\ BooknewsA study of Auroville, the city in India devoted to the creator of "Integral Yoga" Sri Aurobindo (d.1950) and his followers, as it has developed in a country that began identifying itself as a "secular state" with a 1976 Constitutional amendment. Minor (religious studies, U. of Kansas) gives insight into the conflicts involved when defining in political and legal terms such concepts as the religious, spiritual, and secular, and how these conflicts relate to this world- known city, as well as to the politics and lives of contemporary Indians. He includes transcriptions of Parliamentary debates and UNESCO resolutions. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.\ \
