YOGA & MEDITATION IN PONDICHERRY
- PAGE 2
Like other spiritual communities the
way of life here is also centered around the attainment
of Spirit, Self, God, divinity, perfection but instead
of following a fixed method to attain these, the emphasis
is given on their individual inner practice. This practice
is guided by the numerous talks and letters of Sri Aurobindo
and the Mother. As its aim is not only to rise out of
the ordinary consciousness but to bring divinity down,
the power of action and creation is also emphasized.
Thus a wholesome integral Yoga is followed here which
turns the heart towards divine not through meditation
alone but also through action. Thus every member here
is expected to do some work along with practice of Meditation
and try to make every action spiritual.
