Aurobindo Ghose (1872–1950)

Indian religious writer and leader, founder of Aurobindo Ashram (a centre for religious study) at Pondicherry, southern India. He wrote extensively on Hindu theology and philosophy, proposing a system called integral yoga to bring together body and soul, individual and community.

After his death his followers developed the city of Auroville at his ashram.
