you may repeat these unsubstantiated legends and myths because Kalhana said so in his Rajtarangni, but they are just origin myths, like many of the claims in his book where he talks about kings living hundreds of years and fights with demons. But apparently we're brain-dead! https://t.co/0e1ALBfkmO

All this is after contact with Muslims and Christians, so it does not prove your point. The Hindu renaissance of the 19th century (of which Vivekananda was a part) was largely because of British influence. That is how Rammohan Roy, Dayanand Saraswati, Tagore and others came up.
Or the reasons could also be false propaganda regarding these three.
If you feel that Christianity+Colonialism was bad, don't you agree that Hinduism+BJP is going to be equally evil and disastrous in the long run, though they may achieve some temporary gains?

Aurobindo's Yoga accepts not only the beast within (In his writings he calls this power the Vital) but also love (The Psychic) and other parts of the being too, and turn them towards the divine. This is the Integral Yoga. I hope this helps.

Sri Aurobindo once went to Pondicherry Railway Station to see Sarojini off. Amrita(?) remarked how full of love he is to which Sri Aurobindo replied with same love he can plunge a knife onto the disciple. (From memory; unable to locate reference. Not to confuse as Sarojini Naidu)
