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. Through his widespread influence on the Hindu intelligentsia he strengthened the modern Hindu movement in the 1930s and 1940s. After his death his followers developed the city of Auroville at his ashram.
