A combination of authentic material from Sri Aurobindo s own letters and other writings, research materials, correspondence, and personal reminiscences, this early biography of Sri Aurobindo was originally undertaken as a correction to various unauthorised books on his life and work. Revised three times, this edition includes seventy-eight pages of appendices and an extensive bibliography, in addition to the glossary and index, and traces the significant events in Sri Aurobindo s life as well as the evolution of his spiritual thought. The author s own involvement in the freedom movement brought him into contact with Sri Aurobindo, and especially the accounts of his early meetings with Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry add a vibrant intimacy to this biography.

This book covers a twenty year period from 1923 to 1943. It offers us a precious glimpse of Sri Aurobindo's external personality and gives some idea of his richness, many-sidedness and uniqueness. His versatile genius, penetrating intellect, extraordinary power of expression, intense sincerity, sense of realism, and understanding of world events in political, social and cultural spheres are also displayed.
