Reading Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo dedicated his life to the transformation of humanity. His journey saw him traverse many paths, including that of poet, journalist, jailed revolutionary, philosopher, and radical mystic.

How I came to Sri Aurobindo
This memoir details the story of a sadhak (practitioner of spirituality), once a dyed-in-the-wool agnostic, who came to the practice of the Integral Yoga after a life-altering spiritual experience in his twenty-fourth year. Ignorant of spiritual literature at that time, he accepted conventional medical wisdom that put down the experience to a psychosomatic disorder. He continued to coast along as an agnostic for about a decade after this experience, believing all the while that medical attention was enough to 'manage the condition.' It was the contact with the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo that awoke him to the reality of the goings-on within. Until this first exposure to Aurobindonian phil...
Educating for Humanity
This book explores the international landscape of educational scholarship, policy, and practice. Tucker argues there is a fundamental aim for world education. It is to educate complete human beings in all their dimensions, such that they become the best persons they can be, and participate fully in ‘the human story’. Tucker asks: What is the world of education for? What is it that early childhood centers, schools and local communities are meant to do for children and their learning? Representing a decade of research, the text examines the most common concepts of the purposes of education, human nature and learning offered by scholars, international authorities and pedagogies, nations, ed...

It transforms the canon of global philosophy, presenting for ...
The Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram
The Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram: Co-Creator of the Integral Yoga analyzes the contributions of the Mother (née Mirra Alfassa, 1878-1973) to the Integral Yoga that she and Sri Aurobindo (né Aurobindo Ghose, 1872-1950) co-created for his ashram. Scholars have ignored Mirra for Aurobindo, which prevents a full understanding of their spiritual practice. Scholars have also avoided examining work Aurobindo produced after they began their partnership in 1920 until his death in 1950, and privileged the written output in his journal Arya from 1914 to 1921. In this initial fertile period, he put forth his innovative teaching about what he called the “Supermind,” an emergent human faculty that he said would manifest a new humanity and a new earth through Mirra’s body. Mirra claimed that after his death in 1956 this manifestation happened as he foretold. Mirra’s work in the ashram from his death until hers in 1973 reveals important ways that she both fulfilled and changed Aurobindo’s initial vision. These developments are chiefly based on her experiences of mental dissolution while her body gained a new supramental form and consciousness.
