Sri Aurobindo: A Brief Biography

by Peter Heehs

The blurb says, "Sri Aurobindo's life and writings (which range over spiritual discourse, philosophy, cultural history, poetry, linguistics and literary criticism) have hitherto been mainly written about by devotees.

The present short biography, while sympathetic, attempts a detached look at Aurobindo's career and thought. "Exploring Aurobindo the nationalist as well as the spiritualist and seer, Peter Heehs' book is an informed and accessible biography of modern India's major spiritual figure."
