Abstract
Sri Aurobindo , was an Indian nationalist, freedom fighter, philosopher, yogi, guru and poet. He joined the
Indian movement for freedom from British rule, for a while became one of its influential leaders and then
turned into a spiritual reformer, introducing his visions on human progress and spiritual evolution. Swami
Vivekananda, known in his pre-monastic life as Narendranath Datta, was born in an affluent family in
Kolkata. His father,Vishwanath Datta, was a successful attorney with interests in a wide range of subjects,
and his mother, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, was endowed with deep devotion, strong character and other
qualities. A precocious boy, Narendra excelled in music, gymnastics and studies. By the time he graduated
from Calcutta University, he had acquired a vast knowledge of different subjects, especially Western
philosophy and history. These, then the Shâstras, the Guru, and the Mother¬land are the three notes that
mingle themselves to form the music of the works of Vivekananda .The present paper brings out the critical
analysis of the philosophies of the two great spiritual philosophers and writers in a comparative style.
