Peter Heehs asked to appear in the court on February 20

Other States - Orissa Summons to Aurobindo biographer
Correspondent The Hindu CUTTACK:

Even as the Orissa High Court is adjudicating over a petition on “malicious” publication of a biography on Sri Aurobindo, a lower court here after taking cognizance of a complaint case has summoned the author of the controversial book.

Charge of defamation
The Cuttack Sadar SDJM court last week had issued summons to writer of the book Peter Heehs asking him to appear in the court on February 20. Alleging that the biography contains defamatory and perverse comments on Sri Aurobindo’s character, life, writings and thoughts, the petitioner Deviprasad Das has sought action against the writer under charges of defamation.
It may be recalled here that a Balasore-based woman Gitanjali Bhattacharya has moved the HC seeking ban on the book.
In her petition she has alleged that the writer in her book has mentioned that Sri Aurobindo was morally loose in character and did not hold integrity as a person.

Adjudicating over the petition, the HC had issued notices to both Orissa and Central governments, the writer and to the managing director of Penguin Books.
The book titled ‘The Life of Sri Aurobindo’ was first published by US-based Columbia Press. In India, the Penguin Books had announced to publish the book in November 2008.

Hee-hee – Hah-hah & Co

SAABA - NEWS LETTER No. 59
SAABA - NEWS LETTER No. 59 DT. 3/09/02 SAVITRI(P.4)1. Analysis–OUTLOOK– ‘Sole or Soul?’-Herlock Sholmes? 2. Lopsi - Khichudi of SAVITRI. 3. NEWS. – Ides of march 27-28/8/02; The charges framed 420, 460, 120B at Alipore.

An OUTLOOK and Analysis on OUTLOOK - From where and when this business of Tampering of Savitri began? Who were the key players in the chess-play of this slow and ominous move forward in the doom destiny of the earth-soul? Who became the instruments of the forces of darkness and Satan? Again, we are getting some hints from the infamous ‘Supplement to the New Edition of Savitri’ of Mr. Heehs and his comrades. Mr. Hee-hee – Ha-ha & Co. came out boldly for the first time in front of the reporter Mr. A. S. Paneerselvan of OUTLOOK on that fateful 15th day of the month of March, 1999: ‘…”It all depends on the Teacher and ends with his lifetime, unless there is another Teacher who can take his place (Sri Aurobindo on Ashram).” ...

Peter Heehs and Richard Hartz, who have been editing The Complete Works of Sri Aurobindo, say that their attempt is “ to bring back to the letter of what Aurobindo did and wrote during his lifetime. The line which (Pranab) Bhattacharya accuses of deleting was deleted by Aurobindo himself.” ‘ SAABA states that this is a blatant lie by Hee-hee – Hah-hah & Co and is the product of their fertile imaginations.

Theme for Matrimandir Calendar 2009 are the 12 Meditation Rooms

Matrimandir - Newsletter Matrimandir is very much in transition these days. From a bustling construction site, the focus of the activity here is shifting to the quieter work on the gardens and maintaining the entire complex in a manner befitting the symbol that is Matrimandir...

New Access Policy
Starting on the 25 th of November 2008, a new access policy will come into force here at Matrimandir. It will mark a major shift that is in conformity with the changed circumstances here, namely that the construction is truly over and the Matrimandir has come into its own. The timings for visitors to the Inner Chamber will change, which will make it easier for many who find the 5 to 6 evening timing inconvenient.
From the 25 th , the Inner Chamber concentration hour will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. every morning. This means that people coming for concentration should reach here by 9:15 a.m . latest. Bookings will continue to be necessary,booking timings are given below.
For the first-time visitors, the ‘introduction' visit will be from 10:00 a.m. Those who have registered for this visit must reach here by 9:45 a.m.
The booking times (either in person or by phonen) will change from the morning to the afternoon: between 2 and 4 p.m. We hope this will make it easier for people to make their bookings in advance. It is best to phone at least 2 days ahead to ensure your place. Home > The City > Matrimandir > Newsletter > October 2008

Auroville Books The Matrimandir Calendar 2009 has been delivered to Auroville and is available for sale. The theme for 2009 are the 12 Meditation Rooms, also called "Petals" around the Matrimandir which have just been finished this summer.

Prithwi Singh and his friends used to meet at Indian Silk House to discuss the philosophy of Sri Aurobindo

Prithwi Singh Nahar
By Anurag Banerjee

The year 1924 also brought Prithwi Singh to the works of Sri Aurobindo, the Illumined Master who was to be his Guru and whom he was destined to meet nine years later. Though Prithwi Singh was aware of Sri Aurobindo’s evolutionary philosophy, courtesy the Arya—Sri Aurobindo’s monthly review published from 1914 to 1921— of which he was an avid reader, yet, he never thought of practising at that time the Integral Yoga developed by Sri Aurobindo. He had a particular group of friends—Rishabhchand Samsukha,[11] Parichand Kothari,[12] Umirchand Kothari, Anil Kumar Bhattacharya[13]all of them joined Sri Aurobindo Ashram later—who used to meet at “Indian Silk House”(a sari shop started by Rishabhchand) where they discussed the yoga and philosophy of Sri Aurobindo. Nirmal Singh remembers:

“‘Indian Silk House’ was a partnership concern between Rishabhchand and Parichand. And that was in the early Brahmo Samaj office in Cornwallis Street—the annexe. The front portion was the shop and inside there was a sitting room. Even my grandfather had gone there. I had gone with them. Dilip-da [Dilip Kumar Roy] and others used to send books and other things from Pondicherry. That was the centre. Father used to collect the books from there.” [...]

In December 1929, Prithwi Singh shifted to Shantiniketan with his family. He knew the significance of freedom in the development of the character and personality of a person as he himself was a victim of the “narrow limits of his community” when nine years earlier, he was refused the permission to go to Oxford and study. So he wanted the progress of his children not to be hindered by such narrowness. [...]

In 1933, Prithwi Singh went on a pilgrimage to South India with a servant named Firengi whose father Baidyanath had served Puran Chand. On his way back from Rameshwaram, he halted at Pondicherry in November. At that time, Sri Aurobindo and the Mother gave Darshans only thrice a year: 21 February (the Mother’s birthday), 15 August (Sri Aurobindo’s birthday) and 24 November (Sri Aurobindo’s Siddhi Day). Prithwi Singh had read the major works of Sri Aurobindo that were published serially in the Arya and since it was the month of the Darshan, the opportunity to stand in front of Sri Aurobindo (although for a few minutes or so) was something no one wanted to lose.

Nor did Prithwi Singh. He had his first Darshan of Sri Aurobindo with the Mother sitting on his right on 24 November. He made his obeisance to them and received the divine touch of the dual-Avatars on his head. After the Darshan, he realized that his search for his Guru had come to an end. In Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, he found the Guides he was seeking. His mind, which knew no peace following the demise of his wife, found EVERYTHING in them. He made up his mind to settle at Pondicherry permanently. [...]

As mentioned earlier, the first work assigned to Prithwi Singh was the task of re-organizing the Ashram Library. This led him to start the Publication Department as he wanted the whole world to receive the priceless treasure bequeathed by Sri Aurobindo through his literary works. The best source of knowledge regarding Prithwi Singh’s contribution towards the Publication Department is an extremely informative article titled Prithwi Singh and the Publication Department penned by his daughter Sumitra Nahar.

Amal Kiran’s journey still continues. He no longer writes; no longer converses much but conveys much through his silence

Aspects of Amal Kiran
By Anurag Banerjee

Amal Kiran’s journey still continues. He no longer writes; no longer converses much but conveys much through his silence. He was never afraid of death for he himself had written in a letter to his Guru in the early 1940s:

“Death by itself does not frighten me very much. I do have the normal man’s recoil from it, but my mind has a certain detachment which makes something in me rise superior to fear…Yet death does appeal to me horribly because it would cut short my spiritual growth in this life and waste the mercy that has brought me close to you and given me a grand opportunity to be your instrument. I want to live and realise what I have never ceased to regard as my true ultimate goal. Personally, I do not and cannot even believe that I shall die and not realise that goal.”

This fearlessness still exists, fostering the progress of the soul for he claimed:

“I am doing my best to live long both because I am happy and can give happiness and because I want as much time as possible to go nearer to Sri Aurobindo’s luminous Truth and the Mother’s radiant Beauty. All the same I am ready to say ‘Hurrah’ whenever they tell me, ‘Your time is up.’” (The Wonder That is K.D.Sethna alias Amal Kiran, p. 2)

Amal Kiran always craved to realize the Divine as that has been the foremost aim of his lfe. 12:28 PM
