1. Sir Aurobindo's life

After returning to India he took up various civil services works under the maharaja of the princely state of Baroda and begun increasingly involved in nationalist politics and the nascent revolutionary movement at in Bengal.

His main literary works are the was life Divine, Which dew with theoretical aspects of integral yoga, synthesis of yoga, and Savitri, A legend and a symbol an epic poem. He was nomi for the Nobel Prize in literature in 1943.

2. Introduction to renaissance in India

In the essay written in 1918 and entitled the renaissance in India, Sri Aurobond presents us with a masterly view of India's culture through the age's essential spirit and his characteristic soul, her unique genius and powers which gave her remarkably long periods of greatness and an unusually prolific creativity.

• Renaissance in India

"The renaissance in India" consists of four essay that were first Published in Arya from August to November 1918. In the first and the class longest essay. Sri Aurobond discusses the appreciate or lake therefor of then "renaissance" happened in India.

Sri Aurobond then identifies three "impulses" that arise from the "impact of European life culture ".

The western impact reacalkend "a free activity of the intellect ". " it know threw definitely in to ferment of modern ideas into the old culture" and " it made us turn our look upon all feel our past contains with new eyes". Such a renaissance would have thace tasks to accomplish in the light of India spirit, the endeavor to formulate agreaber synthesis of a spiritualist society is one of the most difficult.

The first step was the reception of the European culture, a medical re consideration of many of the prominent elements and some revolutionary denial of the very principles of the old culture. The second was a reaction of the Indian spirit upon the European influence sometimes with a total denial of what it offered and a stressing both of the essential and the strict letter of the national past, which yet masked movement of assimilation.

The third, only now beginning or recently begun, is rather a process of new creation in which the spiritual power of the Indian mind remain supreme, recovers its truth accept whatever it finds sound or true, useful or inevitable of the modern idea and form, but so transmutes and indinness it.

Sir Aurobindo predict that if the last were to happen, "the result will be no more Asiatic modification of western modernism, but some great new and original thing of the first importance if the future of human civilization".

In the third essay, sri Aurobindo offers an overview of some of the movements and figure of the renaissance, all the while pointing to what lies ahead finally, in the fourth essay, he once again stresses that the best course of action to India lies in being herself, recovering her native genius, which is a reassertion of its ancient spiritual ideal it only in "the knowledge" and conscious application of the ideal" that the future of both India and the world lies. Whatever she can rise up to this task or not is a question that he leaves open.

3. critical Analysis

If we were to aqua lute the recent cultural history of India in the light of this essay we will clearly see that the course of post-independence India has the regaining of material, even military might not necessarily the reaffirmation of India's spiritual ideal, so, to that extent, sri Aurobindo's has been proved both right and wrong. Right in that the spiritual is realized not in the denial of the material but actually in the Robert plenitude of the material subordinated to the spiritual ideal. We see in present day India a great effort to attain such material prosperity But whether the, spiritual idea of India remains intact is a question that is not easily answer to all appearances, India has gone the way of the rest of the world worshiping mammon our religion, too is consumerism. To say that spirituality is the master key to the Indian Psyche these days would seen more the expectation than the rule.

When we re examine Sri Aurobland's Ideas today, we can even conclude that the truth gift of the Renaissance was the modem Indian nation. Despite all its draw backs and peelings, this nation seems to be the best means that we have to preseave our culture and to express our own destiny. This nation has not only serviced the ravages of the ravages of the partition, but every conceivable threat both internal and external, its very existence. But having met and overcome these challenge, it seems to be poised to take our civilization to new heights. This is not an inconsiderable achievement can India embody the best its unique cultural heritage and also become a modern nation? This is the question there we must wait for the future to answer.

The most important contribution of Sri Aurobindo to the discussion on the Indian renaissance is as is after the case with his work, in what is yet to be realized .Sri Aurobido says that the rise of India in necessary for puncture of humanity itself. The third and most difficult task for the Indian renaissance has been the new creation that will come from a unique fusion of ancient Indian spirituality and morality, modernity. This fusion will be instruction in spirituality the world and in bringing about what many have called a global translation. In our present times of the clash of civilizations such an idea may seem utopian, but the very survival of the planet dependence on a hope and belief

that something of this sort is not only possible but inevitable.
