摘要

This discussion examines two recent works on Sri Aurobindo—Reading Sri Aurobindo (eds. Chikermane & Ganguli) and Reading Sri Aurobindo: Metaphysics, Ethics, and Spirituality (ed. Puri). The former provides a structured overview of Sri Aurobindo’s writings, while the latter critically engages with his thought in relation to contemporary issues such as the role of spirituality in our times, climate change, neoliberalism, and political polarization. Puri’s volume highlights Sri Aurobindo’s role as both a yogi and anti-colonial thinker, emphasizing Integral Yoga as a transformative praxis. It explores his vision of a “gnostic society” and posthuman spirituality, challenging Western appropriations of yoga. Together, these works offer critical perspectives on Sri Aurobindo’s legacy, serving as catalysts for further inquiry into Integral Yoga’s relevance for cultural and spiritual transformation in the 21st century.
