Life of Sri Aurobindo

Description

by A.B Purani

A combination of authentic material from Sri Aurobindo’s own letters and other writings, research materials, correspondence, and personal reminiscences, this early biography of Sri Aurobindo was originally undertaken as a correction to various unauthorised books on his life and work. Revised three times, this edition includes seventy-eight pages of appendices and an extensive bibliography, in addition to the glossary and index, and traces the significant events in Sri Aurobindo’s life as well as the evolution of his spiritual thought. The author’s own involvement in the freedom movement brought him into contact with Sri Aurobindo, and especially the accounts of his early meetings with Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry add a vibrant intimacy to this biography.
