Jagannath Vedalankar's Correspondence with The Mother

Notes on the Texts

Series Five—Jagannath. Jagannath Vedalankar joined the Ashram in 1945. The Mother asked him to work in the newly founded Ashram Press. His correspondence with her deals mainly with his press work between 1946 and 1950, but also with his efforts to help his brother around 1947 at the time of the partition of India and Pakistan. Most of the Mother’s replies were first published in 1995 in the book Beautiful Vignettes of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, pp. 147–57. The present correspondence, prepared from Jagannath’s manuscripts, includes the entries in Vignettes along with some additional ones. The correspondence is in English.
