ABSTRACT
Aurobindo’s attempt at reconciliation and synthesis extended to Eastern and Western philosophy. It involved him in the use of both Hindu and Western modes of thought and his complex system is marked by spiritual insights expressed in highly esoteric terminology. Though he failed to stir the imagination of the people in the same way as men like Vivekānanda and Gandhi he still succeeded in inspiring enthusiasm in small groups of intellectuals for the cultural heritage of India, especially the Vedas and the Upanishads in which his philosophy is firmly rooted.
