A critique of the book "The Lives of Sri Aurobindo" by Peter Heehs ... By Raman Reddy May 6, 2009 Jugal Kishore Mukherji's Letter to the Trustees in 1986
“History repeats itself if you do not learn its lessons”, is the message that clearly comes across when you read Jugal Kishore Mukherji’s letter to the Trustees written in June 1986, twenty two years before the Heehs controversy became a big public issue in August/September 2008... Incidentally, what many of us have recently written in protest against the Lives of Sri Aurobindo is all there in seed form in Jugal-da’s arguments. We have written nothing new, and even what has been of late written by Heehs’ supporters is a repetition of what was written then in his defence. The story of Heehs has simply repeated itself, like a politician’s scandal on a much larger scale, for people to be convinced more than ever that there always was something wrong about it. In short, had Heehs’ work been editorially supervised from that point of time when Jugal-da shouted himself hoarse, a lot of unpleasantness would have been avoided now.

In the two weeks that my peers and I spent there, we participated in two deep ecology seminars, the first of which prepared us to participate in a ‘march of all beings’ on Earth Day. This march, I think, was one of the moments when I experienced Auroville at its best; children and adults arrived at a meeting point dressed as a ‘being’ with which they identified—notable beings included a porcupine, lots of trees an blue-green algae—and then we all marched together in celebration of our interconnectedness. I was completely skeptical about the whole event at first, but it was incredibly uplifting to see all these people, especially the children, identifying so readily with other natural forms and generally appreciating the earth in a way that we often forget to.

SAIEC, Baragarh & Matru Kala Niketan, Gopinathpur, Orissa

Prapatti, a well known name to the members of Sri Aurobindo Study Circles of Orissa, was born on 30th April 1924 in a village Bharogole, 42 Mouza of District Cuttack... He came for good to Sri Aurobindo Ashram in September, 1954. Under the guidance of Babaji Maharaj Sri Ramakrishna Das, on 21st February 1958, a quarterly magazine Nabajyoti was published under Prapatti’s editorship. This led to the establishment of Nabajyoti Karyalaya which served as a bridge between the people of Orissa and the Presence of the Divine Mother at Pondicherry.
The Mother’s work in Orissa started in 1949 when two Study Circles were formed with Sri Aurobindo’s permission (One at Rairangpur in 1949 another at Cuttack in 1950). Sri Ramakrishna Das fondly known as Babaji Maharaj who was a sanyasi at Ajodhya joined
Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry, on 2nd February 1945. Babaji Maharaj had aspired for the people of Orissa to open to The Mother’s and Sri Aurobindo’s Consciousness. With Mother’s happy approval and Prapatti as an able instrument, the first phase of work included organisation of Study Circles, Students and Youth Associations, Women’s Study Circles, zonal and state level Study Circle Meets etc.. In the next phase, Integral Education Centres, Relics Centres with experiments in collective living were initiated . Prapatti under the active guidance of Babaji Maharaj had been organising all these activities. Home Welcome to the website of The Mother's work in Orissa

Sri Aurobindo Study Circle Anniversary, Gania, Orissa

When Sri Aurobindo was preparing to sit down to write, Champaklal brought three copies of The Life Divine for his autograph. Champaklal read out the names of the buyers, which were written on a slip of paper. When his own name came, he kept silent. Then Nirodbaran said: "Champaklal. " Sri Aurobindo turned and remarked, "You should have said, 'Who is this Champaklal?'" There was laughter again. [...]

At noon Nirodbaran read out a letter to Sri Aurobindo. It was written by Sisir Maitra to Anilbaran in the course of their discussion on Reason, Buddhi, Kant, Hegel, the Gita, etc. Ultimately Sri Aurobindo was referred to. In the evening Purani took up the topic. Document: Home > E-Library > Works Of Disciples > Nirodbaran > Talks With Sri Aurobindo-Vol 1 > 11 To 19 Dec.1939

Lankaweb - Netaji was primarily a left wing activist who had received from his political guru Chittaranjan Das, the dedication to the cause of Indian freedom based on Hindu-Muslim unity; compare that with Prabhakaran’s ignorant ethno-centric ‘struggle’ that failed to accommodate even the Eastern Province Tamils.
As to the respective influences that fashioned them, Netaji was born close to the turn of the century, in 1897. Like all middle class eastern Indians of the time, he was deeply influenced by the intellectual and cultural milieu of Bengal, the ‘liberation’ philosophy of Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo in particular,

April 26, 2009 Yesterday, I went back to the Savitri Bhavan hall in Auroville to listen to Professor Aravinda Basu share his memories of Sri Aurobindo. He was such a beautiful old man. Funny as old men usually are. As captivating as any old yogi must be. He smiled and nodded at me as he shuffled out the door. I wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home with me. Posted by Krystina at 4:43 AM Linda and I went to a march and group meditation at the ashram on Friday for the anniversary of Mirra Richards coming to stay in Pondicherry, oh so many years ago. After the march, a band played and it was the most out of tune group in the history of bands. Linda warned me of it, but it still made me laugh. She asked, "How can everyone remain so serious for it?"

IInd Session: 11.15 am- 01.00 pm Chair- Professor Probal Dasgupta Speakers... Dr. Sampadanand Mishra: Principles of Plant Taxonomy: A Fresh Insight into the Ancient Indian Methodology and Philosophy of Naming and Classifying the Medicinal Plants. Proper nomenclature and classification play important role in the systematization of any branch of knowledge. In this regard the ancient Indian Rishis and Acharyas have shown much transparency in their scientific observations. To them to name was to touch the essence of the thing or object named. They could really enter into the soul or the consciousness of the thing or the object and then gave the name as per their experience. We find a clear reflection of this in the names of the plants as they appear in various texts of Ayurveda. From the various names given to one plant one can truly understand not only the various morphological characteristics of that plant but also the special medicinal properties that the plant has. This is still a mystery that how the ancient Indian Vaidyas or medical scientists could discover the exact property of a plant and its multidimensional aspects when there was no such facility what the empirical science has today. This paper brings a fresh insight into this aspect and throws light on the ancient Indian methodology and philosophy of naming and classifying the medicinal plants. Bio Note: Dr. Sampadananda Mishra is a free-lance researcher. He was initiated to Sanskrit by his grandfather, Pandit Paramananda Mishra. He came in contact with Sanskrit from his very childhood. In 1993, after finishing his post-graduation in Sanskrit from Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, he came to do his M.Phil in Sanskrit in Pondicherry Central University. There he was awarded Gold Medal for his excellent performance in the subject. In 1995, he got an invitation to work for an important project,“ The Wonder that is Sanskrit”, undertaken by Sri Aurobindo Society, Pondicherry. In the past twelve years he has worked on many projects and published many books including The Wonder that is Sanskrit , The Century of Life, Chandovallari and Hasymanjari.
