About the Book:
This book delves into the transformative years of Sri Aurobindo, who returned to India after nine years in England. Engaged in teaching and studies at Baroda College, Aurobindo began his exploration of Eastern culture with renewed vigor. During this period, his thought-provoking essays were published in the renowned Bombay newspaper Induprakash.

At the time, moderate leaders in India were pleading with the British government for small concessions, but these demands were often ignored or treated with disrespect. The sessions of the Congress had become a mockery, and those who spoke bluntly were often ridiculed.

Amidst this situation, Sister Nivedita arrived in Baroda and met Aurobindo. She saw in him the future leader of the nation and recognized his potential to lead India towards independence. Aurobindo's thoughts of revolution were like a vast network of revolutionaries, who, like a spider’s web, would eventually spread across cities and villages.

Nivedita urged Aurobindo to move to Bengal, as she felt his place was there, and his leadership was crucial for the Indian cause. This marked the beginning of Aurobindo's revolutionary journey, setting the stage for the dismantling of the colonial system in India.
