Aurobindo Ackroyd Ghosh, the polymath Indian philosopher, freedom fighter, and revolutionary yogi, was trained in England in the Classics (St. Paul’s School and King’s College, Cambridge); it turns out he was an early proponent of the rising Asian century. Countless volumes have been written about his life and philosophy.
This may sound like a novel idea – “Asia is once more rising; she is throwing off the torpor of centuries. She is recovering the pride of her past and the faith in her future... It is through the recovery of the deeper self of Asia that the world will find its balance.” But Aurobindo prophesied this vision in 1918, and his collaborator Mirra Alfasaa executed it.
