The first edition of this biography in 1945 contained corrections by Sri Aurobindo himself. The third edition in 1972 was rewritten in the light of new material
Sri Aurobindo : Biography
THEME/S
All of Sri Aurobindo's quotations are from the Sri Aurobindo Birth Centenary Library (SABCL) published in 1972. Almost all references from A.B. Purani's The Life of Sri Aurobindo are now from the fully revised and enlarged Fourth Edition of 1978. Most of the quotations from the Mother's writings have been given their references in the Collected Works of the Mother published in the late 70s. The Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education is herein referred to only as Bulletin. The other references have been left as they were in our 1972 Edition.
