Atimanaba: Sambhabana O Pratishruti

The book Samabhabana O Pratisruti by Prof. Mohapatra Nilamanik Sahoo and Dr. Archana Nayak offers a comparative study of the philosophies of Sri Aurobindo and Friedrich Nietzsche, focusing on Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga. The authors explore how both thinkers address human potential and aspirations (sambhabana) as well as the promises (pratisruti) inherent in human nature and consciousness. Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga emphasizes a spiritual evolution where the individual undergoes integral transformation—uniting body, mind, and spirit to manifest a higher consciousness on earth. Nietzsche's philosophy centers on the concept of the Übermensch ("Superman"), symbolizing the ideal of human will, power, and self-overcoming beyond conventional morality. The book highlights both the similarities and differences between these two worldviews. It provides a thoughtful dialogue between Eastern spiritual traditions and Western existential philosophy, explaining how both contribute to understanding self-realization and evolution in material and spiritual life. This work is valuable for readers interested in philosophy, spirituality, and the blending of diverse intellectual traditions, offering deep insights into human potential and the journey toward higher consciousness.
