Dr. Beloo Mehra penned the book Understanding Contemporary India in the Light of Sri Aurobindo. This soft cover book of 207 pages is a collection of essays written over a period of time that provides a bird’s-eye view of contemporary India in the light of Sri Aurobindo’s (Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) thought.
The essays capture current Indian mindsets on social and cultural issues confronting the country and emphasise the relevance of Sri Aurobindo’s views on revitalising India in ways that will allow the nation to live out its essential characteristic, spirituality, in all walks of life.
Dr Mehra stresses the importance that Sri Aurobindo placed on original thinking for a vibrant national life, affirming its power to add vigour and strength to the character of a people.
