Description:

This comprehensive biography of Sri Aurobindo, one of the most influential Indian personalities of the twentieth century, offers a detailed look at his multifaceted life. Known as a freedom fighter, poet, and yogi, Sri Aurobindo developed Integral Yoga and was twice nominated for the Nobel Prize. The biography delves into his spiritual journey, drawing from essential sources such as his spiritual diary, Record of Yoga, and his numerous literary creations, including The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, Essays on the Gita, and the epic Savitri.

The book also highlights his lesser-known role as a freedom fighter, focusing on his influence on the Hardliners and his eventual move to Pondicherry. Written with deep insight and careful documentation, the biography provides valuable references for further research. Additionally, a large photo section includes historical images and current photographs of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and its surroundings.
