Concept of Maya through the Lens of Aurobindo's Integral Vedanta

Sri Aurobindo propounded the Integral Vedanta, a philosophy discarding the dualistic approach of traditional Vedanta and conforming with the Advaita Vedanta of Sankara. However, Aurobindo contradicts with Sankara, in the latter’s Illusionist Advaita addressing the world as an illusion or maya against the Reality of the existence of Spirit. The present paper seeks to unravel Aurobindo’s nuanced approach of Harmony between the empirical world and the spiritual realm of the Absolute, Brahman. The research, further, is an attempt to delve into Sri Aurobindo’s treatment of maya in his selected works.
