Sri Aurobindo was a prominent Indian philosopher, yogi, poet, and nationalist leader who initially worked as a journalist and actively participated in India’s independence movement against British rule. Despite facing charges and imprisonment for his anti-colonial activities, he later turned his focus to spiritual pursuits. In Pondicherry, he developed Integral Yoga, with the goal of advancing human evolution towards a divine existence. Together with his spiritual collaborator, he established the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and authored important works such as The Life Divine and Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol.
