Amal Kiran's Correspondence with The Mother

29 December 1944

Amal,

Your letter of the 20th and its contents reached safely.

I have never written articles and I do not propose to begin now. All I can do is to send you my short remarks on the present world situation, part of which is in the prayer for the coming year. You will find them enclosed on a separate paper.

Your proposals for the title of the Annual are not very successful. Sri Aurobindo, who I consulted, suggests that you should do like the Pathmandir in Calcutta, that is to say, call it “Sri Aurobindo Circle–1st Annual”.

Sri Aurobindo will see if he can send you some poems, but he can make no promise, for there may not be any which he wants to publish now.

With my love and blessings and my best wishes for a happy New Year
