Personal Review: Synthesis of Yoga, US Edition by Sri
Aurobindo
Of the many books available on Yoga in book stores today, very few deal
with the subject in any real depth. Most cater to the popular image of Yoga
as yoga postures for physical well-being. Few challenge the reader to a
deeper vision of Yoga or of their own inner nature. The Synthesis of Yoga
stands apart from the available literature on Yoga, expressing the soul of
Yoga to the deepest intelligence within us.

In fact, there are few works of such magnitude and comprehensiveness
about Yoga ever written, and probably nothing comparable in the English
language. Yet more importantly, this profound compendium on Yoga was
not written from an academic or scholarly perspective, or from the view of
those who work primarily with the physical yoga. It is a study of Yoga
written by one of the greatest yogis of modern India, Sri Aurobindo, who
has a reputation of spiritual greatness in India that exceeds Mahatma
Gandhi, Tagore and other more well known figures in the West. There is
probably no work of such scope and grandeur on Yoga available, and
none by an author who was speaking from his own direct experience and
realization.
The Synthesis of Yoga deals with Yoga as a means of Self-realization,
God-realization and the transformation of humanity. It addresses all the
classical yogic paths of knowledge, devotion, works and meditation,
including Raja Yoga in all of its aspects. In this book, the term "Integral
Yoga," first arises, combining all aspects of Yoga into a comprehensive
system for the full development of all of our potentials on all levels of our
being. The book shows the relevance of Yoga to all that we are, do, or are
meant to become.
As a student, teacher and writer on Yoga and related teachings for more
than thirty years, I cannot emphasize enough the importance at looking at
Yoga the deeper and integral manner that is so eloquently expressed in
the Synthesis of Yoga. It is recommended reading to all those who want to
approach deeper or inner aspects of Yoga. The book will transform your
idea of Yoga and open many new dimensions of practice and realization
for you that you had not previously considered possible. I don't think
anyone can seriously read the book and not come away without a sense of
the vastness of real Yoga practice. The book will provide you with a deep
understanding of the essence of Yoga, far beyond the common
stereotypes of yoga as a physical or psychological practice for personal
enhancement. The Synthesis of Yoga contains the keys for restoring Yoga
as a deep spiritual practice with both an ancient and a futuristic vision.
In these days in which Yoga has largely been reduced to an exercise or
fitness system, it is important to remember the spiritual orientation and
purpose that classical Yoga was all about. The Synthesis of Yoga does
this and much more, not from the ancient past or a poorly translated
foreign language, but from a master teacher of the modern world, an
eloquent poet and profound philosopher.
