[He urged the students to read books on spiritual leaders such as Vivekananda and Aurobindo and enrich their perspective on life... B.K. Krishnaraj Vanavarayar, chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Coimbatore...‘English education with Indian orientation needed’ The Hindu Wednesday, Nov 28, 2007] 11:18 AM
To link the name of Swami Vivekananda with Sri Aurobindo is a common practice in our country. Gandhi and Nehru are also treated as inseparable although their thinking and functioning varied widely. Such popular linkage does great harm to the true reception of the concerned personalities.
Admirers of Swami Vivekananda are legion, but only a minuscule of them has read the works of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. The majority are either unwilling or incapable of bearing the requisite intellectual strain. As a result, they never graduate from the traditional Shankaracharya school of Vedantic interpretation.
On the other hand, Sri Aurobindo's commentaries with evolution as the pivot find more audience in the Western world than in India. This is not a very pleasant situation. All neo-Hindu sects in India have a big responsibility in promoting intellectual growth of their devotees by advising them to read the works of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. [TNM]
