what is the difference between rishi aurobindo's philosophy & swami vivekananda's philosophy?who is better ?

Answer 1

Philosophy is like a banyan tree. It's stretch is vast. Though the tree is same branches are different. Each philosopher fallowed a branch suited to his path. Though Aurobindo taught Hindu philosophy, he advocated universal brother-hood and his speeches are soul searching. Where as Swami Vivekananda was a Staunch preacher of Hinduism. He had advocated philosophy with modern out-look. He opposed superstitious beliefs and blind faiths. He concentrated teachings to inspire youth. We can't judge who is better. To me both are best.

Answer 2

Maharishi Aurobindo is perhaps the only rishi of modern era, who provided a great philosophy of hinduism called Purna Yoga.

Before him i see only king Janak, to follow this yoga. Aurobindo's concept is thus new in this era and has some traces of Tantra philosophy which unfortunately vanished during the last 2000 years

While Vivekananda's main stress was on realising God through Raja Yoga, Aurobindo went many steps ahead taking Raja,bhakti and gyan yoga together and did not stop at realising God. He emphasied that real enlightenment would be coming back to the body with God consciousness and thus making a physical center of God in material world

Vivekanada's philosophy is simple and can be practiced by even new comers

To understand Aurobindo's philsoophy one has to understand Gita, all major Upanishadas a bit of Tantra, shaktism, and shavism...only then one can truely understand his philosophy
Aurobindo's philosophy is thus not for newbees, but for those who have already advanced on spirituality

Answer 3

Swami Vivekananda.

Answer 4

Vivekananda was a karmi
Better was aurobindo who was a jnani whose philosohpy has lot to do with more of jnana and little bit of bhakti.

It should be noted that that actual or highest is bhakti. After giving many instructions of Karma yoga, Jnana yoga, dhyana yoga etc... Lord Sri Krishna says in the last chapter of bhagavad-gita(18.55), bhaktya mam abhijanati, that is, "One can understand Me as I am, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead, only by devotional service. And when one is in full consciousness of Me by such devotion, he can enter into the kingdom of God".

If a crude example could be given karma-yoga is 10 rupees, Jnana yoga is 50 rupees, dhyana yoga is 100 rupees and Bhakti-yoga is unlimited rupees containing within it the lower denominations.

Answer 5

They are both a couple of turkeys.
