AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why does Sri Aurobindo chose to write His all the works, majorly, in English? I mean back in my head I know that he foresaw the future and he wanted the world whose common language will be English thus he gifted us with his ultimate prowess in that language. What do you think?πŸ–‹οΈπŸ“œπŸͺ·β˜€οΈ

P.S – I’m never forgetting what you said about His English too, that what Sri Aurobindo speaks is English and not the other way. I’m very well aware and I strong heartedly agree on that.Β 

Yes, the language Sri Aurobindo chose to be most proficient in and as a medium of his writing is surely the international language of most places. It is itself one of the signs that his teachings are not meant for one country or some sections of mankind but have a universal import.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
