Aurobindo Ghosh

Aurobindo Ghosh (1872-1950) was an influential Indian philosopher, yogi, and nationalist. Initially involved in the freedom struggle against British rule, he later shifted his focus to spiritual development and wrote extensively on yoga and philosophy. Ghosh emphasized the evolution of human consciousness and the integration of spiritual and material life. He founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry, promoting his vision of a spiritually awakened society. His works, such as "The Life Divine" and "Savitri," explore themes of integral yoga and transformation, making significant contributions to modern Indian thought and spirituality.
