AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Can you suggest me a book written by a sadhak other than Sri Aurobindo and The Mother to understand the practical aspects of integral yoga deeply?⏬✨🧭🌻

You can read books by Rishabh Chand ‘In the Mother’s Light’. There is a good compilation on ‘Practical Guide to The Integral Yoga’ which is also good. There are some books by MP Pandit on practical aspects of the sadhana. There are small compilations in All India Magazine that one can chose from. Best would be go through the SABDA Website Catalogue and shortlist few based on your interest and inclination. But if you ask me frankly I would suggest just read Sri Aurobindo’s Letters on Yoga and Collected Works of the Mother. This is so because the integral yoga is an all-inclusive yoga aiming at transformation of all the different aspects of life. So everything in life including work, studies, games, art, relationships can and should become part of the Yogic practice. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Truth, Harmony, Peace, Beauty, Delight, Strength are aspects of the Divine Nature which can be acquired by the persistent practice of aspiration, rejection (of the animal tendencies), surrender to the Divine Mother. …

Yes, The Mother remarked once when a disciple died that She saw Sri Aurobindo’s symbol stamped on her forehead and the great assurance that he gave for all who died in the Ashram would not go through the realms one passes after death.
