#SriAurobindo
Protagoras had said, "Man is the measure of all things." Feuerbach claimed that it was man who created God. Western thought has been prisoner of such speculative ideas though written in superlative prose styles. In Sri Aurobindo otoh we find intuitive presentation of the reality.
Sri Aurobindo played a stellar role in the Freedom struggle and inspired many revolutionaries. He also wrote about the greatness of India and even wove into it it becoming a beacon of light for the entire world. But his #ThirdDream of #WorldUnion weaved to a different destination
Religions don't exist in books but rather in people's hearts. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo have created a new proposition which can attract hearts.
The Mother book has attained a cult status but it's a collection of letters written by SA at different points of time. The four powers of The Mother available in The Synthesis of Yoga hasn't achieved that popularity. Bases of Yoga is rather a much systematic guide for newcomers.
Learning Sanskrit is difficult and so better avoided. Sri Aurobindo's commentaries on ancient texts is sufficient for any modern person. SAVITRI can be considered as an alternative to the Veda and regular recitation can be rewarding. Mother's Agenda should also be treated as same
Offering oneself in the hands of The Mother is what is needed. Until that happens decisively, one can't derive the full benefit of Sri Aurobindo's Supermind or the march of Evolution. No other initiation is needed; reading their books will give necessary guidance and inspiration.
There's no prohibition against plumbing successive milestones or evaluation. But there's also the Sunlit Path. So it depends upon one's preponderance. Absolutely democratic and liberal. @NathTusar
Problem is you don't consider Sri Aurobindo of any consequence while looking at history. This is a big black hole in Indian scholarship.
Sri Aurobindo wrote hundreds of letters on accessing inner domains but not many were successful. So a newcomer needn't be intimidated by those prescriptions. Expecting fast results should be avoided too. Aspiration for transformation of human nature must be a slow and steady act.
With every passing day you lose the chance of reading some portions of Sri Aurobindo's writings. Start now and observe your transformation.
Certain polemical portions in his writings notwithstanding, Sri Aurobindo extolling Swami Dayananda as true seer of the Veda needs attention

[My family is related to Sri Aurobindo and I had been meaning to read his texts for a while. I read what I thought my characters would read. Shashi is a student of philosophy at Jadavpur University; so, I made attempts to read Hegel and Sri Aurobindo.] -AG
