AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok da, what’s the best biographical work on Sri Aurobindo that covers various phases of his life๐Ÿง? Should I bother myself with the biography written by Peter heehs?

Peter Heehs biography is, in my view, misleading and diabolic. I have already written much about it earlier.  There are several beautiful biographies from which you can select. 

Rishabh Chand: Sri Aurobindo, His Life Unique is best for the pre-Pondicherry period.

Satprem: Adventure of Consciousness is wonderful from the presentation of ideas. 

AB Purani: Life of Sri Aurobindo is a standard biography, compact and comprehensive. 

KR Srinivas Iyengar: Sri Aurobindo is quite good and exhaustive. 

There are others but these four are factual and very good.  

Affectionately,

Alok Da

I am confused. Everyone around me seems to have some goal in life that they walk towards, and accordingly take decisions that lead them to that goal. It could be any kind of goal, small or big. I only had one when I was little, but it seems unachievable, so I only pursued it as a hobby. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿชท๐Ÿ‚[…]
