Sri Aurobindo, 1964 - Stamp, First Day Cover
















Sri Aurobindo, though brought up in British culture, was an Indian nationalist, philosopher, yogi and poet. His subject of study was different but the Sanskrit language made a deep impression on him.

A commemorative stamp, an FDC and a brochure were issued by the Indian Posts & Telegraphs on 15.08.1964.

Śrī Aurobindo's original writings in Sanskrit are Bhavānī Bhāratī, Śrī-Aravindopaniṣad, Saptacatuṣtaya and Tāntrika-siddhi-prakaraṇam.
