The letters reveal Nirod's unique relationship with his guru. The exchanges are suffused with a special humour.
Sri Aurobindo : corresp.
Nirodbaran's correspondence with Sri Aurobindo began in February 1933 and continued till November 1938, when Sri Aurobindo injured his leg and Nirod became one of his attendants. The entire correspondence, which was carried on in three separate notebooks according to topics - private, medical, and literary - is presented in chronological order, revealing the unique relationship Nirod enjoyed with his guru, replete with free and frank exchanges and liberal doses of humour. Covering a wide range of topics, both serious and light-hearted, these letters reveal the infinite care Sri Aurobindo devoted to the spiritual development of his disciple.
THEME/S
The most important letters of this correspondence were first published in Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo (First Series, 1954; Second Series, 1959; Combined Edition, 1969) and were arranged according to the subject-matter. In 1972 and 1974 additional letters (humorous ones for the most part) were published in Correspondence with Sri Aurobindo (Part III) and Sri Aurobindo's Humour.
In this new edition, nearly half of the material is being published for the first time. Parts of the edition were serialised in the Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education (November 1971 to August 1975) and Mother India (May 1980 to November 1982).
