possibilities for extraordinary life. {Bonnie and all}

[Guest guest]

That edition is put out by ISKCON-- the Hare Krishna people, I think. I've heard

a lot

of good things about that edition.

thank you Bonnie

 

jb} My Bhagavad Gita volume is sub-titled .. "As it is!"

 

I wonder what the difference is between {As it is} and your {The song of God} ?

If any!

 

Notice tho' that {As it is} is like the Egyptian Isis, "I am that which is, has

been, and shall

be.."

 

IMO there's a relationship there!

Between 1927 and 1950 Sri Aurobindo remained in seclusion while perfecting a new

kind of

spiritual practice he called the Integral Yoga. During this period he gave

detailed guidance to

disciples and seekers, responding to thousands of inquiries. This

correspondence constitutes a

major body of work on the practice of yoga-sadhana. No other Philosopher or

contemplative of

modern times has done more to reveal our possibilities for extraordinary life.

I hope this

helped.

Probably, but eventually you will find it. I never saw myself ever reading

Philosophy, but this man is a genious.

I wonder what the difference is between {As it is} and your {The song of God}
