"Sri Aurobindo was an Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet. He joined the Indian movement for freedom from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then turned into a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution. In 1926, with the help of his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa (""The Mother""), he founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram."
