Sri Aurobindo’s siddhi

Sri Aurobindo LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Statesman Sir, ~ This is with reference to DK Gangopadhyay’s article, “A lover of humanity” (Perspective page, 17 August). The date of Sri Aurobindo’s siddhi has been mistakenly mentioned as 24 April 1926. The actual date is 24 November 1926. The author was perhaps confused with another date, 24 April 1920, the date of the Mother’s arrival in Pondicherry. These two dates, 24 April and 24 November, are two of the four darshan days at Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, the other two days being the birthdays of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, 21 February and 15 August respectively. Further, the author has made a minor error in spelling the Mother’s name as Mirra Alfasso. Her full name is Blanche Rachel Mirra Alfasso. ~ Yours, etc., Gopal Ghosh,
