Life is not like a watertight compartment divided into cognitive, affective and conative. It is a integral whole. Therefore, Yoga should have integral approach towards human life. Sri Aurobindo has cleared his philosophical pathway between the Denial of the Materialist and the Refusal of the Ascetic. This book on The Concept of Integral Yoga according to Sri Aurobindo will be of great help in understanding the synthetic nature of Sri Aurobindo`s yoga. The content is rich and the coverage is comprehensive. The exposition is very simple and direct. The general public will find it easy to understand the yogic perception of Sri Aurobindo. Prof. S. Rajendran has really done a yeoman service in the cause of synthesis of yoga by reconciling the one sided approaches of traditional yogas. My hearty good wishes and salutations to the author. - Dr Ramjee Singh (Ex. M.P. & Ex. V.C.)
