In 1910, Sri Aurobindo developed his philosophy of Integral Yoga, which sought to synthesize Eastern mysticism with Western evolutionary thought. Aurobindo proposed a spiritual evolution towards a higher consciousness, termed 'supramental.' His teachings have had a lasting impact on spiritual practices and modern philosophical thought, encouraging individuals to pursue a holistic approach to personal and collective transformation.

Sri Aurobindo's development of Integral Yoga philosophy in 1910 inspired a unique genre of Indian English epic and mystical poetry, focusing on the divine transformation of earthly life rather than escape from it. Poets like Aurobindo himself and his contemporaries explored the intersection of spirituality and creativity.
