A versatile genius and a revolutionary turned Mahayogi, Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950) was the visionary of a new world order. He may be called the most radical spiritual master ever, who challenged not only perceptions and theories but also our very idea of reality. Aurobindo's integral vision of life and spirituality, his theory of evolution of not only consciousness but matter as well, place him at the head of cutting edge thinkers of all time. This paper presents a bird's eye view of the synthesis of Eastern and Western philosophy, literature and psychology in his works – especially his verses. His poetry as well as his philosophy may be regarded as a happy synthesis of old and new, East and West, realism and idealism, pragmatism and spiritualism
