He was named Arabinda but his name appears as the editor of Arya in 1914 as Sri Aurobindo Ghose. Subsequently, however, he signed as Sri Aurobindo and his books are published under this adopted name (pronounced as one composite word, श्रीअरविन्द). Writing Aurobindo is incorrect.

Founding of Savitri Era Learning Forum (2005), Savitri Era Religion (2006), and Savitri Era Party (2007) has liberated The Mother & Sri Aurobindo from earlier narrow representations and ownership. Twitter facilitating such dissemination is certainly in the evolutionary direction.

We Bengalis in the meantime spent time on crap literature all through this communist era,as rightfully mentioned,that brought in degeneracy in the collective intellectual thinking of our society,heck we couldn't even translate or work on aurobindo literature till date.

I pay my homage to Dr. Bindu Bhushan Dutta, former Rajya Sabha MP from Shillong and an academician as he leaves this materialistic world. A man with vision who established Sri Aurobindo Institute of Indian Culture in Shillong will always be attestation of his thoughts.

How many people on Twitter (both Tamil & Hindi speaking folks) know that Amritlal Nagar spent lot of time in Madras? In fact he wanted to associate himself, in a long term with Tamil movie industry. He had few minor associations. He was the man who dubbed M.S. Subbulakshmi's

RT : This will sound familiar to the Dharmic worldview folks. Of course, Ken Wilber himself (referenced extensively in this article) was hugely influenced by Sri Aurobindo. As always, reading Daniel Wahl is insightful.
