Who was Sri Aurobindo?
Sri Aurobindo was a poet, a writer, a scholar, a revolutionary
thinker, a seer, a philosopher, a nationalist, a creator of an age, a
rishi and a yogi. He carried the world in his heart. The more you
try to understand him the more you realize that it is a difficult task
to describe him in words.
He was born in Calcutta, India on August 15, 1872, at 4:52 a.m.
in the Brahmamuhurta—the hour of God. He was the third son
of Dr. Krishna Dhan Ghose and Swarnalata. He left his body at
1:26 a.m. on December 5, 1950 in Pondicherry. The body
remained charged with Supramental Light for 111 hours without
showing any signs of decomposition.
Aravind means Lotus (pronounced Aurobindo in Bengali). Sri
means "Glory of the Divine" in the tradition of India.
