Deliberations on The Life Divine: Volume One (Book I: Chapters I-VI)

by Ananda Reddy

The first in a series of projected volumes, this book is a transcribed edited version of talks delivered by the author on the first six chapters of Sri Aurobindo’s The Life Divine.

Dr Reddy’s approach is to explain in the simplest of terms the main philosophical arguments presented by Sri Aurobindo by showing how he takes up an argument from multiple viewpoints and then finds a natural and unifying synthesis through spiritual experience and intellectual thought.

The author has kept intact the direct, expository tone of the talks, making this an easily approachable book. Each chapter studies the main arguments in brief and is followed by lecture notes that encapsulate the contents in outline form.
