Sri Aurobindo’s Record of Yoga

Record summary

Sri Aurobindo’s working notebooks, later published as Record of Yoga, document experiments in spiritual practice and references to powers, beings, subtle planes, and intermediary agencies. The notebooks may help compare modern Indian occult vocabulary with Western esoteric classifications of angels, guides, and elementals. They are fragmentary, highly personal, and not written as public case reports. Dating individual entries, identifying abbreviations, and distinguishing descriptive experience from theoretical speculation require specialist consultation. Publication after the period also means later editorial arrangement must be checked.
