[Deepak Manohar · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent consolidation of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s works

This book is an excellent consolidation of Sri Aurobindo and Mother’s Integral Yoga whose aim was to bring Supramental Manifestation on Earth to transform human to Divine.

The author has done comprehensive research on the works which span several volumes and summarized the complexities in this book.

The source of these works are more than mere words and ordinary reading. They are a force in action.
