Sri Aurobindo's Life and Philosophy

The Indian subcontinent is rich in the history of yogis, seekers, explorers, and travelers who have dedicated their lives to the path of enlightenment. The 15th of August is the birthday of one of the great links in this chain, a remarkable yogi and brilliant intellectual personality of India. This day, which marks the birth of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh, a philosopher, poet, freedom fighter, revolutionary, profound scholar and original interpreter of yogic practice, and a yogi of solitary meditation, has its own mystery.

After a long period of Mughal rule and then the chains of British slavery, India became independent on August 15, 1947, and democracy emerged in India. Sri Aurobindo had declared 30 years in advance that India would become independent on his birthday, August 15. When India became independent and Sri Aurobindo was asked to give a message on Indian radio. He said in it – The independence of India on August 15 is a grand plan and play of the divine.
