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 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

My deception, which I did for a good purpose (for saving integrity within the family), is revealed and I am bashed out like anything. I don’t complain here, but I realised whatever the purpose may be, a deception is a deception. The Mother helped me learn a great lesson here. Can you please explain? πŸ˜₯πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ‘©πŸ»β€πŸ‘§πŸ»β€πŸ‘¦πŸ»πŸŒΉπŸ¦‹

It is difficult to say anything as i do not know what exactly happened. Also it depends upon what you mean by conscious deception as well as the intent behind it. There is also deception done in good faith. The worst yet the …

As I read Valmiki’s original, Ramayana, anywhere and everywhere, the description of Sri Rama’sΒ  Gunanubhava, Roopa Sowndarya, and Gambheerya brings the Soul’s Perfection in Human form, not merely a highly elevated Satwic Human. πŸ“™πŸŒ…πŸΉ[…]

If all the Divine possibilities are already manifested in Rama then the whole idea of Dashavatar becomes meaningless. Rama is no doubt great and it is true that few if any human being can surpass him in valour and …
