Release of Renaissance, Volume VI, Issue 11-12
Date: December 21, 2025
Sri Aurobindo has brought a new dynamism and has revealed new dimensions to the timeless spiritual vision and thought given by our ancient sages and seers. His emphasis that the ideals of the past is an indication of the greater ideals of the future is an important reminder for all children of Mother India who aspire to work toward a new resurgent Bharat, a more self-aware nation, proud of its ancient heritage, grounded in its cultural roots, and reaching high toward a greater future.
But Sri Aurobindo’s futuristic vision is not confined to India, writes Beloo Mehra in the editorial of the recent issue. His concern is for the entire humanity, in fact for the future of the earth-consciousness itself. And that is why in his writings, just as in his Yoga, we find his rishi-drishti perceiving clearly the new directions that are yet to unfold. But this vision is not a mere utopian dream; it is the record of a seer who has not merely realised the Divine but who has brought down a new consciousness which is ushering a new age for humanity and the earth.
To make this new age a living reality, Sri Aurobindo has also given the humanity a new ideal to pursue — to harmonise matter and spirit, life and spirit. It is an ideal which reveals the spirit hiding in matter and seamlessly integrates the seeking of spirit with all the nitty-gritty details of outer life — individual and collective. In the past few issues of our online journal Renaissance, we have been exploring various facets of this New Ideal. We continue this in the current issue through an eclectic mix of offerings.
The latest issue of Renaissance features two especially curated videos, one book review, two submissions by new authors, part 2 of an ongoing series on Science and Spirituality, and a bit of Divine Humour of Sri Aurobindo.
