Sri Aurobindo not only made history but also created a new historiography

Sri Aurobindo not only made history but also created a new historiography in the Foucauldian manner. Instead of probing the past in a linear fashion, he spoke with ease on various themes from a holistic perspective that often seem to be speculative sans empirical evidence. His ability to link his future vision to the tendencies arising out of inconspicuous and trivial events of the past is phenomenal. And what he could not elaborate in his prose was bared in his poems.

To collate all these clues and hints scattered across his wide body of writings and conversations so that we are able to relate them to our present confusions, is a gigantic task. Savitri Erans would, certainly, be able to stand up to the challenge. [TNM]
