Sri Aurobindo



Sri Aurobindo (1872–1950) was an Indian guru, yogi, writer, and political activist who fought for Indian independence before devoting himself to spiritual life and developing the philosophy of Integral yoga, in which spiritual transcendence within one’s present life is the aim of creation. With his spiritual partner, Mirra Alfassa (called The Mother), Sri Aurobindo established an ashram, now called the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, in Puducherry, India.
