Sri Aurobindo Studies

We look at yoga as an individual endeavor. We practice yoga, and we look for specific outcomes or results. It may be health, or it may be increased awareness, energy, power, and knowledge. It may be liberation from a world of illusion, it may be spiritual freedom, or it may be a realization of the Divine.
