v    Introduction :-

                            

                             Sri Aurobindo was one of the most creative and dominant figure in the history of the Indian renaissance and Indian nationalism. We also called him a versatile genius, because he was a great poet, a profound thinker, a notable meta physician a great seer and ardent patriot. He was also a good human being, who such has a true human spirit.

                             Let’s first we discussed about his life and work.

v    His Life :-

                  

                             Sri Aurobindo was born in Calcutta on 15 august 1872 at the age of seven he was taken to England for education and in 1890 went up to king’s college, Cambridge. In 1890 he passed the final examination for the Indian civil service.

He was the first political leader in India to openly put forward in his journal Bande Mataram, the ideal of complete independence for the country.

                             Sri Aurobindo left his body on 5 December 1950. His contribution to modern Indian political thought may conveniently be summarized under four headings.

                             Now, we briefly discuss about Sri Aurobindo’s views on youth.

v    Sri Aurobindo’s views on youth :-

                            

                   We discuss earlier that Sri Aurobindo was dominant figure in Indian Renaissance. And he became a very good human being, who was with the true human spirit. He spread his view in Indian Nationalism also. Because he was a great spirit if Indian Nationalism. He thinks lots of about his country and he continues work for his countries development with the help of his views in religion and youth.

                   When India was in half sleeping than Sri Aurobindo came with new idea. Sri Aurobindo came with new idea and written one essay in 1918 and entitled “the renaissance in India”. in this essay Sri Aurobindo presents us with a masterly view of India’s culture thought the ages her essential spirit and her characteristic soul, her unique genius and powers which gave her remarkably long periods of greatness and an unusually prolific creativity.

                   Sri Aurobindo believes that the Renaissance in India came with new hope and this new hope in India’s youth. When some great work done by some young people, we can say that why they do not work for their country. Sri Aurobindo believes in youth of India. And they also say that the youth is the main strength that they can do anything and they do for work in Indian renaissance.

                   When we re-examine Sri Aurobindo’s ideas today, we can even conclude that true gift of the renaissance was the modern Indian nation. The most important contribution on Sri Aurobindo to the discussion on the Indian renaissance is as is often the case with his work, in what is yet to be realized. Sri Aurobindo says that the rise of India is necessary for future of humanity itself. The third and most difficult task for the Indian renaissance has been the new creation that will come from a unique fusion of ancient Indian spirituality and modernity.

                   Sri Aurobindo’s hopes in youth that when we create a modern India, youth became a master key of create renaissance in India and create modernity in India, his hope with youth. He also believes youth means not physically youth but mentally. Who is mentally youth is called young of India.

                   Sri Aurobindo creates a modern India. And he think that when we create modern India. We get a spirit and this spirit came with youth. And Aurobindo also told that we get renaissance in India with the help of youth.

                   To active India’s “renaissance” Sri Aurobindo boldly and repeatedly called on his countrymen and youth to develop the Kshatriya spirit, almost lost after centuries of subjection:

                   “The Kshatriya of old mute again takes his rightful position in our social polity to discharge the first and foremost duty of defending its interests. The brain is important without the right arm of strength.”

                   This Kshatriya spirit half lot’s us to create modern India. Believed by Aurobindo and he told to youth of India that get this spirit and build new India.

v    Aurobindo’s Hopes in The youth :-

                   When Aurobindo tries to built modern India and get renaissances in India, his most of hopes in the youth. And his call is to young India. He call young and youth that the strength of India is youth and this strength is hope that came forward and built new India a modern India and renaissances in India.

                   “My God is Love

                                      And sweetly suffers all”

-      Sri Aurobindo

                   Sri Aurobindo believed that what India needs especially at this moment is the aggressive virtue, the spirit of soaring idealism, bold creation, and fearless, courageous attack; of the passive tams sic spirit of inertia we have too much. We need to cultivate another training and temperament, another habit of mind.

                   Sri Aurobindo’s hope in youth to built modern India and He also believe that youth strength is the major work do for making renaissance in India. And Sri Aurobindo also gives some examples of youth writer’s. Who gives their most important times to renaissance and literature? He gives names of like Sir William Jones (1746-1794), the founder of the Asiatic Society. The other grave in this chemistry is that of the young Eurasian pot, Henry Vivian Louis Derozio (1809-1831). The first of Indian English poets died before reaching the age of 22.

                   Sri Aurobindo’s most of hopes in youth because he believes some old idea cannot be erased by old people’s mind immediately. But the young generation can do these things very well because every new generation came with new idea. And the people of old thoughts they cannot suddenly changed and so, Aurobindo’s most hopes on youth.

                   Sri Aurobindo knew that every new generation came with new idea so his most of hopes on youth. He also says that, “Our call is to young India. It is the young who must be the builders of the new world not those who accept the competitive individualism, the capitalism or the materialistic communism of the west as India’s future Ideal, not those who are enslaved to old religious formulas and cannot believe in the acceptance and transformation of life by the spirit, but all who are free in mind and heart to accept a completer truth and labor for a greater ideal”

                   Sri Aurobindo told that with a new Idea came with youth is the best thing to build a new modern India and renaissance. Sri Aurobindo never tired of calling for what he termed a national education but also get renaissance in India also.

                    Sri Aurobindo’s hope in youth and new education. But he also told and believe that a new education start with past and its idea. Because he believes that when we built great nations some new thought necessary but we don’t forget the key of future’s things. And so he also fevers the past things also. He also says that the advance of the present is losing us the battle of life.

                   Aurobindo’s views on past was that he thinks that whenever we talk about something to future and rebuilt something. We don’t forget our past. Because whenever we learning in this time is coming with the help of past. So he called to younger’s that you learnt something about to past so it can be very helpful to you to create a new things. So Sri Aurobindo knew that youth is very much knowledge and with the help of this they do better things.
