About Sri Aurobindo's Interpretation of Indian Culture
Sri Aurobindo’s profound exploration of Indian culture revealed the magnificent truths and secret knowledge hidden within the Vedas and Upanishads, the richness of spirit reflected in various hymns and sagas, and the underlying essence among different religions and their impact on shaping life and activities across centuries. Originally published as a series of essays in the journal Sri Aurobindo Circle, this book provides a literate, accessible introduction to Sri Aurobindo’s interpretation of Indian culture. Choosing to focus on Indian literature, Prema Nandkumar examines Sri Aurobindo’s insights in a comprehensive manner covering the Vedic age, the great Indian epics, Kalidasa’s place in world poetry, the classical age of Sanskrit writers with their cultured thought and high imagination, the Puranas, and several chapters on Indian religion and spirituality, culminating in the Sanatana Dharma, the eternal religion. The depth and breadth of his observations bring a new dimension to our understanding of Indian culture and its relevance in reclaiming her heritage for the modern age.
