Chittaranjan Das, in his defence of Sri Aurobindo during the Alipur Trial, described him as the poet of patriotism, the prophet of nationalism and the love of humanity.

In this monograph, Manoj Das has given particular attention to these three aspects of Sri Aurobindo's multi-faceted personality and achievement. Sometime after his acquittal at Alipur, Sri Aurobindo retired to Pondicherry, and as a result of the gains of his Yoga, he projected his vision of the future in The Life Divine and in the great symbolistic epic, Savitri. Manoj Das has given due attention to this later and greater phase of Sri Aurobindo's career also. Altogether it is an informative and perceptive monograph on one of our indubitable makers of literature and builders of modern India.
