ABSTRACT
Sri Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi, two prominent thinkers of the 20th century, were concerned with problems afflicting the human world and explored solutions to them in their unique ways. While Gandhi emphasized on means of nonviolence to realize the goals of human unity and international peace, Sri Aurobindo emphasized the evolutionary principle, which is not essentially moral but spiritual. While for Gandhi, war is immoral and ideas such as Just War or Dharma Yuddh is pariah to him, for Sri Aurobindo for human unity any means, including war, may have a place. The evolutionary method of Sri Aurobindo transcends this means and end debate and dichotomy involved in it and prefers to adopt an integral approach to life and society, where the evolutionary logic ultimately transforms the fractured human society into the ideal human society.
