From the arrival of the first children in the Ashram in the early 1940s the Mother took a keen interest in their development. In this book the author recounts how the Mother helped her from an early age to develop the qualities of leadership and strength of character. At the same time, the book provides an inside look at the beginnings of the physical education activities. Also included are descriptions of the Mother's work from 1950 to 1954 with the youngest children and the genesis of her French classes with them. The author has collected the dictations, recitations and poems, stories, and translations used in class as well as a record of other topics that arose. The Mother's method of teaching and the manner in which she instilled discipline and inspired a thirst for progress in the children are revealed in these pages.

Formerly a research psychologist in the USA, the author conducted a qualitative study of sixteen long-term practitioners of the Integral Yoga working in the fields of business management, education, health care, and the arts. Initial chapters frame his research methodology and examine some general findings regarding the participants' practice of the Yoga in work. Results of the study in each field are based largely on interviews with the participants, and include textual references from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and the author's reflections on central themes and common experiences. The final chapter identifies the various principles and insights regarding the application of Integral Yoga in these four professional fields and presents some of the broader implications of the study.

The Clasp of Civilizations 
Globalization and Religion in a Multicultural World
— Richard Hartz

Situating the Parliament of Religions, held in Chicago in 1893, as one of the first instances of a global cultural event, this collection of essays springboards into a discussion of globalisation and religion in our multicultural world. The book examines the factors in play as many of the old barriers to global movement and communication have dissolved or crumbled and a new interdependence has emerged, engendering a volatility filled with both promise and pitfalls. Sri Aurobindo’s writings on human unity and social and political development form the basis of the dialogue and discourse presented here. His vision of a spiritual religion of humanity, the growth of an inner spirit of oneness and unity that will become the dominant principle of life, informs the message of the book.

Telugu translation of The Practice of the Integral Yoga

Description of content for original work:
        This comprehensive treatise on the effective practice of the Integral Yoga as propounded by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is an outcome of the author’s many years of practice, deep reflection, and inner experience. Combining the clear, analytical thought of a scientist with the psychic insightfulness of a sadhak, the author brings together some of the most helpful quotes from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, weaving them into his text in ways which make each chapter a lucid and authentic guide on how to understand and practise the Integral Yoga. Key chapters discuss the triune principles of aspiration, rejection, and surrender; the central role of the Divine Grace; some important elements of the paths of works, love, and knowledge; and the perfection of the human instrumentality.

Individuo e Società 
— Sri Aurobindo e Mère
ISBN: 978-93-5210-105-4
Publisher: Domani, Pondicherry
Binding: Soft Cover
Pages: 52
Price: Rs 120

L’evoluzione non è solo individuale, ma anche collettiva. Ogni possibilità di aggregazione sociale deve essere manifestata sulla terra, affinché sia vissuta e portata alla sua massima espressione, così che l’uomo possa coglierne tutte le potenzialità ma anche gli inevitabili limiti, che porteranno la collettività umana alla ricerca di nuovi, più evoluti, assetti sociali.

In questo libretto Sri Aurobindo descrive l’evoluzione collettiva attraverso le varie esperienze di aggregazione sociale recenti: Democrazia, Socialismo, Capitalismo, Collettivismo, tutte ancora insufficienti a soddisfare le richieste di una nuova società spiritualizzata.

Nonostante i brani riportati siano stati scritti da Sri Aurobindo negli anni dal 1915 al 1918, con alcune note aggiunte nel 1950, essi sono più che mai attuali e non può che colpire il fatto che, con l’anticipo di oltre un secolo, Sri Aurobindo abbia in sostanza previsto quanto poi sarebbe successo, come il collasso del Comunismo e la barbarie economico-vitale dell’uomo moderno.

Quanto al ruolo dei singoli individui, l’emersione dell’elemento psichico sarà la condizione alla base del cambiamento sociale.
