An Indian Aesthetic Consciousness of Natural Corollary in Sri Aurobindo’s Select Poems

Abstract

Eco aesthetic is a critical mode of English poetry in Indian aesthetics. It has a poise of nature consciousness of spiritual unity. Nature literature aims at a rational conception of the reality as a whole. It seeks to gain true insight into the general structure of the universe and man's relation to nature. The aim of this paper is to examine Sri Aurobindo's shorter lyrics, in particular, the glimpses of nature in Indian aesthetic realization. This purpose of eco- centric view of literature is not to place some high alien aim before man and nature. It has to uncover the ultimate purpose of human being. In this, nature is seeking unconscious transformation of one being with universe. Sri Aurobindo's aesthetic natural lyrics speak to the cosmic consciousness of delight. The natural identity of the soul that has the eternal value of supreme one and it carries the experience of life and death from birth to birth, the soul that connects the sequence of experiences. This versus in Indian aesthetics is celebrating the immortal in nature and it evokes the eternal relationship towards human.
