Visionary, Poet, Philosopher, Revolutionary, and Yogi
Sri Aurobindo
(1872–1950)
"The Divine is everywhere, in everything, and if He is hidden, it is because we do not take the trouble to discover Him."— Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) was a visionary, poet, philosopher, revolutionary, and yogi. Educated in England, he returned to India to become a leader in the struggle for freedom.
After profound spiritual experiences, he withdrew to Pondicherry to pursue his mission of Integral Yoga – the transformation of human life into a life divine on earth.
His writings, including The Life Divine and Savitri, continue to inspire seekers across the world with their profound insights into the nature of consciousness, evolution, and spiritual transformation.
The Revolutionary
Before his spiritual calling, Sri Aurobindo was actively involved in India's freedom struggle. He believed that India's independence was divinely ordained and worked tirelessly for the nation's liberation.
The Philosopher
His philosophical works present a comprehensive synthesis of Eastern wisdom and Western thought, offering a new understanding of human evolution and the possibility of life divine on earth.
The Poet
His epic poem Savitri, spanning over 23,000 lines, is considered one of the greatest spiritual epics in English literature, embodying his vision of human transformation.
The Yogi
He developed Integral Yoga, a comprehensive spiritual practice aimed at the transformation of the entire being – physical, vital, mental, and spiritual – for the manifestation of the Divine in life.
