Integral healing — a personal perspective
By Debabrata Sahani - Oct 15, 2016
Healing is not just a phenomenon confined to physician, patient and hospitals. Rather, it is an experiential reality of our very existence where survival and growth is always associated with injury and imbalance. This article explores few practical means which can be a part of our daily life. An attempt is made here to create a synthesis of different approaches of therapy to address multiple dimensions in our being, so that instead of a blind mix it becomes a conscious symphony. Above all, it invites the reader to start the journey towards health and harmony — right now.
Health – a dynamic inner equilibrium

The process begins with higher energies influencing and transforming the Lower energy-states. Then disruptive elements are surpassed within or outside oneself and illnesses prevented.

Pain-Pleasure-Indifference
By Soumitra Basu - Apr 24, 2022
In the Indian tradition, Reality has been experientially perceived as a triune of Existence-Consciousness-Bliss or Sachchidānanda. Bliss or Ānanda is the value aspect of Reality but in its pure poise it is inaccessible to the ordinary human being. In fact, any premature attempt to access this aspect of Reality might be counter-productive unless one has the experience of identifying with the inmost essence of one’s consciousness — the ego-surpassing fourth-dimensional principle named by Sri Aurobindo as the psychic being.
Apropos aggression
By Soumitra Basu - Jan 15, 2021
Is aggression a basic instinct? Konrad Lorenz had described it to be an innate and heritable trait that facilitated survival. Yet sophisticated studies have found that even the Western Lowland gorilla in the heart of the African equatorial rain-forest demonstrates a dynamic social structure with a high degree of tolerance and peaceful co-existence (1). This raises a metaphysical query, whether harmony is more basic than aggression.
