Aurobindo Ghose:
(Calcutta, 15 August 1872 – Puducherry, 5 December 1950). Indian nationalist and freedom fighter, yogi, guru, Hindu mystic, philosopher and poet. He was one of India’s leading independence fighters.
He was the founder of integral yoga. Mirra Alfassa, his French companion who later organised the ashram he founded as ‘Mother’, founded the Auroville living community near the city of Pondicherry in Tamil Nadu after his death in 1968.
Society has taken hold of religion to muzzle and bind the human soul to the wheels of a socio-religious machine, to impose a coercive yoke on it and create a prison instead of spiritual freedom.
