Book Description:

This work aims at creating an impetus for a wider and richer understanding of Sri Aurobindo and Ken Wilber’s views. The reflections and critical comments aim to analyse and clarify various discrepansies between them. The author does not assert the superiority of one view over the other, he goes beyond allegiance to any one approach. The subject matter of this book is so vast that it would be presumptuous to attempt to deal with it and it would be presposterous to pretend to a final solution to a set of ideas as comprehensive as these worldview. The author is aware that the contents of this comparative study may appear offensive to the followers of Sri Aurobindo as a misrepresentation of his works. He tries to stimulate a fruitful dialogue and evaluates this dialogue in a sympathetic manner when he refers to the intentions of both thinkers.
