The literature by disciples of Sri Aurobindo, or inspired by Sri Aurobindo's life and thought, in the several modern Indian languages and in Sanskrit is of considerable range and variety, and is also of high quality. It is however, beyond the scope of this bibliography to cover this extensive literature in about twenty Indian languages. But, certainly, outstanding among those who have made a mark in modern Indian poetry are Aurobindonians like Nishikanto in Bengali, Sundaram in Gujarati, Veluri Chandrasekharam in Telugu, and Bendre, Puttappa and Gokak in Kannada.

 Magazine Literature

The magazine literature on Sri Aurobindo is immense, and is still growing. Not only are there journals in several languages sponsored by disciples or admirers, but other learned periodicals the world over are also increasingly evincing intelligent interest in his life and work. While it is beyond our scope here to attempt a comprehensive list, the more important Aurobindonian journals are mentioned below, and most of these are published from Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry: 0

Bibliographies

There is a useful bibliography in A. B. Purani's The Life of Sri Aurobindo, giving in chronological sequence the dates of publication of Sri Aurobindo's works. There is also a brief annotated bibliography by Robert A. McDermott in the new edition of Sri Aurobindo's The Mind of Light (New York, 1971). Finally, each volume of the Birth Centenary Library edition has a very informative bibliographical note, covering the contents of the respective volumes.
