Book Description
About the Book
Little known in his own country, Sri Aurobindo was nevertheless one of the more significant personalities of 20th-century India. After studying Humanities in England, he embarked on a political struggle to challenge Britain's colonial domination over India. In 1906, he founded the newspaper Bande Mataram, laying the groundwork of India's future independence, notably through passive resistance, which was later adopted by Gandhi. But far from Gandhi's pacifism, Sri Aurobindo was convinced that freedom could only be achieved via action, and even via armed struggle. Absorbed by India's century-old wisdom, his commitment to his country was doubled by an unremitting inner spiritual quest. In 1910, Sri Aurobindo began another life in Pondicherry. In his written works, notably The Life Divine, published in 1920, he propounded an 'Integral Yoga' describing the conditions of the The Great Passage', meant to lead to the next evolution of mankind. His work influenced and attracted disciples from around the world to his Ashram, founded in 1926, with his companion Mirra Alfassa, and later to the Auroville community, a few kilometres from Pondicherry. Through this biography, Luc Venet reveals the unfolding of Sri Aurobindo's exceptional force and opens up the path to a new evolution of humanity. Born in Paris in 1943, Luc Venet discovered Sri Aurobindo at the time of the 1968 student uprisings in Paris. A seeker and teacher in Mathematics, he soon understood that his kind of 'revolution' was not to be found picketing in the streets of Paris. At 26, he left for Pondicherry, where he remained for several years.

About the Author
Luc Venet was born in Paris in 1943. At the age of 26, while a Mathematics teacher, he discovered Sri Aurobindo's message and visited the Ashram of Pondicherry in South India. There he met the Mother, Sri Aurobindo's long-time spiritual companion, who was 91 years old at the time. This meeting changed his life. In 1972, he was accepted by the Mother to live and work in Auroville, the International Community she had projected a few miles from Pondicherry. He worked in publishing and built one of the the very first experimental houses in Auromodèle. In 1977, leaving Auroville for America, he helped Satprem publish the complete set of Mother's Agenda in English the day-to-day account of Mother's cellular transformation in her attempt to seek the emergence of a new humanity on earth. Luc Venet now lives in southern France.
