"Samadhi Within Integral Yoga with Sraddhalu Ranade" comes from a Synthesis of Yoga talk, produced by Integral Studies.TV on August 18, 2017. In this offering Sraddhalu leads a fascinating discussion on samadhi, asceticism, and the overarching approach of Integral Yoga as he reads Sri Aurobindo;s words and discusses the concepts. Sraddhalu makes a poignant slam right smack into and against the Ghandian philosophy of embracing a life of poverty and suffering. He further goes on to explain that the downfall of the present world, in part, has been brought about by the ideal of asceticism being carried forward as the predominant theme of religions and leaders, such as Mohandas Ghandi, for the past several hundred years. He explains that the Goddess, Mahalakshmi, finds the acceptance of poverty and ugliness by humankind to be disgusting, and that a huge correction is now necessary. Knowledge, opulance, and beauty are embraced by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother as the ideals of the new humanity. This offering has some background enhancement by Bob Smith, in service to Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.
