Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950), a yogi, philosopher, nationalist, poet, linguist, and writer of unparalleled excellence, wrote on an extraordinary variety of subjects that ideally should have provided a blueprint for laying the foundations of a resurgent India at independence that were based on Indian traditions. Unfortunately, policymakers largely overlooked him.
Sri Aurobindo's works provide access to some of the most insightful reflections on the nature of humanity, the world, and the divine. This book serves as an invitation for readers to explore Sri Aurobindo's contributions further.
India was once renowned for its many achievements and actively engaged in knowledge production. Alien rule for almost a millennium forced Indian culture, to some extent, to shift from a mode of knowledge production to one of knowledge protection.
At independence, Indian leaders and intellectuals should have reflected on the country's past to comprehend why India had reached such remarkable heights that attracted numerous invaders. Western ideas captivate most of our leaders from independence to date. Regrettably, our educational systems over decades wilfully disregarded the rich cultural heritage of the country and the significant material and spiritual achievements of India prior to the onset of imperial attacks.
Sri Aurobindo's writings fundamentally assert that the past, which should not be equated with primitiveness, offers solutions not only for India but also for the entire world as it navigates a precarious future. His insights remain relevant even today, making it crucial for intellectuals to revisit Sri Aurobindo's work in order to reassess current understandings that are causing more strife than healing.
