R. PETTAZZONI Sri Aurobindo:. Alone, she harbours the Absolute Power and the ineffable Presence;... calling the Truths that have to be manifested she brings them down from the Mystery in which they were hidden into the light of her infinite consciousness and gives them a form... and a body in the universe. ...all is her manifestation of the mysteries of the Eternal, the miracles of the Infinite; The aspiration of the psychi

CANTO X THE KINGDOMS AND GODHEADS OF THE LITTLE MIND Aswapathy had to overpass the higher vital world as he had to reach the very Highest "In whom the world arid self grow true and one". The human journey upward cannot cease till that is reached. So long as the human being remains satisfied within the limits of its vital desires and their satisfaction, so long as "This creature hugs his limits to feel safe", till then he cannot aspire to realise the spiritual Self, "It could not house the wideness of a soul Which needed all infinity for its home." Aswapathy saw before him a road stretching to timelessness, disappearing into a sky, lighted wit

I INTRODUCTION I IN approaching Sāvitrī as a poem we must take note of the — possible difficulty likely to be encountered by foreigners who are not accustomed to certain ideas of Indian culture. It is natural that having a different background of culture they would find it difficult to enter into the spirit of a poem which has been called "a legend and a symbol".¹ In fact, since Dr. J. H. Cousins' book New Ways in English Literature and even before it, there had already begun to collect a considerable body of literature, including poetry, written in English by Indians. For some time it was called "Indo-English literature" but since the popularity and the great trium

III TRENDS IN MODERN ENGLISH POETRY So far as poetical creation is concerned, the present is a period of transition, that is to say, there are many widely separate attempts, some fine and powerful beginnings but no large consummation, no representative work, no dominating figure. But it is a period full of hundreds of influences, many-motived, and therefore naturally rich in interesting and fruitful experiments. So far as the output of the modem poetry is concerned the new age is not yet. It is with Sāvitrī that the new age may be said to have arrived. Among the precursors of this new age may be counted Whitman, Carpenter, Yeats, A. E. Mere

SUMMARY OF BOOK FOUR CANTO ONE THE BIRTH AND CHILDHOOD OF THE FLAME The frenzied earth followed the course of her movement "around a Light she must not dare to touch". In this swing of the inconscient earth Life was born and a finite world of thought and action also whirled "across the immobile trance of the Infinite". In the vast silence that ran with her "she communed with the mystic heart in space", "amid the ambiguous stillness of the stars". The earth "moved towards some undisclosed event." "Day after day sped by like coloured spokes" and "the seasons drew in linked significant dance". The alterations of the seasons were like the rhythmic pageant of d

SUMMARY OF BOOK THREE THE BOOK OF THE DIVINE MOTHER CANTO I THE PURSUIT OF THE UNKNOWABLE THE whole experience of life in the world as it is today can give — something. But, it is too little and "cannot fill the spirit's sacred thirst." Something seems to be missing which is badly wanted to make life perfect. In the absence of that something all other things acquired by man lose their significance. To Aswapathy came that experience— "The labour to know seemed a vain strife of Mind, All knowledge ended in the Unknowable: The effort to rule seemed a vain pride of Will". Thus, finding the pursuits of life insipid, he

IMMUNITY This word signifies for us a condition of being able to resist disease through prevention of pathogenic micro-organisms or by counteracting the effects of their products. Of late, most of humankind’s health problems were related to a lack of immunity. A weak body is always vulnerable to all sorts of adverse effects and diseases. Physical immunity is a must for the effective functioning of human beings. Without physical immunity a person can’t behave normally. Why can we, not have immunity naturally? Why is our immunity which is a simultaneous happening in us, dwindle away, halfway? Can we, afford to continue to ignore the core factor of lack of immunity, in o

-22_NATURE^S LITTLE DELICACIES OF IMMUNITY.htm NATURE’S LITTLE DELICACIES OF IMMUNITY We, humanity, are suffering from low immunity and are largely dependent on factory made vitamins and minerals to improve our immunity. But not much is happening…..and while we spend much, nature has around us all the ingredients we need in the kingdom of weeds. It is for us, humanity, to just pick them up for regular use and enjoy the benefits. But nobody is interested in preserving and conserving the natural world. So, therefore, I present these twenty-one plants, having realized, through practical uses, its beneficial qualities. On my many trips to the remote village areas and tribal lands of India, I have shar

ALERT Alertness, How it happens, in the body, in living cell/organisms. Alertness cannot be promised or acquired by effort. Alertness happens simultaneously, spontaneously in the body cells. Alertness is measured by the density of the reactions of the body cells with the enhancement of every current incident. The intensity of the alertness in every individual defines the qualities of the same individual’s performances, which includes the recognition of the inevitability of numerous diverse creations around. The density of the alertness defines the intensity of failure or success, in every individual’s material life and in other spheres of life as well. The more
