Alok da, what’s the best biographical work on Sri Aurobindo that covers various phases of his life🧐? 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

Is it possible for the human body to sustain fully on the Soul’s Shakti without outside Food? As there’s the Soul’s inner nadam (Sound), inner vision, inner fragrance, inner touch, inner taste (Amrutha), for all indriyas, can there be food for the body also from Atman for its survival? Can Atman fully sustain the body after Realisation? 🥗😊🙏🏻🪻

In principle it is possible and one day it shall be so. There are other possible means for the body to draw energy apart from food. But the problem is of replacing the flesh. A transformed body will of course not need food…
