He was an interesting person, a worker for Swaraj in India initially, and then seemingly taught a philosophy seemingly similar to Nietche and the 'Superman'. So it seem Aurobindo was all about transformation of matter as opposed to its denial. No doubt this type of Yoga would be of interest to those who are not interested in religion, advaita or ajatavada. It does stimulate the intellect, but Harsha you are right about Ramana and the simplicity of 'Who am I?'.........ONS.. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
