• What is the philosophy behind the pc93 archive?

  The philosophy is to provide key texts of import in the realms of comparative studies. This encompasses philosophies, psychologies, religions, theologies, and metaphysics of man, etc. as they bear relation to to his evolution as a species and culture. The purpose is to unite and bring forth the brotherhood of man and the planet as a whole, i.e. all sentient creatures. Now, what would this include? It would include all the gradations of being--matter, vegetable, mineral, animal, human, on up the scale. The purpose is to evolve a new and better way of seeing and interacting with ourselves and our environment which is all part of that one great Self. I would also like to stress the philosophy of taking action through whatever medium is available to the individual to change what is destroying our eco-system. We must create a new life here and not off in the heavens. I would like to stress the fact that it is here and now that we must effect a change and this will not be done by mere wishful thinking but by taking physical action.

If one takes the time to research the life and works of Sri Aurobindo, then one may appreciate the potential in his observations concerning his own research in the substance of the Rig Veda ... the most ancient of recorded texts in the planetary history of mankind.

It is also appropriate - as others are doing around the planet - at this time in the global history of man, with the commencement of the third millenium soon approaching, to take the time to reflect on just where this invention of recorded writings has taken us. Today, in addition to the web, there are vast expanses of recorded words scattered about the planet in libraries, in educational institutions, in cultural centers, in religious centers, in private collections, in corporate portfolios, in government departments and on the ever-growing platform of the internet ... Everywhere where there has been need to record the words or actions of man. At such a time - or really one should comment at especially such a time - it should be of considerable interest to the students of life to look back at the beginning.

In planetary terms, the Rig Veda is the beginning of record keeping.

And this publication attempts to provide informed commentary concerning the very nature of that beginning. The publication consists of two introductory sections by Sri Aruobindo, the first a foreword and the second on The Doctrine of the Mystics. The following nine mandalas then consist of Sri Aurobindo's translations of certain sections of the Rig Veda, which itself is a vast and extensive record.

For those student of life who would wish to obtain some understanding of the nature of the philosophy of the ancient eastern sages and mystics, then I could not recommend a better initial reading that the introductory two chapters in this account as published here.

Other works of Sri Aurobindo at this site are as follows:

• The Future Evolution of Man: Collation of the works of Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950)
  
• The Superman: All-Will and Free-Will and The Delight of Works - 1915 publications

Peace.
