Aurobindo, known as Sri Aurobindo (Sri Ôrobindo), (15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950), born Aurobindo Ghose, was an Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi, guru, and poet. He joined the Indian movement for independence from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then became a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution.
Aurobindo studied for the Indian Civil Service at King's College, Cambridge, England. After returning to India he took up various civil service works under the maharaja of the princely state of Baroda and began to involve himself in politics. He was imprisoned by the British for writing articles against British rule in India. He was released when no evidence was provided. During his stay in the jail he had mystical and spiritual experiences, after which he moved to Pondicherry, leaving politics for spiritual work.
During his stay in Pondicherry, Aurobindo developed a method of spiritual practice he called Integral Yoga. The central theme of his vision was the evolution of human life into a life divine. He believed in a spiritual realisation that not only liberated man but transformed his nature, enabling a divine life on earth. In 1926, with the help of his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa (referred to as "The Mother"), he founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. He died on 5 December 1950 in Pondicherry.

August 15, 1947 On the day India attained freedom, a voice spoke to the nation. The voice of the first Indian leader who demanded complete independence from British rule. Sri Aurobindo had been asked to give a message on this great occasion. These are his opening words : "August 15th, 1947 is the birthday of free India. It marks for her the end of an old era, the beginning of a new age. But we can also make it by our life and acts as a free nation an important date in a new age opening for the whole world, for the political,social, cultural and spiritual future of humanity."

Da un documentario Rai realizzato nei primi anni settanta. Di Davide Montemurri, con Giorgio Albertazzi e altri.
Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) practiced and taught a form of yoga which he called Integral Yoga. He described the philosophical and psychological bases of this yoga in his written works. Though these works contain some references to Indian yoga traditions, they steer clear of sectarianism and attempt to develop a trans-personal psychology of human becoming, leading to what he called a "divine" life. Yet, at the same time that he was formulating his teachings in these works, he also maintained a diary of his yoga sadhana that was couched in terms of esoteric Sanskrit terminology derived from traditional lineages of yoga. This talk will consider Sri Aurobindo's own spiritual practices and experiences in developing his evolutionary psychology of Integral Yoga. In doing this, it will clari...

Majesty Warpaint
When I'll hold your hand

When I helped you
When I held your hand
You still went the other way
And you wanted me to stay
With my arms stretching away
With my arms stretching away
I coulnd't stand outside
Cause I adore your face
I adore your face
Could it be light harm
The same, could it be
I'm your mirror
Shall we we all those things
That you never wanted to face
So you let me slip away
You just watched me walk away
And I just have to ask
Do you know your fate?
Do you know your fate?
Could it be that

Could it be that
You are my
Majesty
When it all comes back
When it all falls into place

And I wanted you by my side
The perfect match

The perfect match
Could it be that
I'm your
Could it be that
You are my
Majesty
You could have been marquis
You could have been marquis
You could have been marquis
