Nirod reveals intimate aspects of The Mother's grace of which he was the grateful and happy recipient and witness.
The Mother : Contact
Nirodbaran paid his homage of love to the Mother on her Birth Centenary, the 21st of February 1978 in 'The Mother - Sweetness and Light', of which the present title is an enlarged version. And from his personal contact with her, he revealed one of the most intimate aspects of the Mother, of which he was the grateful and happy recipient and witness. Beginning with their first meeting in 1930, Nirodbaran recounts some of his contacts with the Mother over a period of more than forty years. She guided him on medical matters during his years as the Ashram doctor, encouraged him in his games of tennis, volleyball, and table tennis, and in later years was a willing audience as he read out to her his books concerning his contact with Sri Aurobindo. This book presents many examples of the Mother's ways of working in the daily life of the Ashram community.
THEME/S
Thanks to Nirod, we have the revelation of an altogether unknown side of Sri Aurobindo. It is extremely interesting and very instructive.
This was the Mother’s comment on Nirodbaran’s book Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo which he wrote for Sri Aurobindo’s Birth Centenary, the 15th of August 1972. Next, Nirodbaran paid his homage of love to the Mother on her Birth Centenary, the 21st of February 1978 in The Mother — Sweetness and Light. And from his personal contact with her, he revealed one of the most intimate aspects of the Mother, of which he was the grateful and happy recipient and witness.
One of the personal attendants of Sri Aurobindo, Nirodbaran was initiated into poetry and literature by him. Eventually as Sri Aurobindo’s scribe, he took down a major portion of the epic poem Savitri dictated by the Master. today Nirodbaran is an active member of the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, Pondicherry.
Now we are bringing out a revised and enlarged edition of his book on the Mother under a new title.
