Letters on Yoga
\n\t\u2014I <\/i>comprises letters written by Sri Aurobindo
\non the philosophical and psychological foundations of the Integral Yoga. It is the first of four volumes of
\nLetters on Yoga<\/i>,
\narranged by the editors as follows: <\/p>\n

\n

I.
\nFoundations of the Integral Yoga <\/p>\n

II.
\nPractice of the Integral Yoga <\/p>\n

III.
\nExperiences and Realisations in the Integral Yoga <\/p>\n

IV.
\nTransformation of Human Nature in the Integral Yoga <\/p>\n

The letters in these volumes have been selected from the large
\nbody of letters that Sri Aurobindo wrote to disciples and others between 1927 and 1950. Other letters from this period are
\npublished in Letters on Poetry and Art <\/i>and Letters on Himself<\/i>
\nand the Ashram<\/i>, volumes 27 and 35 of THE COMPLETE WORKS
\nOF SRI AUROBINDO. Letters written before 1927 are reproduced in Autobiographical Notes and Other Writings of Historical<\/i>
\nInterest<\/i>, volume 36 of THE COMPLETE WORKS. <\/p>\n

During Sri Aurobindo’s lifetime, relatively few of his letters were published. Three small books of letters on Yoga were brought out in the 1930s. A more substantial collection came out
\nbetween 1947 and 1951 in a four-volume series entitled Letters<\/i> of Sri Aurobindo
\n<\/i>(including one volume of letters on poetry and
\nliterature). In 1958, many more letters were included in the two large tomes of
\nOn Yoga \u2014II<\/i>. A further expanded collection in
\nthree volumes entitled Letters on Yoga <\/i>was published in 1970 as part of the Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library. The present
\ncollection, also entitled Letters on Yoga<\/i>, constitutes volumes 28 \u00ad 31 of THE COMPLETE WORKS. These volumes incorporate
\npreviously published letters and contain many new ones as well. About one-third of the letters in the present volume were not
\npublished in the Centenary Library.   <\/p>\n

\n

The present volume is arranged by subject in five parts: <\/p>\n

1. The Divine, the Cosmos and the Individual <\/p>\n

2. The Parts of the Being and the Planes of Consciousness <\/p>\n

3. The Evolutionary Process and the Supermind <\/p>\n

4. Problems of Philosophy, Science, Religion and Society <\/p>\n

5. Questions of Spiritual and Occult Knowledge <\/p>\n

The texts of all letters have been checked against the available manuscripts, typescripts and printed versions.
