained in the original works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. It delves into multiple layers of the human personality as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother and explores a new developmental science of consciousness based on the practice of Integral Yoga. The book examines the major metatheoretical conceptions that shape the contemporary discipline of developmental psychology and discusses the ways in which Sri Aurobindo’s philosophical and psychological perspective can help break fresh ground for developmental theorisation and research by extending the current understanding of the human evolutionary potential. The author proposes a new agenda for human development which brings together the key ideas of integral individual and collective development and informs practices in the areas of counselling, education, parenting and self-development. This book will be of special interest for researchers of developmental psychology, human development, counselling psychology, philosophy, social work and education.

Download or read book The Essential Aurobindo written by Sri Aurobindo and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2001 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who wrote the Gospel of John? The author identifies himself only as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," and Christian tradition tells us that this disciple was the apostle John. However, during the past century, scholars have increasingly come to doubt that attribution. In 1902, Rudolf Steiner wrote that the author of the Gospel of John was in fact Lazarus. Steiner's position stemmed from his insight that Lazarus's encounter with death involved far more than people realized--an initiation into higher spiritual realities that uniquely qualified him to write this gospel. Edward Smith takes up this argument and shows that subsequent research has tended to favor Lazarus for reasons grounded in John's Gospel itself. More important, Smith shows that subsequent discoveries at Nag Hammadi and Mar Saba corroborate Steiner's reasoning about the nature of the raising of Lazarus, pointing to Lazarus as "the rich young ruler" of Mark's Gospel.

Download or read book The Vision and Work of Sri Aurobindo written by Kaikhushru Dhunjibhoy Sethna and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo stands for no narrow cult: he kindles a vision and initiates a work that bear on the whole human situation, meeting its most central and recurrent as well as its most external and diverse issues. Man in every mode and field – the thinker and the scientist no less than the artist and the mystic – man individual and man collective – the modern breaker of new ground side by side with the heir of the ages – is Sri Aurobindo's material for probing and guidance. Especially he is concerned with man the conscious evolving agent and with the powers within, around and beyond him that help or hinder steps towards true Supermanhood, a transformative evolution of the entire nature rather than a glorified extension of this or that group of qualities. The selections of the author's writings on the vision and work of Sri Aurobindo which have been put between the covers of this book were written with an eye to the wide world of inquiring minds and questioning hearts much in harmony with Sri Aurobindo's own global vision. Five new pieces have been added to this revised and enlarged edition; one of them is a short poem to whose opening lines the Mother paid highest possible compliment from a spiritual point of view. Many of the essays have been seen and approved for publication by Sri Aurobindo himself.
