Supermind (integral yoga)

By "Supermind", Sri Aurobindo means several things: According to Sri Aurobindo, full yogic development consists of two parts: the standard yogic goal of ascent into a formless and timeless self, and the descent and establishment of the supramental consciousness into Earthly life.

The supramental consciousness transforms the entire being and leads to the divinisation of the material world.

A critical mass of such "gnostic individuals" can create the foundation of a new social life and order.

On 29 February 1956, Sri Aurobindo's co-worker Mirra Alfassa (The Mother), announced, "The manifestation of the Supramental upon earth is no more a promise but a living fact, a reality.

"[2] On 1 January 1969, The Mother (at age 90) announced the "arrival" of the "superman consciousness" – "the intermediary between man and the supramental being".
