NAMAH is a pioneer, peer-reviewed, internationally indexed body, mind and spirit journal with an integral vision looking at the influence of the spirit or soul in psychology and health.


Pain

Privilege of Pain — The Role of Pain in the Spiritual Journey*

Divyanshi Chugh

Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem, Savitri, amongst many things, is also a healer. The consciousness in the mantric words of Savitri helps heal and bring back the rhythm in life, through its own sweet rhythm. Besides, Savitri provides profound insights on the subject of ‘Suffering and Pain’, which can help us heal and grow even through pain. In the Canto, ‘The Way of Fate and the Problem of Pain’, there are central lessons about the role of pain in the spiritual journey. In this study, we focus on unravelling these. Read more...


Social health

Envisioning a New Earth

Preeti Mahurkar

‘Creating a Sustainable Contemplative Civilisation’ delves into the profound teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, envisioning a world, where humanity embraces oneness and lives in alignment with higher principles. The article advocates Integral Yoga as a means to activate a critical mass for a higher social order. It proposes a society based on Integral Education, empowering individuals to transcend divisive tendencies and adopt unity, cooperation and compassion. The vision extends to nurturing a community of enlightened beings, fostering conscious evolution, peace, and love. It emphasises the urgent need to address global crises through collective responsibility, as with ‘Team New Earth’ and ‘Task Force Peace and Harmony’, creating a new era of understanding and enlightenment.

Sri Aurobindo

Thy golden Light came down into my brain
And the grey rooms of mind sun-touched became
A bright reply to Wisdom’s occult plane,
A calm illumination and a flame.

The Mind

Reason and Wisdom

The Mother

Insight

6 — Late, I learned that when reason died then Wisdom was born; before that liberation, I had only knowledge.

Once again I must repeat that the form of these aphorisms is purposely paradoxical in order to give the mind a little shock and awaken it enough for it to make an effort to understand. One must not take this aphorism literally. Some people seem worried by the idea that reason must disappear for one to become wise. It is not that, it is not that at all. Read more...


Life-force

The Vital Plane of Consciousness — Insights from Integral Yoga

Dr. Soumitra Basu

Insight

The vital plane impinges on the physical, innervates and energises it to produce the animate world. On the one hand, this impingement produces variety and beauty in the physical forms, on the other, the friction resulting from this impingement results in the first pain whose memory is still carried in our subconscious. But first let us study beauty in its pristine purity. Read more...
