Sri Aurobindo’s magnetic personality, profound knowledge and the vast literature he produced, combined to win over a large number of disciples, who are still spreading his message to humanity.
Aurobindo studied western philosophy and literature at a very early age and was well-acquainted with some of the Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle. He had also studied the idealistic philosophies of recent times. He was greatly influenced by the views of Hegel, Whitehead and Bergson. He also studied the ancient Indian Philosophy and was greatly influenced by Vedanta and Yoga. But he relied chiefly on his own vision, contemplation and reason. It appears that Aurobindo reviewed and reorganized all the views that influenced him and brought out a new, synthetic and comprehensive vision of Reality. …

Ancient Indian philosophy, especially the Vedanta, has made the mistake of rejecting matter. But it must be admitted that every evolution must have a corresponding involution. Aurobindo tried to work out an integral view in which both matter and spirit are given place.
The guiding principle of Sri Aurobindo’s metaphysics appears to be a spirit of reconciliation. He conceived Reality as supremely spiritual and yet managed to give Matter a place in it.

I was born in Orissa, a predominantly Hindu state. But my biggest influence was my father, great poet in Oriya language. He was very otherworldly and innocent, preoccupied by poetry. He never survived in jobs because he was defiantly anti-establishment, always questioning authority and so on. He went through his own turmoil. He first decided to give up his sacred thread. Then he decided to give up any Hindu worship of idols or temples. Then around the age of 50, he decided to convert to Buddhism, giving up his Kshatryia heritage, with its embrace of the sword. But he did not share that part of his life with us and did not give us a religious orientation. Besides, he was also an admirer of Jesus, of Sri Aurobindo and Ma, and others. So I grew up in both a religious variety and vacuum. [Literature and Social Reform in Colonial Orissa, Gender and Cultural Identity in Colonial Orissa

says “Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don’t know”, we are left aghast! Why? Why does Meursault’s existence become absurd and meaningless to us if he doesn’t cry at his mother’s funeral? Why do we feel uncomfortable? There is something peculiarly uneasy about the situation.
