SRI AUROBINDO (AUROBINDO GHOSE)


From Sampath’s Desk:


SRI AUROBINDO (AUROBINDO GHOSE)

     (15 August 1872 - 5 December 1950)


 A great philosopher-poet, nationalist, spiritual guide - all rolled into one;

You had millions of Indian (and even abroad) hearts to win;

For sometime You were part of the Indian Sinn Fein;

Threw the foreign degrees and ICS aspiration into the dustbin!

 

As strong as a mountain;

Proved Yourself the spiritual captain;

Inspiring words flowed freely from You as a fountain;

Making the freedom fighters’ courage sustain!

 

Said Tagore, “You have the word” of your choice;

And “the nation will speak through your voice”;

Said the Divine Mother, “Without Him I exist not”;

And “without Me, He is unmanifest”!

 

A multi-linguist, You were an ocean of knowledge and information;

And an apostle of Indian nationalistic institution;

It was in jail cell when You were awakened to the Divine Mission;

You had a large posse of Divine followers to fulfill your vision!

 

A firebrand, atom-bomb and missile at the inception;

An erupting volcano turned into a flower-garden of divine definition;

The two chapters of Your lifetime were unique inter-twined coalition;

Pondicherry was Your right, serene and tranquil destination!

 

Your reclusion in incarceration enhanced your spirits;

As Your saintly quest overwhelmed political wits and merits;

Your most treasured gift to us was the Divine Mother with powers of infinite limits;

Whose face was as radiant as rose conferring on us Divine benefits!

 

Yoga, You believed, energized and synergized the body, soul and mind;

That was the Supramental Truth You highlighted to the humankind;

Leaving the occidental education and practices behind;

And taking Your powers of Supernatural-being to the sky and beyond!

 

The Yogic life in jail transformed You into a mystical Master;

For younger generation You were a veritable and venerable God’s Minister;

As translucent as alabaster, You made us realize things faster;

Preventing the life becoming a disaster!

 

You rightly thundered, “As knowledge grows, light flames up from within;

Look to the noons of future, don’t belong to past dawns;

Refuse to be affluent slave pawns;

And to beg before the alien boss at his lawns!”

 

You were as hot as an inferno, but as cool as ice;

Your foresight and insight were far greater than that met human eyes;

You chose the holy route to trigger political renaissance;

For India to get independence and become a paradise!

 

Your ‘Yogashram’ happened to be the British prison;

‘‘Love is yearning of the one for the one”;

You set this norm for everyone;

Not to be forgotten by anyone!

 

You and the Divine Mother were an endowment to the humanity;

Like two sides of the same coin with perennial benignity;

With an unparalleled lifetime affinity;

Entered into the hearts of the Divine workers to reign there in eternity!
