Looking into the dynamics of integral view of life and existence in the poems of Sri Aurobindo Ghose we find that there is a kind of Indianness associated with his poetry. It is interesting to note that he was a versatile genius. Apart from being a poet he was chiefly known as a sage, yogi, philosopher and a true nationalist. He has also edited newspapers like Vande Mataram. Thus, it becomes clear that Sri Aurobindo was not the master of a single trade but he was a versatile genius. He believed that in world nothing is permanent, a man must live a life of simplicity. He considered that all living and non-living things are going through the process of decay. It can be one of the reasons that he himself adopted the simplicity of a sage. According to his ideology we find that old customs and rituals are connected to our roots but they are also not permanent. Old order is replaced by new order and this is the way we can understand the philosophy of life. Sri Aurobindo was a man of moral principles. He knew that the ultimate reality of life was death. He guided people to live a meaningful life. His political agenda was guided through his sense of spirituality. In other word we can also say that he was aware of the consequences of his every action and it can be one of the reasons that he lived a selfless life. People trusted him because he lived for them. His school of thought was deeply buried under the inner consciousness of common man. Thus, it is evident that he was not just a man of moral principles but he represented an ideology. His literary talent has not been touched by early poets and historians. Critics and scholars are of the opinion that in the poems of Sri Aurobindo we can find glimpses of Indianness.
