AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

To the best of my knowledge, the term “Integral Yoga” was introduced by Sri Aurobindo. How can others use this name? I came across a YouTube channel named “Integral Yoga” and assumed it would be related to Sri Aurobindo, but it turned out to belong to some Swami Satchidananda ๐Ÿ˜

It is true that there are at least two organisations or gurus who have used these words integral yoga as well as Divine Life giving them a completely different meaning. One of them even wanted to file a lawsuit for patenting it! When it was pointed out to him that Sri Aurobindo used the term even before he was born, then he simply backed off as far as patenting is concerned. Anyways, to each his own path. Thankfully the Divine is not fooled by claims people make. As to the seekers they eventually reach where they are destined for.ย 

Affectionstely,

Alok Da

The Mother and Sri Aurobindo laughed at the stupidity of religous conversions. They saw Religion as a spent force which is destined to be overpassed by the growing spiritual impulse in man. The upsurge of conversions, whatever its temporary success is destined to fail. The evolving human soul cannot be satisfied for long in any …
