SRI AUROBINDO - THINKER & YOGI OF FUTURE  (English, Paperback, M. G. Umar)

This work is essentially a collection of essays introducing Sri Aurobindo's thought and Yoga through his major works. The essays seek to explain the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo as spelt out in The Life Divine and the nature of the Integral Yoga, with a stress on the conversion of philosophy into action, as developed in The Synthesis of Yoga. Other essays deal with his political and social thought and reveal his radically different approach to these topics. The author also discusses Sri Aurobindo's vision of the future directions that poetry is likely to take, quoting chiefly from The Future Poetry, and provides an introduction to the epic Savitri.
