Kālidāsa, the master poet has been widely acclaimed to have suggestively and poetically reflected the quintessence of ancient Indian tradition.
Aurobindo says “Vālmīki, Vyāsa and Kālidāsa are the essence of the history of ancient India, if all else were lost, they would still be its sole and sufficient cultural history.” It is but natural that poet of genius reflect or reproduce a vast spectrum of ideas – of variegated levels like philosophical, speculative, cultural and so on. In that sense, Kālidāsa was a poet, par-excellence. To quote Aurobindo’s own words.
