Book Synopsis Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo by : Nirodbaran
Download or read book Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo written by Nirodbaran and published by Lotus. This book was released on 1988 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of Sri Aurobindo might wonder about the Master's external personality. The curiosity is perennial in the mind of the seeker; in the Gita, Arjuna cannot refrain from asking Sri Krishna, How does the sage of settled understanding speak, how sit, how walk? Equality has always been held as the hallmark of the liberated soul and while signs of equality are subjective, sensitive souls cannot help perceiving the spiritual atmosphere of evolved beings. The Person in them is larger than the personality, and this inner largeness overflows into and suffuses their external nature as well. Nirodbaran served Sri Aurobindo as an attendant and literary secretary from 1938 to 1950. This hagiographic classic is an account of that period of intimate personal contact.

Book Synopsis The Lives of Sri Aurobindo by : Peter Heehs
Download or read book The Lives of Sri Aurobindo written by Peter Heehs and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since his death in 1950, Sri Aurobindo Ghose has been known primarily as a yogi and a philosopher of spiritual evolution who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in peace and literature. But the years Aurobindo spent in yogic retirement were preceded by nearly four decades of rich public and intellectual work. Biographers usually focus solely on Aurobindo's life as a politician or sage, but he was also a scholar, a revolutionary, a poet, a philosopher, a social and cultural theorist, and the inspiration for an experiment in communal living. Peter Heehs, one of the founders of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives, is the first to relate all the aspects of Aurobindo's life in its entirety. Consulting rare primary sources, Heehs describes the leader's role in the freedom movement and in the framing of modern Indian spirituality. He examines the thinker's literary, cultural, and sociological writings and the Sanskrit, Bengali, English, and French literature that influenced them, and he finds the foundations of Aurobindo's yoga practice in his diaries and unpublished letters. Heehs's biography is a sensitive, honest portrait of a life that also provides surprising insights into twentieth-century Indian history.
Book Synopsis Sri Aurobindo by : Jugal Kishore Mukherjee
Download or read book Sri Aurobindo written by Jugal Kishore Mukherjee and published by . This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sri Aurobindo is often perceived as a grave and austere philosopher who rarely smiled. Nothing could be further from the truth. This book is neither a mere compilation of jokes nor a dull, dry, theoretical exposition. It is indeed an analysis of the canons of the art of humour, but in each case a full quota of Sri Aurobindo's humorous passages belonging to the genre in question is cited to illustrate the principles.
Book Synopsis The English of Savitri by : Shraddhavan
Download or read book The English of Savitri written by Shraddhavan and published by Auro e-Books. This book was released on 2015-02-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1980, Shraddhavan has been teaching English in Auroville through close readings of Sri Aurobindo’s revelatory epic Savitri: a legend and a symbol. In August 1998 these classes were resumed at Savitri Bhavan, with a growing number of students, including young Tamil teacher-trainees from the Arul Vazhi School located in Promesse, Auroville. These classes were given the name ‘The English of Savitri’ and they concluded in May of 2009 as this group reached the end of the poem. This book is based on the transcripts of a new series of classes given by Shraddhavan between August 2009 and October 2010, which have been edited for conciseness and clarity, while aiming to preserve some of the informal atmosphere of the course. Edited transcripts of these classes began to be published serially in the Bhavan’s journal of Study Notes on Savitri, ‘Invocation’, from issue 32 onwards, since it was felt that they may be of interest to a wider audiance. They are now being published in book form in several volumes by Yukta Prakashan publishers of Vadodara. This suggested the idea of collecting the original English articles into a book form as well. This is the first such volume, covering all the five cantos of Book One of the poem, ‘The Book of Beginnings’.

Book excerpt: (Now reprinted with the entire content comprised in 2 volumes) Talks with Sri Aurobindo is a thousand-page record of Sri Aurobindo's conversations with the disciples who attended to him during the last twelve years of his life. The talks are informal and open-ended, for the attendants were free to ask whatever questions came to mind. Sri Aurobindo speaks of his own life and work, of the Mother and the Ashram, of his path of Yoga and other paths, of India's social, cultural and spiritual life, of the country's struggle for political independence, of Hitler and the Second World War, of modern science, art and poetry, and of many other things that arose in the course of conversation. Serious discussion is balanced with light-hearted banter and humour. By recording these human touches, Nirodbaran has brought out the warm and intimate atmosphere of the talks.

Download or read book Sri Aurobindo written by Roshen Dalal and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating exploration of the life and philosophy of an uncommon visionary. Widely revered as a preeminent philosopher and spiritual leader, Sri Aurobindo’s teachings and legacy inspire millions across the globe. Yet, the true essence of his wisdom remains an enigma, intensified further by the mystique surrounding his life. In this comprehensive new biography, veteran historian Roshen Dalal sets out to demystify Aurobindo’s unique journey. From his early years and education in England to his consequential return to India during its embryonic freedom movement, his arrest in the infamous Alipore Bomb Case and subsequent spiritual awakening and ascetic life at his ashram in Pondicherry, she unravels the intricate events and relationships that shaped his thinking – particularly his collaborations with his spiritual partner, the Mother. Through meticulous analysis of his writings, she sheds light on Aurobindo’s radical path for the future – towards a harmonious world order and the awakening of a divine consciousness, culminating in the ultimate transformation of humanity. Drawing from over three decades of research, Dalal presents here the most accessible, lucid and insightful portrait of Sri Aurobindo to date. She underscores the pioneering ideas of a visionary thinker and the enduring power of his legacy.

Book Synopsis The Birth of the Sun-God by : Ry Deshpande
Download or read book The Birth of the Sun-God written by Ry Deshpande and published by . This book was released on 2020-06-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an attempt to present Sri Aurobindo's epic Savitri in brief stanza-like cantos each with just twelve lines. This may sound terribly atrocious but if condensation can become dense and luminous, like a diamond, the gain could be ours. A word or a phrase lit with the spirit's glow and power can sparkle out in countless directions, grains of fire or else jewel-like intensities to see which only an intuitive sight is needed. Savitri is a poem written in pentametric blank verse form, mostly with end-stopped lines, running almost to twenty-four thousand in number. Divided into twelve books, as was the tradition for a classical epic, it has forty-eight cantos plus an epilogue. Part I consisting of the first twenty-four cantos was published in September 1950, just a couple of months before Sri Aurobindo's passing away in December of that year; Part II and Part III as a single tome comprising of the remaining twenty-four cantos and the epilogue appeared in May 1951. The poet spent a number of years in completing the composition, more than thirty years though with some long gaps in between. He also took Savitri as a means of "ascension" towards a higher and more perfect truth experienced by him spiritually. It is an expression of the realised sovereignty itself and hence becomes most valuable. Even in its outward character it is encyclopaedic. Therefore to think of putting such a voluminous work in scarcely six hundred lines could be a misadventure, a perilous task fully loaded with the question if this should be done at all. The comprehensive epic possesses simultaneously several dimensions and yet moves easily through region after incandescent region with remarkable swiftness. Also, it was planned and executed with great artistic care, with the essential "power of architectural construction", with detail piled upon wonderful detail, elaborate construction which maybe called Victorian, a Westminster Palace, never minimalistic with just two birds sitting on a long electric cable with no poles visible anywhere nor anything around them. So to compress it by a factor of forty is to tell stories, bad stories, if not to badly desecrate the magnificence of its structural design. More serious objection will be the want of spiritual authenticity when we are not in touch with the truth of inspiration behind it, that of the original creation. It will be presumptuous on our part even to speak of fidelity to the text charged as it is with yogic and occult abundances.Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri as his main work in the context of his great objective. It is not only the record of a seeing; it is also a supreme revelation of his evolutionary vision and its realisation. In its literary aspect it is the Vedic word or the mantra itself. It is "the voice of the rhythm which has created the worlds." Its supremacy is such that it becomes a happy chariot speeding the Rishi on the ascending slopes of heaven. It could also become a vehicle of awareness and fulfilment for the seeker-souls in their quest towards the great truth, mahadsatyam. About it Sri Aurobindo says that it is a word of power born out of the secret depths of our being and is brooded upon by a deeper consciousness. In it one has the sense of a rhythm coming from infinity and rushing to infinity, a rhythm which "has for ever been sounding in the eternal planes and began even in time ages ago and which returns into the infinite to go sounding on for ages after."

Book Synopsis Sri Aurobindo and the Mother by : Kireet Joshi
Download or read book Sri Aurobindo and the Mother written by Kireet Joshi and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1989 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aryadeva's Catuhsataka, along with the work of Nagarjuna, provided the philosophical basis for much of subsequent Mahayana Buddhism. Like Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarikas, it too was commented upon by Vijnanavada, or Idealist, thinkers as well as by those of the Madhyamaka, or Middle Way school. Thus the Catuhsataka was interpreted in very different, and yet philoslophically rich, fashioned by its sixth century commentators, Dharmapala and Candrakirti: the former saw it as only refuting ascriptions of imagined natures (parikalpitasvabhava) to phenomena while leaving real natures untouched; the latter interpreted Aryadeva's work as a thorough going rejection of all real intrinsic natures (svabhava) whatsoever. Tom Tillemans, in this reprint of his 1990 doctoral thesis, takes up the key themes in Dharmapala's and Candrakirti's philosophies and translates two chapters from their respective works on Catuhsataka. Both commentaries had a strong influence on subsequent Buddhism: Candrakirti's was important for Tibetan developments; Dharmapala's played a formative role in the increasingly marked differentiation between Vijnanavada and Madhyamaka philosophies.
