Darshan greetings to all!

In this issue we present three in-depth articles on three different but related topics: India's role in the world's future, Sri Aurobindo's synthesis of the various systems of yoga, and an integral approach to management. We note that according to Sri Aurobindo, India's role in the world's future must be based on her rich spiritual heritage which integrated life in the world with spiritual realization. In our first article, Prabir Kumar Bagchi examines present India society in the light of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's recommendations. Sri Aurobindo's synthesis of yoga is precisely a system of yoga which aims at an integration of spirit and matter and a divine life on earth, and is a system based on the essence of India's spiritual traditions while also going beyond them as it looks at present conditions and future needs. Our second article by Dr. Pankaj Srivastava examines the integral dimension of Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga in light of the earlier spiritual traditions. Integral management is a developing field which seeks to integrate ideas and practices of Sri Aurobindo's synthetic yoga into c o l l e c t i v e organizations and business enterprises. Such an integration would seem to be necessary to develop sound principles for the organization and harmony of collectivities of people which would in the end lead to a true human unity. Our third article by Anurag Banerjee examineshowa spiritual approach can be integrated into the management of both people and materials in organizations and businesses.
