Sri Aurobindo was nominated twice for the Nobel Prize without it being awarded, in 1943 for the Nobel award in Literature and in 1950 for the Nobel award in Peace.
Sri Aurobindo assigned a very important role to the teacher as a role model, philosopher and guide in a student’s life.
Sri Aurobindo attached great importance to India’s Sanskrit heritage and wrote once that he considered a proper understanding of the Ṛig Veda a “practical necessity for the future of the human race”. (The Rig Veda is an ancient Indian text that belongs to the Vedic period, dating back to approximately 1500-1200 BCE.)
Philosopher Sri Aurobindo is most remembered for his masterwork book: The Life Divine, of which one Indian scholar described as “intellectually perfect”.
After listening to Chapter One of The Life Divine as read in audio format, the reader might agree.
Wisdom as provided by Sri Aurobindo is urgently needed in these days of dangerousness, precarity and absence of spiritual guidance on planet Earth; one may be so bold as to say that only (applied) spiritual power now can save the human race from World War III and self-annihilation.
