Abstract:
The goal of yoga is to become free of the cycle of birth and death and attain union with God. The soul that is afflicted with birth, death, sorrow, falsehood, disease and ignorance wants to escape from them. Sri Aurobindo who was an Indian Yogi, Philosopher, Guru, gave the concept of a new form of yogic philosophy being not satisfied with the approaches of traditional yogic philosophies. He called his yoga ‘Purna Yoga’ or ‘Integral Yoga’. This yoga aims at the conscious union with the Divine in the supermind and the transformation of the nature. It is a collective yoga that transforms life universally. This paper is and attempt to study and understand the philosophy and approach of the Integral Yoga and try to understand the differences of Integral yoga with the traditional yoga approaches.
