AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

I see my mumma reading Sri Aurobindo’s books I wonder when Sri Aurobindo wrote them who typed⌨️ them out?

Most of the books were typed by Sri Aurobindo himself directly on the typewriter. Later his written letters and corrections were mainly seen and typed out by Shri Prithwi Singh Nahar, a beautiful being who served as Sri Aurobindo’s scribe for these books despite his poor and failing vision. 

Affectionately,
