... words like competition and success, which do not carry with them the flavour of pure seeking. Today's world of sports and games is mostly an expression of the urge to competition and Success. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, when he put such energy into the revival of the ancient tradition of the Olympic Games, had a noble goal of establishing more securely peace between nations by making them to compete ...
... required Counouma to say that. And yet it is said that people do not speak about it to outsiders. NIRODBARAN: Counouma is not considered an outsider, perhaps. PURANI: If he had spoken to a friend of Baron for instance, he would have at once reported it. They can't tolerate such views when their relations are fighting and dying at the front. EVENING SRI AUROBINDO: What is the great strategic retreat ...
... of this manifestation, one has a vision that plunges down upon the way traversed and one remembers. But this memory is not a thing of the mental kind. Those who claim to have been such a baron of the Middle Ages or such a person who lived at such a place and such a time, are fanciful, they are simply victims of their own mental imagination. In fact, what remains of past lives are not beautiful ...
... AUROBINDO: In fact it is not true. Barin does not give the correct account of things. I was neither the founder nor the leader. It was P. Mitra and Miss Ghosal who started it on the inspiration of Baron Okakura. They had already started it before I went to Bengal and when I was there I came to hear of it. I simply kept myself informed of their work. My idea was for an open armed revolution in the whole ...
... AUROBINDO: Where did you get all this? PURANI : The Indian Express . (Laughter) SRI AUROBINDO: You always keep the name out. PURANI: But it must be in the Hindu also. SRI AUROBINDO: Baron says that the Germans are trying to use the French navy and submarines. The sinking of a British ship by a French submarine near Indo-China was done by Germany, he says. And that is why Darlan has ordered ...
... 1940-contd Talks with Sri Aurobindo 10 AUGUST 1940 PURANI: It seems that when Dilip was in Calcutta, he took Bose to Baron and introduced him. That is how they know each other. SRI AUROBINDO: Dilip has no sense of these things at all. He thinks, "You are a good man, he is a good man, both should meet each other." (Laughter) PURANI: Hitler's Blitzkrieg ...
... British Government will take possession of Pondicherry. Purani then reported that there had been a meeting of the Council in which David and others had spoken about the matter; some, especially Baron and the bank manager, favoured the idea, others opposed it. SRI AUROBINDO : Baron's voice seems to have been drowned out in a murmur of disapproval. SATYENDRA: But why should there be any difficulty ...
... 1940-contd Talks with Sri Aurobindo 22 AUGUST 1940 EVENING There was talk again about the Baron-Schomberg affair; it was said that it was Schomberg who had made all the mischief. PURANI: Ali has heard from somebody that you have remarked about his progress since Darshan. SRI AUROBINDO: When did I say that? PURANI: That was what I was wondering ...
... hammered it. Sri Aurobindo: I don't know but the overheadache is also reflected, which accounts for the number of alterations that have to be made. 91 12.NB: The other day Dilip said to M. Baron, "But one can't understand this surrealist poetry." He replied, "Why should you understand it?" Sri Aurobindo: Exactly — why should you understand? When you can instand, overstand, roundstand, ...

... Because if he takes it to his home, his mother may very well take it instead of he— June 21, 1938 I fear it is a surrealistic business. 213 I don't, understand anything of it! As Baron says, "Why do you want to understand?" It is very fine poetry—according to Housman "pure poetry", for his view is that the more nonsense, the greater—or at least the purer—poetry. Of course it must ...
... Aurobindo went to Bengal to patch up their differences, 188. P.C. Mitter, a well-known barrister, who organised the Anusilan Samiti in Bengal in collaboration with Sarala Devi at the instance of Baron Okakura, a Japanese art-connoisseur.

... the independence of India (although flawed by the Partition) on 15 August 1947. At about this time, the leader of the French Cultural Commission, Maurice Schumann, and the local French Governor, M. Baron, called on Sri Aurobindo to explore the possibility of opening an Institute at Pondicherry for the study of Indian and European culture. In the course of his talk, Sri Aurobindo told the French visitors ...
... volume includes the speeches of R.R. Diwakar, Himangshu Niyogi and others, as also a variety of contributions throwing light on the life-work and the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. C.F.

From behind the scenes, he helped the Mother whenever necessary with advice regarding the organisation and ...

We know of the mortal feud between the Bourguignons and the Armagnacs and the struggle among the Barons generally, some even siding with foreigners against their own countrymen (an Indian parallel we have in the story of Prithwiraj and Jayachand), poor Jeanne d'Arc lamenting over the 'much pity' that ...

... added to these the crowning gifts, reflectiveness, ideas, a comprehensive largeness of vision! Governing force, that splendid distinction inherited by England from her old Norman Page 59 barons, governing force and the noble gifts that go along with it, are great things in their way, but they are not the whole of politics. Ideas, reflection, the political reason count for quite as much, are ...
... Pakistan has a "very narrow social base of the ruling elite. Pakistan is ruled by four interest groups or their coalition: military, bureaucracy, the feudal lords and the industrial barons. Making up the nucleus of these four interest groups, it is believed, are a dozen corps commanders, nearly 2,000 landlords owning more than half the cultivable land, a cadre of nearly 1,000 officers ...
... Hitler remained sidelined, was Erich Ludendorff, pushed on by his ambitious wife-to-be, Mathilde von Kemnitz. To all of them an imperial restoration was the chief aim. Even the Berlin “Club of the Barons”, who practically put Hitler in the saddle, hoped to be able to bring William back from Holland in due time, and it was because of this expectation that Paul von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg was ...
... was that the road to eventual equality lay through initial inequalities. Ayub had implemented "trickle down economics" in Pakistan much before Ronald Reagan in the United States. A class of "robber barons" was created that resulted in the concentration of wealth in a handful of families. Forty-three families owned 75% of manufacturing assets and a similar percent of insurance assets. Only seven families ...
... , leaving only daughters to succeed them. The barons, afraid that one of their number might gain excessive power by marrying a reigning queen, invented a rule barring women from the succession. In 1328 they placed Philip of Valois, a cousin of the last king and a nephew of Philip the Fair, on the throne. But since Philip owed his position to the barons, he had to spend most of his reign bestowing favors... Years' War: a brief summary of the main events Edward III shared his barons' fondness for courtly magnificence and chivalric warfare. More popular with the aristocracy than his father had been, he was also more susceptible to their influence. Never quite willing to risk his popularity by forcing a showdown with the barons, he allowed them to retain a strong position in Parliament and in the Council... Council. This is probably why he drifted into the Hundred Years' War with France. War was a policy on which he and his barons could agree, and so long as the war was successful he could avoid domestic controversies. There were, of course, other reasons for the war. France was still trying to annex the English holdings in Aquitaine and gain full control of Flanders, which was the best market for ...
... are at present was seen and allotted by the Mother. In this house formerly VIP's used to come and stay. A family member of Lord Sinha once came and stayed here while on a visit to the Ashram. The Barons used to live in this house too. Later he became the governor of Pondicherry. We first stayed in the house where Mona stays today. At the time the landlord took back the house for his own use ...
... class, however, had no history of its own, for European history had been made, at least in the opinion of the premodern historians, by the Church and by the blue-blooded families of kings, counts and barons. The bourgeoisie had no historical or mythological roots; they were upstarts who had to borrow their past from the previous classes in power. This borrowing smelled strongly of imitation, plagiarizing ...

These policies were affecting adversely his political rivals, plutocrats and barons of various categories who, therefore, wanted to capture power at any cost.

... epic may be conceded to Professor Weber; the war is the consummation of the story & without a war there could be no Mahabharata. But the war of the Mahabharata was not a petty contest between obscure barons or a brief episode in a much larger struggle or a romantic & chivalrous emprise for the rescue of a ravished or errant Page 291 beauty. It was a great political catastrophe implying the ...
... One has to read them not with the intellect but with the solar plexus, try not to understand but feel the meaning. The surrealist poetry is the extreme in this kind – you remember our surrealist Baron’s question, “Why do you want poetry to have a meaning? “ Of course, you can put an intellectual explanation on the thing, but then you destroy its poetical appeal. Very great poetry can be written ...
