I can’t comment about spiritual realizations or experiences, but as far as an explanation of this creation and cosmos (i.e. metaphysics/ontology) is concerned, Sri Aurobindo, in his The Life Divine, has written the most coherent one. No one before or after him has surpassed that comprehensiveness. 

At least in this respect he ranks at the top. If we concede this much to Sri Aurobindo, it would be a great gain. He earns this distinction on merit and let the whole world know this bare fact very clearly.

Tusar, I couldn't agree more!

Also his Synthesis of Yoga does the same thing as far as spiritualpractice goes. So not only has Sri Aurobindo created the greatest philosophical and metaphysical synthesis the world has seen, he has also created the most all-encompassing framework for spiritual practices the world has seen. 

And the fact that his yoga emphasises one direction (the greatest of all, the divinisation of the world) does not take away from the fact that the same framework presented in Synthesis of Yoga can also incorporate nondual spirituality (Advaita), Theism (Christianity, Vaishnavism, etc), Tantric approaches, and more besides.
