4. Sri Aurobindo And India’s
Rebirth- A Book By Michel
Danino

5. A book comes along once in a way which hits
you hard; and this is one of those. I
discovered Swami Vivekananda through his
Complete Works at the age of 40, and I kicked
myself for having missed it for such a
prolonged period of my life. I kick myself
again after a decade, as I discover another
giant, Sri Aurobindo, through his articles,
letters, speeches, and conversations. Sri
Aurobindo is unfortunately a vaguely known
figure in the collective Indian psyche. Most
students are dimly aware that he did
something for India and spirituality, but that is
the beginning and end of their knowledge on
Sri Aurobindo. At least that was the case with
me in my growing years despite a more than
adequate exposure to education and libraries.

6. It is a loss for us because Sri Aurobindo has a deep
relevance to our country and our future. Spirituality
defined him, but it was not the spirituality of a
renunciating monk. He was rooted firmly in the
realities of the world around him; and India’s future
worried him. His articles show an unclouded vision of
India. For instance, he believed that India’s future
should be rooted in its ancient past. A blind aping of
European ideals in terms of politics, administration,
morals, ethics, law, and so on would be a recipe for
disaster. We had a character of our own; we did well
over thousands of years solving our own problems;
and, there is no reason this could not happen in the
future too. Foreign rule destroyed our shell, but the
core was still intact, he thought.

7. In this wonderful book, Sri Aurobindo comes
alive as another great author, Michel Danino,
carefully selects his writings in the context of
India’s future. Sri Aurobindo wrote extensively
on an overwhelming variety of topics, and it
would be an act of consummate skill to select
those which would be a representation of the
divine man. Not only that, a great motivation
would push the reader to explore further. This
book looks mostly to present the great man’s
views on India- her glorious past, the
tumultuous present of his times, and an
optimistic future. Sri Aurobindo was sincere in
his belief that a spiritual India would be the
only hope for a divine future of the world
rather than the western materialism of
limited utility.
