Sri Aurobindo – Biography
Sri Aurobindo was a revolutionary, poet, philosopher, writer, and Spiritual Master. Despite his fascinating life he was sceptical of any biographies saying
‘ No one can write about my life because it has not been on the surface for man to see.’ – Sri Aurobindo from: On Himself
Yet his writings and outer life give a profound glimpse into the life of this unique spiritual mästare. Sri Aurobindo paved a new approach to yoga, which he termed ‘Integral Yoga’. Unlike the Yogi’s of old he felt yoga and spirituality need not involve retreating from the world. Sri Aurobindo wished to bring the Divine into all aspects of life.

What was Sri Aurobindo thinking, what were his feelings as he came in sight of his beloved motherland?

And when he returned, he was a young man of twenty-one, burning to realise his dreams and visions. These fourteen years, the most impressionable and formative part of his life, were spent in the West in the heyday of its scientific civili
