Cornell Endowed Chair of Religion, Rollins College, USA * This collection of essays by leading Sri Aurobindo scholars provides an accessible introduction to his wide-ranging thought. It should bring the work of this important philosopher to a new generation of readers. * Peter Heehs, Author of 'The Lives of Sri Aurobindo' and 'Spirituality without God' * A comprehensive anthology of several aspects of the Mahayogi's vision. While some of the articles are excellent introductory studies, as a whole the compilation is expected to arouse a creative quest in the readers for the luminous horizon of Light nonpareil. * Manoj Das, Author and Professor of English Literature, Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, India * The learned essays in this volume establish that the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo brilliantly reconciles dualities, including spirituality and practicality, metaphysics and politics, local utopias and world culture. This entire volume is relevant and inspiring; may it enjoy wide distribution and influence. * Robert McDermott, President Emeritus and Professor of Philosophy and Religion, California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), USA *
