Integral yoga is a modern version of the traditional yoga systems of India. Many contemporary philosophers felt that traditional yoga gives too much importance to the attainment of the salvation and too much emphasis to the next life that the present life is neglected.
Integral yoga gives yoga an affirmative and dynamic form.
It places the spiritual ideal of life on the foundation of an integrated world-view that takes into account the evolutionary and historical perspective of life. For integral yoga the ultimate goal of life is complete self-integration. Action, love, wisdom and peace are equally important elements in such self-integration. But integral yoga points out that love is inseparable from wisdom and selfless action. Love in its spiritual essence is an attribute of wisdom.
