Aurobindo showed his talent completing his studies with Greek, Latin and German language along with English. Aurobindo's father expected that his son would be a magistrate, but Aurobindo did not like to work with the British, who had kept India under the sole of their shinning shoes, since ages.

After 14 years of his stay in England, Aurobindo returned to India. He subsequently became a professor of English literature in Baroda College. During his stay at Baroda, Aurobindo was always thinking of ways to independent India from the brutal clasp of British government. At this time, he came across sister Nivedita, who advised him to assemble the young patriots in Kolkata.

Aurobindo, whose heart always ached with the city's memory left his job and once again, returned to his favourite Kolkata. There, he took the job of a lecturer in the National College. Aurobindo's sincere initiation built up many armed revolutions in Bengal. But he didn't merely stop at this but began writing logical articles against the government activities, which were published in countrywide newspapers. The result was inevitable. He was taken into custody in the charge of conspiracy against the government. Later, barrister C.R. Das helped him to get bail.

After staying for 8 years in Kolkata, Arobindo spent the rest of his life in Pondichery, away from the material world in search of salvation. He built an Ashram there which is a well established center for education and spiritualism.

Not only the Indians, but the whole world gave him the title of Rishi. He died at the age of 78 on December 5, 1950.
