ARTArticleA Change of Consciousness Is Necessary for Solving the Issues of Human ExistenceSince the Renaissance, the Western world has put its faith in, and based its goals on the power of the human intellect and vital drive to uplift humanity and solve the problems we face. Tremendous changes have taken place and humanity has made progress in fields as diverse as atomic physics, biochemistry and quantum theory, as well as gaining insight into the need for hygiene and dietary sufficiency, and fields relating to energy, transport, communication, education, and other subject areas too numerous to mention.ARTArticleA Change of the Outer Nature Requires First a Change in the Inner BeingThe physical body (actually the entire material world) is subject to habits, and change tends to come slowly. Our being, however, is made up of a series of sheaths which progress from the subtle to the gross physical and thus, any attempt to make a change to the more outward sheaths, the physical, the vital and the mental included, must begin at the more subtle levels of the inner being. The more subtle an energetic field is, the more pliable it can be, and the more powerfully it acts upon the next more outward sheath.ARTArticleA First Step in the Transformative Evolution on EarthWe can envision multiple potential future developments in the evolutionary process on earth. One of these involves the manifestation of an entirely new level of consciousness, the supramental, and its creation of a new species, which we may call homo supramentalis for the sake of differentiation, to embody this consciousness and carry out its role. Another one involves the pressure or influence of the supramental to uplift, widen and perfect the action of the mental consciousness. In this latter case, several options also arise.ARTArticleA Spiritual Look at the Covid-19 PandemicWe are living in an unprecedented time when people all over the world feel forced to deal with an invisible threat—the Covid-19 virus. This raises many questions, such as, Why is this happening? Is God punishing humanity? What will the future hold? and How can I survive this? Indeed, the pandemic makes us ask the big, essential questions. And we are hungry for the answers, especially as we see the number of coronavirus cases and deaths rising daily.ARTArticleA Supramental Race as the Next Evolutionary PhaseIf we understand the development of life and life-forms on earth as an expression of the evolution of consciousness, we can easily see the relationship between a new power of consciousness and the need to have forms that can hold, and express, that power effectively. Scientists frequently comment on the changes in primates that accompanied the development of man, the mental being. This included development of an opposable thumb, standing and walking upright on two legs, and increased brain size and complexity.ARTArticleA Transitional Phase of Work in the Integral YogaFor the practitioner of the integral yoga, any form of work represents an opportunity to discard the normal, habitual mode of action and replace it with the direct action of the Divine Force. This transition, however, is neither immediate nor completed all at once, so there is inevitably a phase where the mind, vital being and physical body continue to respond and act as they have been doing, and where incremental changes in the way they respond can aid in the change that is required.ARTArticleA Transitional Phase of Work in the Integral YogaFor the practitioner of the integral yoga, any form of work represents an opportunity to discard the normal, habitual mode of action and replace it with the direct action of the Divine Force.

There comes a time when the recognition comes that active intervention cannot achieve what an opening or receptivity to the higher Force can provide. This makes sense when one reflects on it. The ‘mind-stuff’ (citta) reacts both to inbound perceptions and impulses and to mental process.ARTArticleAdvanced Methods for Converting Work into Karma YogaSri Aurobindo explores the methods of converting work into ‘karma yoga’ with several additional ways to approach this. The development of an inner ‘witness consciousness’, the purusha which is separate from the outer active nature, prakriti, is an intermediate stage beyond those which involve the individual remembering before and after the work takes place. Cultivation of this inner separation can aid both in developing a sense of constant peace as well as in being able to manage the reactions and responses of the outer nature eventually.ARTArticleAdwaita Vedanta (Mayavada) and Integral Non-Dualism: Contrasting Interpretations of the Nature of Reality“One without a second.” This Upanishadic dictum forms the basis of Shankara’s philosophy of Adwaita, Vedantic non-dualism. The seeker leaves behind the illusion of the world to merge into the pure, transcendent Oneness of the Brahman. Sri Aurobindo proposes non-dualism, however, that adds the second great Upanishadic dictum “All this is the Brahman” to create an integral non-dualism that does not treat the world as something unreal to be abandoned to achieve realisation.ARTArticleAll You need to Know about 1st house in Horoscope1st house The twelve bhavas of Jyotish are organized in a diamond chart. The Houses have supported our Earth’s 24-hour rotation conce ing its axis. The twelve bhavas or houses of Jyotish are symbolic of all the departments that form up to human life. The houses are the place wherever energies will possibly to manifest. The houses are the fields of experience.ARTArticleAmazing Gemstone Remedies For Your ProblemsNature-bestowed gems are filled with amazing divine and supe atural powers. When wearing these gems, they enter the rays of the respective planet into the human body and give them healing. This increases the flow of positive energy in humans and they succeed in tasks. If a couple is childless, the husband should wear a yellow topaz weighing 5 carats in the right forefinger finger in a gold ring and wife in the index finger of the left hand, put 8 golden hemp gemstones in a silver ring. This fulfills the desire to have children.r ARTArticleAn Integral Yoga involves Knowledge, Devotion, Works and Self-PerfectionThe integral yoga takes as its goal something far different than most of the individual yogic paths. The goal here is not liberation from the world, dissolution of the individual, or renunciation of action. Rather, the integral yoga calls for the liberation of the nature and the transformation of the human instrument to become a ready and receptive instrument of the divine action in the world. The ego-personality must be surrendered in order to create the necessary openness and responsiveness to the divine implementation.ARTArticleAn Opportunity to Free Yourself from Your “Normal” LifeEvery year, when the Jewish holiday of Passover rolls around, I think about the places in my life where I feel stuck. I consider how to move through these places to freedom. This year is no different. What is different, though, is the number of people who feel unable to move forward due to the coronavirus pandemic. Their “normal” life has been put on hold.ARTArticleAnger changes your life!Anger arises when we don't remember or perceive the truth. Decisions involve the memory,intellect and intuition. Say,u had a good experience of eating ice-cream. That is there in the memory. Now, if someone offers u Ice-cream,u take a decision to eat it based on your memory and the intellect. The intellect questions-should I eat it? It then comes to a conclusion to eat as u liked it in the past(memory).ARTArticleApproaching the Transition from Human Love to Divine LoveThere has been a strong impulse among many spiritual or religious traditions to reject all manifestations of human love as flawed and imperfect expressions of what love is intended to be in the Divine viewpoint. It is of course evident that most of what passes for love in the world has its deformations, weaknesses and failures. Yet, it is possible to identify the kernel that represents a deeper and truer impulse. The question then arises whether the manifestations of human love should be denied, or, possibly, uplifted and purified.ARTArticleAre We Truly the “United” States?What is the inherent nature of the universe: unity or discord? Are we doomed to be battlers all our lives? Are we victims of circumstance? Is the world becoming less or more united? Converging technologies and economies would seem to inevitably bring us all closer, yet the opposite is happening. Practically every industry and segment of our society is becoming more entrenched. Political divisions, racial divisions, and religious passions are intensifying, defying all predictions and expectations of the shrinking boundaries of our global village.ARTArticleAre You Hijacking Your Happiness?When I think about the importance of gratitude a popular refrain from Joni Mitchell’s hit, Big Yellow Taxi comes to mind. “Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone. They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.” The song has been covered by numerous bands throughout the years and its message is as relevant now as ever. Some consider it a protest song against corporate greed and a wakeup call to protect the environment. I embrace that message, but I also see the song as a call to action to appreciate what we have in our lives.ARTArticleAspiration, Spiritual Experience, and the Response of the Divine ForceIn his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo concisely outlines the processes and steps of the integral yoga. The progress is based on a two-fold collaboration between the individual Soul and the divine Force, brought about through a tuning process for the human individual through what is called aspiration, and a responsive energy from the Divine which enters the being once it is properly tuned and prepared to receive it.ARTArticleAstrological Remedies For Business ProblemAstrological Remedies: Business Problemr Remedies for business success: Place a figurine of an owl in the locker or cupboard where you keep your money.
