Abstract

SRi AUROBINDO ON INCARNATION AND THE LOVE OF GOD BY E. G. PARRINDER Sri Aurobindo Ghose was one of the most eminent of modern In- dian philosophers and has a considerable following. His background was thoroughly English; brought to England at at early age and edu- cated in the European classics and literature, and undergoing Christian influence in home and school. His many writings are solely in English, and an English of great fluency and delicacy. Yet after his return to the land of his birth, Aurobindo became thoroughly Indian and indeed Hindu, so that there is less open trace of European thought in his writings than in those of many of his Indian contemporaries. It is striking to compare the writings of Sri Aurobindo with, for example, those of the eminent philosopher-president of India, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. Dr Radhakrishnan is noted for his constant synthesis of Eastern and Western writings. In his well known commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita there are frequent references not only to Plato and Plotinus, but to Spinoza and Wordsworth, to St Paul, St Teresa, Thomas a Kempis, Eckhart, Tauler, Luther, and so on. But, apart from one or two general references to Greek
