Letters of Sri Aurobindo

6. The Divine and the Hostile Powers

Fragment ID: 600

Vayu and Indra are cosmic godheads presiding over the action of cosmic principles – they are not the manomaya puruṣa or prāṇamaya puruṣa in each man.

The Purusha is an essential being supporting the play of Prakriti; the godhead (Indra, Vayu, etc.) is a dynamic being manifested in Prakriti for the works of the plane to which he belongs.
