The Life Divine

Record summary

Sri Aurobindo’s The Life Divine develops a modern Hindu philosophical account of planes of existence, divine consciousness, gods, and beings between ordinary humanity and the Absolute. It matters as a conceptual comparator for “intermediary beings,” especially because it reframes older religious categories within an evolutionary and integral-yoga system. The work is philosophical rather than a collection of independently witnessed encounters. Researchers should verify which passages appeared in Arya and which were substantially revised for later editions, since wording and emphasis changed across publication history.
