  Integral yoga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Integral yoga or purna yoga (Sanskrit for full or complete yoga) refers in Sri Aurobindo's teachings to the union of all the parts of one's being with the Divine, and the transmutation of all of their jarring elements into a harmonious state of higher divine consciousness and existence.
As the title of that work indicates, his integral yoga is a yoga of synthesis, intended to harmonize the paths of karma-, jnana-, and bhakti-yoga as described in the Bhagavad Gita.
Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga is not to be confused with the Integral yoga of Swami Satchidananda, although the Satchidananda is thought to have briefly met Sri Aurobindo, and there are some similarities in their respective teachings.

 Sri Aurobindo, excerpts on Integral Yoga from his book Synthesis of Yoga
In a sense, all the other schools are Vedantic in their principle; their force is in knowledge—if not through discernment by the intellect then through the knowledge of the heart expressed in love and faith, or a knowledge in the will expressed through action.
We see the divine method to be the same in the lower and in the higher working; only in the one it is pursued tardily and obscurely through the subconscious in nature, in the other it becomes swift and self-conscious and the instrument confesses the hand of the master.
First, an integral realization of divine being; not only a realization of the one in its indistinguishable unity, but also in its multitude of aspects which are also necessary to the complete knowledge.
