Sri Aurobindo toiled for the larger issues of nationhood and human destiny

Sri Aurobindo had already given the definitive turn & animating impetus to Indias fledgling movement & fixed for it the goal of full freedom. Despite that subsequent leaders continued to vacillate but the idea was entrenched forever & impelled leader after leader including SCBose

During his self-imposed retreat Sri Aurobindo concentrated on the most severe form of inner tapasya & a herculean spiritual labor the likes of which has not been done & the effects of which we havent even begun to comprehend + using his Yog-shakti to guide events in India & world

In a nutshell it would have been much easier for Sri Aurobindo to have remained limited only to the political field. In any case he had already seen inwardly & proclaimed long back that dramatic world-events & massive upheavels wud inevitably result in India's independence.

Through occult sight, foreknowledge, yogic trikaladrishti, what Gita refers to in the line "vedaham samatitani vartamanani charjuna bhavisyani cha bhutani"

Neither I nor Sri Aurobindo (to my knowledge) has claimed to "solve" India's problems pertaining to British rule with occult practices. In any case his vision was proved true with the British Empire becoming impossible to sustain after WW2.

As for rann-chor it was a queer sort that stayed in full public view of the British right in their imperial backyard. If that was his intent he cud have run to much more comfortable life in any number of places. He in fact resisted British & French pressure & inducements to do 

Importance is a very broad term. You have to understand the true scope of the work that Sri Aurobindo did to get an idea of his importance. Merely getting British out was not so much the problem as subsequent events have proved but the larger issues of nationhood & human destiny.

It is these intractable and perennial issues that Sri Aurobindo took into his hand in the time that remained to him in his earthly body after he came to Pondicherry.

The ousting of the British was merely one step towards a much larger goal. What would be the use of British being ousted if the result was a failed kleptocracy & porous, de-moralized & ignorant little weakling of a despoitc, parasite goonda state that calls itself a "republic".

Yes, but the problem is much deeper. Why Nehrus? Why Cong? Why feku BJP? Why even Brits? The prblm is a loss of national consciousness. It was to dig this out at its roots, revive it in himself, recast it for our age & project it into future indefinitely that Sri Aurobindo worked
