Sri Aurobindo Ghose' s views on Indian Culture.

          Sri Aurobindo the philosopher of India. He was a poet , nationalist leader. He was given a unique interpretation on Indian culture. He has distinctly improve  of the age on the subject. The meaning of India’s cultural history is deeper and ideas and thoughts in his writings. He was the ignorant foreign criticisms against Indian culture. Sri Aurobindo has given a new scope to the Indian culture. He was an agreement Indian culture more as an advocate of the human trust towards spirituality and inner development.

Sri Aurobindo foundation for Indian culture :

Sri Aurobindo's remark “Indian civilisation has been expression of a culture is great in

  • Religion,
  • Philosophy, 
  • Science, 
  • Thought of many kinds literature,
  • Art and poetry, 
  • The organisation of society and politics, 
Sri Aurobindo discover again that  this truth and genius of Indian culture. Sanskrit is the mother tongue of the Indian culture. How it can be carried out to life and all its activities. It aspires to increase among the youth, a great love for India.

           Sanskrit has been the language of India’s soul,  through the language India has expressed herself in every region. In India Sanskrit is must play  true role in education system and in national life. Sanskrit is one of the most ancient, most entire and most beautiful of languages. Sanskrit language has given to india, Sanskrit not only given  to India but given to the whole world. Sri Aurobindo Ghose has taken projects on Sanskrit in the reference of Indian culture.

Sri Aurobindo views on Indian Culture:
  •  Indian Culture as spiritual:
         He was love the spiritual east culture but equally praise  the importance of West Culture also. He was believe that real power and perfection of man in the scientific development is a spiritual. The image of Indian culture is pale in that time but not invisible without power of inspiration. Sri Aurobindo could see a Indian Culture in a new form.

         The difference between Indian culture  and European culture from the spiritual of Indian civilisation. It is the rich and luxurious variety of its forms and rhythms that gives it its unique identity. A spirituality was the governor by Indian culture. The spirituality does not make only the highest goal of life but also tried to something which is done in the past that humans are turn their whole life towards spirituality.

           In the human mind religious is the  imperfect form of the spiritual emotion. The spiritual effort hold of life. The religious culture is known as  the name of Hinduism. And culture fulfill the purpose of Hinduism.

  • Indian Culture as ancient Indian culture :
          Sri Aurobindo gave us the India’s past cultural history in a different manner. It was really ancient Indian culture. In the past refuse  condition was attacked by European modernism. There was coming change in the whole world as a result of scientific development. The India was developed in present time and current situations. Aurobindo's ancient culture far different than the modern culture.

  • Aurobindo's Critical views on Indian culture:
          Sri Aurobindo's Critical view is that India warned that India change herself through the culture. India  shape again her culture forms to express Indian culture more powerfully and perfect in her ancient ideal form. 
            Sri Aurobindo could explain the declining and decadent Indian culture. But not all together spirit in dead form.

        # A Rationalistic critic on  Indian Culture :
                                                           
           When we try to define a culture and when that culture is the one in which we have an adult from which we draw our ideals and  maturity are likely from over other impacts. And we see that how other people's eye is always useful as interesting to know how others see our culture and our society.it will not change our view point for those people but we can get fresh ideas to a study of this kind and how to help our self motivation. According to Aurobindo there are different ways of seeing a foreign civilisation and culture. There is self-identification that gives us  light work. There are some impacts that how we could see our own sides and some perspective of different people.

           # The  Uniqueness of Indian Culture:
              The difference between Indian and European culture  from the spiritual goal of Indian civilisation. It turns into the impact on rich and luxurious people. In various forms and rhythms in unique according to Aurobindo indian culture is far different than the European culture.

           # The Indian culture Elicit by Aurobindo Ghose :                          
              What then was the true meaning of this ancient Indian culture as elicited by Sri Aurobindo? He unfolded the mine of this culture layer by layer so that we can recapture the essence of it. He held a mirror up to India’s scriptures, religion, literature and social, political and cultural history to reflect a comprehensive image of the tree of Indian culture. This image loomed large with its roots in the Vedic age, its rugged trunk of historical times and its branches and foliage responding readily to the life giving rays of the rising sun of the unfolding present and carrying in its secret folds the flowers of the future. To have this efflorescent future we are to gauge our heritage aright to help it in putting forth new leaves of promise during the current dawns and to meet the noons of the future.

             # The Indian Culture as Religion :
                According to Aurobindo Ghose, A study of Indian religion, spirituality, art, literature and politics in the light of the comparative criticism was importance in this reference. These facets are the very based of Indian culture. There are many reflections of an original source of Indian culture. The one spirit and one inspiration which was the minor action of this culture. That's why Indian civilisation demanded a religion philosophical culture. But man does not arrive at that highest inner  aspects. For this at first Aurobindo Ghose needs lower supports and stages of slope. So Aurobindo Ghose asked for some worship, image or symbol on which he can stand. While Aurobindo Ghose construct him as the temple of the spirit.
            The dark sky of Indian culture is silver lined by Sri Aurobindo’s thought. India will be the chief in a new up coming world.  The spiritual and intellectual way between East Indian culture and West Indian culture. There was the influence of Gita and Upanishads on great reason. The goal of Indian culture was a permanent organising.

Conclusion: 
         The most important contribution of Sri Aurobindo in Renaissance in India is actually is necessary for Culture of humanity and indian culture. Sri Aurobindo was an Indian philosopher. His views on Indian culture are very different than other writers. His views on Indian culture is Uniqueness in Indian culture, The Indian culture as religion etc. He was focused on Indian culture in Renaissance literature.
