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

Work is an important part of the Integral Yoga. Realising the Divine in inner meditation, inner subjective experiences, trance states, do not change us except for the growth of inner peace and light of wisdom. It is work that brings our dynamic parts into contact with the Divine and has the power to transform.ย 

Take it with the attitude of surrender to The Mother. Offer the work in the beginning and the end with a prayer to
