REALIZATION OF GOD ACCORDING TO SRI AUROBINDO George Nedumpalakunnel (Hardcover - Jan 1, 1979)]

Sri Aurobindo stood ultimately for a synthesis and union of the East and West, on a spiritual basis that preserved the diversity of its units. He did not want a union on any mechanical or material basis. But Heehs never dwells at length on this crucial topic. Instead, he asserts hastily that Sri Aurobindo neither understood the nature of the international order before and during the First World War nor did he understand the advent of modernity and the religion of humanity, which Heehs seems to hold as absolute (p.288-289, 295, 296, 306).  1:17 PM

The value of Aurobindo's contributions is a separate issue. One does not reject the professional work of some scientists in India simply because they have exhibited alarming credulity in succumbing to the cult of "Satya Sai Baba". One does not reject Newton's scientific greatness simply because he was also pursuing Biblical fundamentalism "research" in some of his notebooks. So, there is also no reason to reject any valuable contributions Aurobindo has made to the intellectual and political life in India simply because he entertained baseless beliefs in "yogic force", "hostile forces" and such. Posted by drraghu to Savitri Era Open Forum at 6:50 AM, June 08, 2010
