Sri Aurobindo was sent away to England at age seven because his father wanted to shield him from all influences Indian. But paradoxically, he went on to become one of the most powerful exponents of the Indian culture. Sri Aurobindo's spiritual collaborator, the Mother, who had studied the Gita as a teenager, finally came to India in 1920, and stayed here till she left the body in 1973. This book brings together, from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, some of the most educative and striking pieces about the Indian culture. The ancient Indian wisdom has something unique, which the materially saturated but spiritually starved western world is looking up to India for. The wisdom has the timeless key to living a full and fulfilling life, besides having potent, infallible prescriptions for lasting mental peace. This book is a window to that wisdom, a mere introduction that may stimulate the reader to delve deeper into the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
