Sri Aurobindo: Concept of an Educational Philosopher

His ideas have already influence the development of transpersonal psychology in many ways. By the time of Sri Aurobindo’s passing in 1950, his reputation had grown international. The teaching of Sri Aurobindo starts from that of the ancient sages of Indian that behind the appearances of the universe. Sri Aurobindo says that intuition is a vehicle whereby knowledge from the higher levels of consciousness, which he postulated, can be obtained. He saw the interaction of Hindu and Muslim culture in India as an opportunity for the development of a greater spiritual principle and formation which could reconcile the two or a political patriotism surmounting the religious struggle and uniting the two communities. His vision was reflected in his philosophy, metaphysics yoga psychological thoughts and literature which represents a unique synthesis of the East and the West.
