he purpose of this list is to study the Synthesis of Yoga collectively
in
order to gain a better intellectual understanding of fundamentals of
Integral Yoga Sadhana as it is laid out in this work. Though the group
primarily caters to the needs of Integral Yoga sadhaks, with emphasis
on
sadhana, discussion with a philosophy and research orientation is not
restricted.
We study one chapter at a time on a biweekly basis. Summaries
for the
chapter under discussion (prepared by Dave Hutchinson) are first sent
out,
followed by a message on the chapter from a member of the group who
has
volunteered to work on the the chapter. This is followed by discussion
from
the members.
Group members are encouraged to read the current chapter before
entering
the discussion and to keep in mind that personal spiritual growth is
the
primary focus of discussion.
We encourag a lot of freedom in the contributions within the theme
of the
current chapter. Members may summarise, paraphrase, share
experiences, or
compare other writings of Sri Aurobindo.
