Sri Aurobindo was een sleutelfiguur in het Indiase nationalisme en een diepgaande denker. Van vrijheidsstrijder transformeerde hij tot filosoof en wijdde zich aan het verwoorden van een visie op menselijke vooruitgang en spirituele evolutie. Centraal in zijn denken staat het concept van de evolutie van het leven naar een 'goddelijk leven', waarbij de mensheid wordt gezien als een overgangsfase naar een 'supermens'. Zijn uitgebreide geschriften verdiepen zich in metafysica, de synthese van yoga en het ideaal van menselijke eenheid, terwijl zijn poëzie thema's van spirituele transformatie verkent.

This book contains Sri Aurobindo s final translation and analysis of the Isha Upanishad.
