The Famous Indian Sri Aurobindo was a revolutionary thinker, yogi, and philosopher, developed one
of the most comprehensive spiritual philosophies of the modern era. Central to his vision is Integral
Yoga, a dynamic, evolutionary approach to spirituality that seeks not escape from the world but the
transformation of human nature. This research paper examines the role of Yoga in Sri Aurobindo’s
philosophy, its metaphysical foundations, psychological processes, and teleological goal of
supramental transformation. The study situates Aurobindo’s system within the broader traditions of
Indian Yoga while highlighting its innovative, future-oriented contribution to global spiritual thought.
Sri Aurobindo was a great nationalist, poet, freedom fighter and journalist and mystic. He was worldlywise, leading normal life, till the age of twenty-seven but his life had a turning point when he met Sri
Vishnu Lele, a mystic on the bank of the river and initiated him in the practice of yoga. Then onwards
he took his involvement in politics and yoga seriously. After 1910, soon after release from the prison,
he went to Pondicherry where he established Ashrma with Mirrah Richards, a spiritual companion.
There he made a sadhana by writing several books on culture, history, vedas, bhagvadgita education,
yoga and poetry. He formed a new form of yoga named Integral yoga out of his experience of practicing
the traditional methods of yoga and gave it as a solution to the problems of the humanity-its unity and
peaceful living.
