The Power of Strenght

In Sri Aurobindo and the Mother’s teachings, the power of strength is personified as

Mahakali, a divine force of "splendour and tempestuous action" that shatters falsehood and inertia. She is the warrior of the worlds whose "divine violence" rushes to destroy obstacles, replacing slow evolution with a swift, intense transformation. Though her force is fierce and intolerant of imperfection, they maintained it is driven by a "deep and passionate kindness" and a "victorious power" meant to hammer human nature into its highest, most perfect truth. Based on this understanding, we have developed this workshop with following sessions:

• Conscious Sharing Circle on the Synthesis of Yoga: during this session, we will directly approach the synthesis of Yoga, in which Sri Aurobindo urges us to select or compress general methods into narrower and more energetic forms of intensity that go beyond normal functions, powers, and results, always latent, in order to accelerate our own evolution through a more complete combination. To this end, no synthesis can be satisfactory if its purpose not only allows but also fosters the harmony of our inner and outer activities and experiences, fulfilling both within life itself. Life thus assumes the role of a vast Yoga of Nature in which the Divine expresses itself.ktiyoga (adoration and seeking of the supreme Self as the Divine Being).

• Awareness Through the Body on the planes of the being: In this session, the different planes of the being are explored as an integrated architecture of consciousness. Through self-observation and sensitive listening, we learn to distinguish and harmonize the plane of the physical body, the vital plane of impulses and emotions, the mental plane of thoughts, and the subtle plane of the energetic body. This work of differentiation and integration culminates in Psychic Consciousness, the central nucleus that orchestrates and illuminates the various layers, transforming bodily awareness into an instrument of evolution in which every part of the being contributes to the realization of total, conscious unity.

• Integral Psychology on obstacles, crisis and surrender: during this session, we will consider how obstacles in life are not seen as arbitrary setbacks, but as integral parts of the journey of growth, often manifesting as moments of profound crisis, discouragement, or confusion. It is precisely during these crises that inner transformation through surrender becomes necessary and possible. This "letting go" does not mean passive resignation, but rather an active surrender of effort and attachment to outcomes, allowing grace or universal energy to act, thus transforming obstacles into opportunities for deeper awareness and the integration of all aspects of the being.

• Yoga of Inner discovery on rituals and the three shamanic stages In shamanic traditions, rituals serve as structured bridges between ordinary reality and the invisible dimensions, articulated through three stages that reflect the cosmology of the three worlds and the search for a profound synthesis between spirit and matter. In this session, following the Eurasian tradition (which does not use psychotropic substances for such purposes), we will embark on a ritualistic journey that manifests as a symbolic descent into the darkness of the self to confront the obstacles of the ego, followed by an ascent toward the luminous visions of will and inner wisdom, culminating in total surrender to the Mystery, in which the individual sacrifices their limited identity for a harmonious unity on the natural plane, the human one, and the Absolute.
