Dear Readers,

Darshan greetings to all!

The Mother once said this of poetry: “Poetry is sensuality of the spirit.” (CWM, 12, p. 241) The feature article in this issue gives us an occasion to experience some of this sensuality of the spirit, as we go through some delightful exchanges from a recently completed online course at SACAR, titled Poetry of the Future. We hope that readers will be inspired by the perceptions and perspectives shared by some of our students, and will be touched by the sensitivity of their insights and observations on some of the poems of Sri Aurobindo.

As per our practice, this August 2010 issue continues to highlight some of the work submitted by our dedicated learners who are deeply involved in their study of Sri Aurobindo’s thought and vision that is the basis of all our academic programmes. In the pages to follow, our readers will witness a variety of voices and topics, including a brief study of some of the concerns of youth in Auroville, the role of surrender on the path of Integral Yoga, and some personal reflections on the study of Sri Aurobindo’s The Human Cycle. We hope that this sample of student voices helps readers get a glimpse of how the various educational programmes offered by SACAR help learners connect their intellectual quest with their personal inner journey and aspiration.

Till next time...

Beloo

“India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the people.”
