He was one of the first western and Protestant-inspired vaishanavites IMO. They love their institutions, don't they? It was appealing to a certain cross-segment of society.

If you can't go "offline" as a mere form-body, I wouldn't expect you to even come close to body of light realizations - and I don't mean that just intellectually. I've read most of the English-translated Aurobindo and I've never read anything even remotely associated with what I'd consider the spontaneous "vision" of todgal.
