Indian philosopher, poet, and yogi who began as a Bengali revolutionary and transformed into a spiritual philosopher developing integral yoga — a synthesis of traditional yoga with evolutionary thought.
Integral Yoga: a comprehensive yoga that includes matter, life, mind, and spirit — unlike world-denying yoga, it aims at transforming the material world through spiritual force. The Life Divine: evolution has a spiritual dimension — Involution (spirit descending into matter) and evolution (matter ascending back to spirit). Savitri: an epic poem of 24,000 lines. Synthesis of Yoga: a systematic account of integral yoga.
