Writer, poet and academic, Makarand R. Paranjape has written at great depth on Indian philosophers in alignment with the freedom movement. In his edited anthology, Sri Aurobindo, he explores the brilliant and complex mind of the remarkable yogi and seer-poet. The volume taps onto the lesser-known essays written during the struggle for Independence and traces the development of Sri Aurobindo's philosophical and religious thought, culminating in the system of Integral Yoga. Medical doctor Pariksith Singh is also a poet and philosopher. In his book, Sri Aurobindo and Philosophy, he takes a deep look into the Guru's life and ideas of an eternal and emergent India. In conversation with writer and poet Arundhathi Subramaniam, Paranjape and Singh explore their perspectives of Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy and his ‘inner quest’ as articulated in his writings and life.
