Sri Aurobindo

The Synthesis of Yoga

This index page has been copied from the website intyoga.online.fr, which has much more extensive information about the chronology and other details, but not the book itself.

This book used to be available on a "Webserver for Integral Yoga", which is no longer accessible. Fortunately, I found a copy that I downloaded long ago. I present that version. There are many typographic errors. Please point them out as you find them, so I can fix them.
