Towards a Spiritualised Society
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2022
Human beings are not just social animals but a unique species that tries to make their individual and collective existence more meaningful. After the first preoccupation with survival is over, man turns his quest towards higher things. This higher pursuit has given birth to yoga and spirituality. But generally spirituality is considered as a means for attaining individual freedom. However, there is a possibility of collective reorganisation of mankind as the spiritual evolution carries us further. This article discusses the possibilities of a spiritualised society in the future.

While the animal has only one road before him, the road that is right in front, determining his choices driven by the senses and instinct. But man has a subjective side to his existence, an inner road that can lead him deep within the inmost penetralia of his existence. This article touches upon the two roads before man with the possible implications of each.
Beyond humanity
By Alok Pandey - Apr 24, 2021
Our experience, perception and response to life are limited by our state of consciousness. While we invest much time and energy in changing the world around us yoga reveals that the first step to change anything is to change ourselves within. While the change of consciousness has always been considered as the penultimate aim of yoga, the question remains as to how far this change can go. Can it, for example, go as far as creating a new humanity out of the old, a new species perhaps with new faculties and who knows eventually even the transmutation of the body into a new divine body? This article touches upon this aspect of yoga as part of the general spiritual evolution of man.
